If CBS News staffers are throwing fits of apoplexy over the announcement that Bari Weiss will be their new overlord, they are mostly doing so in private. A few have leaked to other media reporters that the general sentiment is one of depression—"a throwing up emoji is not enough of a reflection of the feelings in here"—but we have yet to witness waves of public denunciation, resistance, or resignation.
Others seem stuck in the bargaining phase of learning to cope with trauma, which follows anger and precedes depression: One anonymous staffer suggested that everything would be OK as long as Weiss didn't mess with 60 Minutes. Next stop, acceptance.
