Bari Weiss CNN takeover in jeopardy as Paramount cools on her

Bari Weiss just adores Peter Thiel and is thinking about adopting his motto, that freedom and democracy cannot be reconciled, as the new theme of CBS News. www.thedailybeast.com/maga-curious...

I love this for her. "Paramount boss David Ellison has reportedly cooled on CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss after her '60 Minutes' debacle, throwing her CNN takeover into doubt." www.rawstory.com/bari-weiss-2...

This is Bari Weiss' Mamdani and El-Sayed "reporter." Actual journalists share facts and context, not taunts.

​Bari Weiss's CNN takeover in jeopardy as Paramount sours on her: expert #RawStory

Whelp, let’s all take a moment to enjoy this kind of reporting from CNN, thorough, informative and resource-based.. until Paramount and Trump choad Bari Weiss gets their filthy, low brow tiny little hands on it.

Bari Weiss praising Peter Thiel at an awards ceremony last night. By his own admission - Peter Thiel doesn't believe in democracy. Bari Weiss has already destroyed CBS and may probably do the same to CNN on behalf off the Trump supporting billionaire Ellison family.

Elon makes Bari Weiss look subtle and devious by comparison; his version of CNN would basically be the TV network from Starship Troopers

Will an oversight board keep CNN independent after Paramount/WB merger? Doubtful. Look for Bari Weiss-quality management to hamstring CNN after the takeover. (no paywall)

It means CNN gets the Bari Weiss treatment. It gets nerfed.

DEMOCRACY DOCKET Marc Elias Under Ellison family’s control, CBS News has morphed into friendly territory for Trump..with Paramount-Warner Bros merger approved, CNN is about to join the former Tiffany Network in Bari Weiss’s playground ⬇️

ADWEEK's posted evening news ratings for the 2025-2026 season. ABC and NBC earned increased viewership over the previous season. The first Bari Weiss season at CBS saw declines in both total viewership and in the valued 25-54 demographic. www.adweek.com/tvnewser/her... #TheWeekend #Connect #MSNOW

If Bari Weiss had a stand-up career, it might go about as well as her CBS News tenure.

Bari Weiss sure is sumthin’ 60 Minutes. Thiel + CBS + CNN? And yet still, EIC is not a broadcast title. Maybe “BIC” instead? 128 day boycott of CBS is still going strong.

A prediction: Jake Tapper stays at CNN and gets elevated to a larger role because he signalled early that he's Bari Weiss friendly. I also think both Rob Bonta and Gavin Newsom will suffer some political fallout, but it's unclear how much that matters.

It could be 0% and Scott Jennings would still be on every CNN panel yammering about imaginary non-citizen voting. Also, right-wingers in journalism like Bari Weiss are always guaranteed to fail upwards. Weird how that works.
