CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss hired ABC News reporter Matt Gutman, who called Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin’s text messages with his transgender boyfriend “touching,” to become a chief correspondent.
Gutman apologized for making the remarks about the text messages, in which he described during a Sept. 16 segment that Tyler Robinson, who is alleged to have killed Kirk, expressed his love to his trans-identifying lover, Lance Twiggs. He will now leave ABC News to report for “CBS Mornings,” “CBS Evening News,” serve as a lead correspondent for “48 Hours” and contribute to “60 Minutes,” according to CBS News’ press release.
Weiss and CBS President Tom Cibrowski expressed excitement about Gutman’s upcoming role.
“Matt Gutman goes there. He brings the audience along with him to whatever story he is covering, and he approaches his work with the qualities we look for in all our journalists: fearlessness, energy and relentlessness,” Weiss said. “I cannot wait for him to get started.”
“I have worked with Matt for decades and I have seen his innate ability to take viewers into a story,” Cibrowski said. “Whether he’s on the frontlines of a conflict or the scene of a rescue mission, he has the power to connect with people in a way that informs and engages. He has a sharp news sense, an acute ability to deliver immersive storytelling and a deep appreciation of history that will be an asset to all of us.”
Gutman’s remarks about Robinson came after authorities released the text messages where the alleged assassin confessed to murdering Kirk and told Twiggs he “had enough of [Kirk’s] hatred.” After he told Twiggs of his plan to turn himself in, Robinson added, “You are all I worry about, love.”
Following his statement on-air, Gutman wrote on X that he regretted his words and added that he condemned the violence.
Gutman has covered national and international news from the ground for three decades, including the Russia-Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas wars, according to the press release. He was one of the first journalists to arrive in Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack and was on the ground when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Bari Weiss is creepy as heck.
Ugly too.
So much for Weiss changing the face of MSM.
“Ugly too.”
That’s because she’s always face-down in the carpet. :)
So some of us thought Weiss was going to fix CBS. Nope, the left has a death grip on the 3 networks they are not about to let it go.
If anyone did a five second search about her personal life, it would be clear that she wasn’t going to change a thing.
Deep dive:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bari_Weiss
“After high school, Weiss went to Israel on a Nativ gap year program, helping build a medical clinic for Bedouins in the Negev desert and studying at a feminist yeshiva and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.”
“In 2019, The Jerusalem Post named Weiss the seventh most influential Jew in the world.”
“Weiss prefers not to label her sexual orientation. She has said that although she was once married to a man, she is mostly attracted to women.”
“Since 2018, she has been in a relationship with Nellie Bowles,[98][99] a former tech reporter for The New York Times. They have since married and have two children.”
Female emotion is not where common sense lives.
Right
So much for CBS - and all the other alphabet networks for that matter - stopped watching them years ago - Fox included.
Far better sources of less biased news online.
David Ellison, a Jew, hired Bari Weiss, a Jew, who hired Matt Gutman, a Jew, and promoted Tony Dokoupi, who, coincidentally, just happens to be a Jew.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
For those who didn’t get the full implication of Bari’s Wikipedia bio—imagine someone who claims to fully believe in the Old Testament as a critical part of their identity and is a practicing lesbian—raising children with her lesbian partner.
In the old days such people were warehoused in insane asylums—not placed in charge of major television networks.
Well THAT was quick. “THIS TIME liberalism will work because we will do it right!”
Go back to the dark side Bari.
A good look at her Free Press rag would have disabused you of that notion. It was essentially the Washington Post with more favorable coverage of Israel.
But I can't get too worked up about CBS News. In fact, I think it's hilarious that Larry Ellison unloaded the massive chunk of change he did on that fossil. If all the nursing homes were to shut down, they'd have no audience at all.
He wants to be a furry ‘bottom’ if he isn’t already
Now that Bari is back to being an insider — and a powerful one — she’s back to acting like a Leftist.
Am I surprised? No, not really.
So Weiss was supposedly going to turn CBS back toward the middle? What a joke.
