CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss told staff to leave the company if they were unwilling to move forward under her vision as she continues to make the network more Trump-friendly.
The network has been embroiled in controversy since Weiss, who had no prior experience in TV news, was hired as its editor-in-chief after its parent company, Paramount, acquired her news blog, The Free Press, for $150 million. Weiss directly reports to Paramount CEO David Ellison, son of Trump megadonor Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
In an all-hands meeting across each CBS News bureau on Tuesday, Weiss appeared to acknowledge that the network has had a poor public reception during her takeover and told staff to quit if they do not like her vision.
