While a lot has been said about CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss’ reported decisions, a portion of attention has turned to what could be her next gig. With that, it’s been alleged that Paramount CEO David Ellison could put Weiss in charge of the network. Thus far, it’s been alleged that Weiss would bring sweeping change to CNN if she were tasked with leading the network. Following his departure from the network, Stelter returned in 2024, and he’s now serving as an analyst and writes for the RS newsletter in addition to making on-air appearances. Former employees of CNN have also spoken out against Bari Weiss, including Jim Acosta, who said he didn’t want Weiss to “murder” the network.
