CBS News leadership is considering sidelining editor-in-chief Bari Weiss from overseeing the network’s TV programming, according to reporting from Puck News.
The potential move follows sharp criticism of CBS News’s interview with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and continued declining ratings for “CBS Evening News.” Weiss, installed as editor-in-chief despite lacking television news experience, has overseen a turbulent tenure marked by controversial editorial decisions and staff departures.
Puck reported that while Paramount leadership initially afforded Weiss significant leeway due to personal approval and alignment with her editorial direction, dynamics are shifting.
Political analysts mocked the potential development on social media.
Journalist Alex Goldman referred to Weiss as “a generational talent,” on X.
Journalist Julian Andreone also reacted on X, “Seems the foreign collusion and propagandizing was even too blatant for the Ellisons.”
Dave Troy questioned her understanding of television as a business, and political analyst Neera Tanden simply reacted with, “Good news!”
