CBS News is dead. Paramount to buy right-wing platform 'The Free Press,' instill opinion "blogger" Bari Weiss as head of CBS News, reporting only to David Ellison only and not to the normal editorial heads or leaders.
The New York Post and The New York Times reported that Paramount, which owns CBS News, agreed to pay Weiss around $150 million for The Free Press in a mix of cash and stock. The deal has been in the works for several months, with initial estimates suggesting Paramount might purchase the outlet for as high as $250 million. #USPol #News #CBS #CBSNews #Paramount
