Trouble is afoot at another legacy US media outlet, CBS News. In July of last year, tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally Larry Ellison and his Hollywood producer son, David, took over Paramount, which oversees CBS News. The former New York Times columnist and, more recently, founder of anti-woke blog the Free Press, Bari Weiss, was parachuted in to run CBS News. She promptly ran into trouble, as she took on veterans of a channel that produces such storied programmes as 60 Minutes, and tried to justify editorial decisions that were seen as slanted in favour of the Trump administration. Weiss is now also expected to make cuts to the newsroom.
