In a bold move for journalistic "balance," CBS News—now operating under the watch of Skydance Media head David Ellison—has officially handed a key reporting post to someone whose geopolitical compass points exclusively toward Jerusalem. Under Ellison's new corporate regime, appointing political commentator and The Free Press founder Bari Weiss to run editor-in-chief operations at CBS News sent clear signals about the network's editorial trajectory. Because when network executives brainstormed who best to deliver objective coverage on Middle Eastern diplomacy, naturally, the top choice was an operative whose foreign policy views make Benjamin Netanyahu look like a soft-spoken mediator.
Critics wondered if taking a microphone straight from government talking points to a legacy American news network under Weiss's watch might present a minor conflict of interest. CBS, however, assured viewers that her slavish devotion to Israeli state interests will only enhance their coverage—finally providing an insider’s perspective on how to read press releases verbatim.
