David Ellison has gotten precisely what he wanted after installing Bari Weiss as the head of CBS News: a pro-Trump, pro-Israel, anti-woke cheerleader with the thinnest veneer of liberal respectability. There’s only one wrinkle: everyone hates her.
It’s safe to say Weiss hasn’t had a great week. Her first big story for CBS was an interview with Erika Kirk, hardly a scoop, as it’s been difficult to escape Kirk across all forms of media since Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Viewing figures were terrible, and the interview embarrassing.
