Bari Weiss, self described "Zionist fanatic" has been appointed minder over CBS News. As if CBS News needed to be even more biased. I have commented before, how CBS News was pushing for US military intervention in the Syrian civil war, to toppled the Assad regime, a long time irritant to Israel.
Bari Weiss mocked for suggesting ‘charismatic’ voices like Alan Dershowitz are what CBS News needs
Alan Dershowitz, the 87-year-old former lawyer and friend of deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, is apparently the type of “charismatic” thought leader who should be elevated on CBS News’ airwaves, according to the network’s newly installed editor-in-chief.
The curious declaration by Bari Weiss, the heterodox founder of the anti-woke digital outlet The Free Press who now leads the Tiffany Network’s news division, sparked widespread mockery from journalists and commentators.
Sitting next to right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro, Weiss asserted that not only did Dershowitz and Loesch seemingly represent the “center left and center right” of the political divide, but that their opinions and positions are “where the vast majority of Americans actually are.”
Meanwhile, she decried that provocateurs such as white nationalist Nick Fuentes, former Fox News star Tucker Carlson, misogynist influencer Andrew Tate and leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker had large audiences and popular podcasts.

Saw a comment from Robert Reich a couple days ago:
“ The richest man on Earth owns X.
The family of the second-richest man owns Paramount, which owns CBS, and could soon own Warner Bros, which owns CNN.
The third-richest man owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
The fourth-richest man owns the Washington Post and Amazon MGM Studios.
Another billionaire owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.
Yeah, tell me about the liberal media.

I don't care about how rich the owner of a media outlet is. I only care about it being used to inform USians, vs being used to distribute propaganda.
The sad thing is, right now, CBS "News" is still more informative than the drivel that ABC and NBC spew. Harry Truman had a theory: every media outlet is biased, one way, or another. So he read several newspapers every day. He figured, by reading several different takes on an issue, he could filter out the biases both ways, and get at the truth. I suppose you could do the same thing by watching Fox Noise and TYT.

to the same end effect, weiss is an israeli asset as trump is a russian one. (conflation with any deeply held religious views not even necessary)
weiss' heterodoxy is loyalty to propaganda rather than journalism.
despite nbc being the least trump-friendly, i dont seem much difference among the traditional 3 until weiss converts cbs news into foxlite.
