New CBS News Chief Bari Weiss Already Making Major Changes and Axing Staff Members in ‘Bloodbath’

Bari Weiss is the new boss at CBS News and she is already making changes that are the stuff of nightmares in liberal media circles.

Weiss was once a columnist at the New York Times, but was hounded out of her position by liberal mean girls and social justice warriors. She left the Times and created her own publication called the Free Press and it became so successful that she was bought out and hired to take over at CBS News.

She has only been in charge for a short time but big changes are already under way.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

‘Blood Bath’: CBS Parent Company Announces Mass Layoffs, Slashes ‘Race and Culture’ Unit

CBS News parent company Paramount on Wednesday announced around 2,000 layoffs—including nearly 100 in the newsroom—and eliminated the outlet’s “Race and Culture” unit in an effort to crack down on ideological bias.

As part of the cuts, the network will cancel its streaming shows CBS Mornings Plus and CBS Evening News Plus, shutter its South Africa bureau, and revamp its Saturday morning program, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source familiar with the changes. Guardian reporter Jeremy Barr also reported on the cuts, posting on X that CBS “gutted” its Race and Culture unit. CBS had tasked that unit with overseeing “news stories about race, culture and injustice, ensuring they have the proper context and tone,” according to a 2020 profile of executive producer Alvin Patrick.

Paramount CEO David Ellison, who has vowed to root out ideological bias at CBS and “right-size” the failing network, announced the moves in an internal memo.

“In some areas, we are addressing redundancies that have emerged across the organization,” Ellison wrote. “In others, we are phasing out roles that are no longer aligned with our evolving priorities and the new structure designed to strengthen our focus on growth. Ultimately, these steps are necessary to position Paramount for long-term success.”

Liberal hack John Dickerson has already announced his coming departure.

Good riddance! John Dickerson is out at CBS at the end of the year.

Gayle King could be next.

2,000 journalists axed at CBS — possibly including woke icon Gayle King.

I'd say learn to code but given H1b's maybe learn to flip burgers https://t.co/CvUU1uVAVi
