  • Big Changes at CBS News

    It seems the rumours were true. Bari Weiss has been named
    Editor-in-Chief of CBS News.

    Maybe there is hope for the legacy media after all. They've left it
    rather late but maybe, just maybe, they - or at least CBS - has finally decided to do something about their ever-diminishing credibilty and
    start to restore at least a semblance of being fact-based instead of Narrative-driven nonsense based on wishful thinking.

    I don't know her work terribly well but the few videos I've seen have satisfied me that her heart seems to be in the right place. It's an
    incredible promotion: she seems to have hopped over a whole lot of
    people to get this job. It also speaks of CBS's desperation. After
    decades of the same old same old, this is a genuine game-changer (unless they've hobbled her in some way that isn't visible yet).
