Paramount Network potentially discarding CBS News and assigning ownership to Bari Weiss

In the world of media, Paramount Corporation is reportedly in talks to acquire Bari Weiss' media company, The Free Press. If the deal goes through, it could signal a significant shift in direction for CBS News, with insiders suggesting that installing Weiss at the top of CBS News might be indicative of the news organisation's new compass under the proposed regime. However, the potential deal has raised concerns, with some fearing it might lead to changes at CBS News. In a related development, CBS News executives Bill Owens and CBS News chief Wendy McMahon have resigned in the run-up to the merger.

The Free Press, which started as a newsletter in 2021 and expanded into a media company by 2022, has been generating top revenue on Substack. The company, co-founded by Weiss and her spouse Nellie Bowles, hews closely to positions Weiss herself spent years charting, first at the Wall Street Journal, and then at the New York Times.
