Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.
Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.
In a remarkable reshuffle of CBS News’ decades-old management structure, Weiss will report directly to Paramount Skydance Chief Executive David Ellison as she helps set the editorial direction at the Tiffany Network’s third-place news division, a source close to the situation said.

number 3 wants to be number 1
Why is this huge?
Weiss may not be a conservative but she is miles ahead of anyone in charge of CBS News with respect to objectivism and straiightforward ness.
Being just more of a traditional liberal with some common sense will be like dropping a bomb on the woke See BS Newsroom. Think of Bill Maher being put in charge...
THIS A LIAR
I have a suggestion for your new direction: STOP LYING!
No more making up National Guard memos. No more slicing and reassembling interviews like they are magazine letters in a hostage note. No more claiming a war is lost because of a surprise attack (thanks for demoralizing the country, Walter).
We’ll see. She leans left but she is a truth-seeker, not an ideologue propagandist.
On the other hand... she’s yet another sexual deviant. I’m so tired of the pervert corps 24/7/52 in our cultural face.
How so?
Cool, I guess. I know nothing about her.. maybe she’s ok.
To be honest I’m not looking for improvement - I’d rather the fake news keep hiring clowns, keep failing and disappear.
“How so?”
She is from planet Lesbos.
Lezbo. IIRC Bari and her live-in entertain that popular fantasy that they are “married”.
Hey CBS, try reporting the news this time.
Ask her 'wife'.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
I want Dan Rather back.
