Paramount followed up on its promise to the Trump administration to appoint an ombudsman to root out “complaints of bias” at CBS News by naming longtime conservative think tank leader Kenneth R. Weinstein to the position on Monday.
Besides previously serving as the Hudson Institute’s president and CEO, Weinstein was also nominated by Donald Trump in 2020 to serve as the United States Ambassador to Japan and was appointed as a member of the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations by Trump in 2018.
