Fox News host Emily Compagno suggested that the backlash to Paramount’s decision to install Bari Weiss as CBS News’ editor-in-chief had an “antisemitic thread” behind it, specifically flagging a recent article by The Independent.
Compagno’s remarks came during a Fox News segment about not only the broad criticism Weiss has received since arriving at CBS, but also the internal pushback from network staffers over the self-described “politically homeless” pundit’s DOGE-like directive.
