SUPER ADORABLE! MAGAt who left NYT over "woke bullying & silencing of conservatives" is now EDITOR at CBS! [View all]

Bari Weiss, the former New York Times opinion columnist who’s since built a career crusading against “cancel culture” and the left’s supposed excesses, will be CBS News’ new editor-in-chief, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

The network, whose parent company Paramount was just acquired by Skydance in a Trump administration-approved merger, will also acquire Weiss’ Free Press, the publication she initially launched on Substack after leaving the Times in a huff in 2020, accusing the young “wokes” on staff of “bullying” her and silencing more conservative voices.

The Free Press deal is worth $150 million, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Weiss will report directly to Paramount Skydance Chief Executive David Ellison.
