JOB OPENING
Wanted: MAGA-leaning broadcast executive looking to serve as a news “ombudsman,” and make CBS News less of a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party.
Stating Salary: $250,000 a year. Hours: One day a month.
Not a bad gig — and it’s exactly what executives at CBS are searching for at the broadcaster, The Post has learned.
The position is part of a settlement agreement with President Trump’s media regulator, the Federal Communications Commission, which investigated whether the network’s Democrat-friendly political tilt violated FCC “public interest” guidelines.
The investigation centered on a controversial “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024 election that Trump and many conservatives believed was edited to make Harris sound more coherent.
Executives at the network are said to be making calls to gauge interest in the job.
The move to hire an executive to monitor and root out newsroom bias also comes as CBS got some good news in the investigation front: FCC chair Brendan Carr will not be ramping up a new probe into criticism that “60 Minutes” also took pains to edit out former President Joe Biden’s verbal incontinence during an earlier interview.
Former Paramount chief Shari Redstone is said to have settled a separate private lawsuit brought by Trump over the Harris editing — paying $16 million, with the new owners privately agreeing to run pro-MAGA public-service ads — over concerns discovery would lead to questions about the editing of the Biden interview that ran in October 2023, months before the former president dropped out of the race over questions about his stamina and mental agility.
CBS isn’t looking for much from the ombudsman, at least that is how it now appears. Sources told me the work load would amount to about a day a month...

I’ll do it, but only if I can work from home.
Years ago there was an Ombudsman at a major newspaper (possibly Wall St Journal?) who was hired to keep the paper honest and point out where the paper got things wrong. The paper eventually fired him because he kept pointing out where the paper got things wrong. They didn’t like being embarrassed.
I might be interested. But only if I get to work remotely. I don’t want to be anywhere near those CBS commies.
Oh, and I like fresh popcorn. CBS will have to throw in a popcorn maker, too.
In the circles the elites run in, a quarter million for one day a month is chump change. For the rest of us, it seems extravagant, but that is a mistake on our part, as our betters would quickly remind us.
I’m all in.
I’d be willing to do it so long as I don’t have to move. For that kind of cash,I could easily afford to fly to NYC once per month.
And once the interviews are over, they will hire Carville.
