'It's not a good place right now': CBS News staffers are 'literally freaking out' about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom

All news is taking a hard right turn these days. Depressing.

The imminent arrival of anti-woke and stridently pro-Israel “heterodox” pundit Bari Weiss as the editor-in-chief of CBS News has left the newsroom’s staff “literally freaking out,” with sources telling The Independent that the Tiffany Network is “not a good place right now.”

The rising frustration among the network’s journalists has also been compounded by the fact that David Ellison, the chief executive of the newly merged Paramount Skydance, is preparing to implement brutal layoffs and slash up to 10 percent of CBS News’ staff – all while paying Weiss up to $150 million to acquire her digital media outlet The Free Press.

I wonder if she was living in 1930s Germany if she would have ratted people out to make a buck or save herself.

She was also born into privilege, went to fancy schools. I guess all us scum sucking working class people can get fucked in her opinion. Boggles my mind how people work against their own interests.
