Earlier today, we told you about Bari Weiss, the former New York Times op-ed editor and writer, and Paramount's offer to buy The Free Press, the outlet she established after leaving the NYT.
Lefties are not happy about this, because Weiss does what they refuse to do: engage in actual journalism. A 'free speech attorney,' Jenin Younes, deleted a post in which she called Weiss a 'modern-day Goebbels.'
Other CBS staffers are mad, too, and they're threatening to leave over Weiss's new role with the company:
Here's more from the New York Post:
CBS News staffers are “apoplectic” over reports that Bari Weiss — an avowedly pro-Israel journalist — is on the verge of taking a top job at the Tiffany Network, according to a report.
Weiss, the former New York Times opinion editor who quit in 2020 after blasting the paper’s “illiberal environment,” is reportedly in line for a senior editorial role at CBS as part of Paramount’s pending acquisition of her startup, the Free Press, in a deal valued at up to $200 million.
Paramount boss David Ellison, who seized control of the network in an $8 billion mega-merger with Skydance, has declined to comment on the talks. But the Puck News website reported late Wednesday that the deal is in advanced stages and likely to close soon.
Oh no. Not a pro-Israel journalist!
This is another win for Weiss, because anyone who would quit over her being an editor at CBS isn't a journalist.
More than acceptable.
It sure is.
This is who the Left is: they think they have more rights and sway than the people who sign their paychecks.
We'll see.
Our sentiments exactly.
Worth every penny.
It skyrocketed.
Probably.
The Left cannot tolerate the thought of not having a stranglehold on every media outlet. Hence, the meltdowns.
