Paramount buys The Free Press, names Bari Weiss CBS News Editor In Chief
There is hope yet for CBS.
Longtime Free Press reader. It is the best, most objective news source that I know.
Bari is a libertarian, Jewish lesbian. Will be fun to watch proggie heads explode as they rationalize taking her down.

The beginning part of this is funny.

Huge news-you beat to posting it. What I'd expect next:
.....a feeling out process of the agency that may last a few months. Weiss knows the main players, and I'm sure she has an idea of what she wants.
A purge of the journo-activists to follow. It will be fun to read and watch the hard core liberal media anchors/reporters/writers start trying to write articles straight down the middle. They'll try, but they still won't be able to bring themselves to fairly state both sides' arguments.
I think that long term, this has the potential to offer America it's first mainstream media, down the middle news cast of the new era. I think that their competition will try to follow suit.
Journalism schools across the country better recalibrate what they are teaching quickly, or their are going to be a lot of Northwestern, Columbia, etc journalism majors flipping burgers to help pay off their student loans.
I like Bari. Smart move by Paramount, or at least an attempt at a smart move.
