The acquisition puts one of the country’s most traditional news institutions — the former home of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite — under the editorial guidance of a journalist who rose to fame in part by critiquing old-line media institutions that she deemed timid and untrustworthy. Ms. Weiss is also a stalwart champion of Israel, and her site frequently lambastes the perceived excesses of the so-called woke left.
Ms. Weiss, 41, has never run a TV network, and in her role will have influence over hundreds of producers, anchors and reporters around the world. She will report to David Ellison, Paramount’s chief executive, and work alongside Tom Cibrowski, the president of CBS News.

David Ellison, for anyone wondering, is indeed the son of the MAGA billionaire and second-richest man in the world, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
That explains why he’s so fucking stupid
The fact that "The Free Press" got bought is such a funny (in a bad way) sentence to me.
I can't wait for alt-right Star Trek. It'll make Mirror Universe look like kindergarten.
Captains log, star date 4596.5. We found a species that can transition between genders. It was weird so we activated a biogenic weapon on their planet.
The fans will love that.
Maybe we find out Data was a human who took too much Tylenol.
She just keeps failing upwards.
Wingnut Welfare.
That happens to people who make themselves useful to malefactors of great wealth.
Another one bites the dust
The right-leaning news station is about to embrace right-wing tabloid journalism.
Are there any news stations that are actually unbiased and honest, even if it means they will be labeled as having liberal-bias? I have to listen to actually liberal/left biased content to get full context without sugar coating things for the sake of appearing unbiased.
CBS about to pick a swim lane finally.
They're picking the fascist lane
Life in the Fasc Lane

A new era of MAGA propaganda.
