Bari Weiss announced this week that she is placing Honestly – her podcast for The Free Press – on pause “for a few short months” as she deals with the “huge responsibility” of her role as CBS News editor-in-chief, which has been marked with snowballing controversies and plummeting morale among network staff.
The break comes as Weiss continues to be front and center in media news, whether it’s the drama around her decision to finally air the controversially-delayed “Inside CECOT” segment this week, rumors that she’s taking aim at blowing up another CBS News program, or scuttlebutt that network veterans’ “jobs are on the line” because they’ve pushed back against her.
