BARI'S MAGA BLOODBATH AT CBS: Mass Firings, More To Come

[turbinetree]

And now, she's trying to hire Scott Jennings as the evening news anchor? Sure, that'll build credibility!

By Susie Madrak — October 30, 2025

Let's watch this slow-motion horror as Bari Weiss continues the MAGAfication of the once-proud CBS News! Via the Daily Beast:

The new boss of CBS News, anti-woke opinion journalist Bari Weiss, axed a series of its shows Wednesday and fired dozens of staff.

Weiss, who was named editor-in-chief of the network when CBS’s new owner David Ellison bought her Free Press website, told staff it was an “enormously difficult day.” The wider Paramount company was warned by Ellison to expect widespread firings.

1. Bari Weiss is an odious person.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. I would not want to be on a first name basis w Weiss, unlike the OP's title. . . nt

[dalton99a]

2. Bari Weiss is making CBS The Conservative Broadcasting System

[tanyev]

7. I don't see that attracting any new viewers.

Moderate and liberal viewers will go elsewhere, and the viewers she's looking for will stay loyal to FOX, OANN or whatever else they have made their home.

[S/V Loner]

13. I don't think attracting new viewers...

is what this is all about. I think this is all about controlling the flow of information to help pave the way for the Techno-authoritarian takeover of the Government which is well on its way.

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Bingo.

[mountain grammy]

20. Yes, I agree..

Seems strange for a gay, Jewish woman to be leading the charge. Guess she's not a student of history.

I predict she will eventually be replaced by a white, male, Christian.. preferably a pedophile..

[dixiegrrrrl]

25. You are 100% correct.

It is becoming obvious that we are in a fascist takeover.
Very grateful that Rachel Maddow is freely speaking about it.

[LiberalArkie]

27. It has been ongoing since the 1933 Wall Street Putsch or Business Plot

It never stopped.

[PatSeg]

17. Yes, republicans

have lots of right-wing radio and television. They certainly don't need another, plus they'll probably never trust CBS because it is seen as mainstream and on the liberal side.

[Montauk6]

24. The Christian Bari Symbiosis, more like

[Jbraybarten]

3. And it never gets mentioned that she has absolutely zero experience in anything related to network news or journalism.

[31st Street Bridge]

5. She's a total disaster

Nothing is worse than a fully blended mix of ego and incompetence.
Hard to believe she's a Jewish lesbian.

[NCDem47]

9. Well, if there's any hope...

She'll flame out. CBS News has been in the crapper for decades now (save for 60 Minutes). They've brought so many in to turn it around and they've failed. I guess this Hail Mary to reshape into a FOX News or government propganda is what the owners want to do at the moment. MAGAs are so locked in on RW outlets, hard to imagine they'll start tuning in to CBS for morning and nightly news. Look for CBS News streaming platforms and owned and operated affiliates to start pushing dreck. I'm sure there will be cross-polination on live events and sports too. Somhow worm into entertainment programming.

36. Welcome to DU!

[Jbraybarten]

39. thank you!

[dalton99a]

8. +1

[moniss]

15. From everything I can find she didn't

even take Communications in college. Her BA is in history. No journalism classes, likely nothing in philosophy. Doesn't appear to be well rounded academically. A very telling point about people like this is their claim to fame in their earlier careers lists "culture" as their main area of endeavor. If one is working in the subject we would expect a substantial academic background in Sociology/Anthropology etc. but as usual we don't see it here.

As with so many today such as the Joe Rogan type etc. they have no actual background academically in what they shoot their mouth off about. When I see that word "culture" as the areas on which an author of articles, blogs or host of podcasts is focusing I cringe because it means nothing more than some drunk on a bar stool at the local tavern. Maybe even less.

[Shipwack]

29. Not even a buried lede... nt

[mdbl]

4. I've written off CBS a year ago

Don't even turn it on anymore. I might watch a 60 minute reruns on youtube once in a while. I wonder how long they'll let those stay up.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

6. Maybe Weissenheimer should do the news herself,

and show us radical leftists how the Evening news should be imparted with proper right-wing GOPaganda. If she's too busy, maybe she could get Benjamin Netanyahu to fill in, if he's met his death quota for the week.

[Borogove]

10. A good reason to stop watching CBS.

[Mr.Bee]

11. Replace the 'C' with a 'P'

The solution is simple; replace the 'C' in CBS to a 'P;
PBS. There, so much better!

[Ritabert]

12. I gave up all mainstream media long ago

The only thing I watched on CBS was "Jeopardy" and I can get that elsewhere. The rest of their lineup stinks

[mwmisses4289]

34. Except for local weather, I don't watch any of them any more.

Stopped watching when the news started becoming more like entertainment tonight: sound bites with little if any follow up, commercial breaks that were longer than the news bites, and expanded sports that lasted longer than the rest (not sports fan, so having a sports segment that was 10-15 minutes long was a sign of the local news going downhill fast).
Worse, most of the shows were those idiotic, scripted, badly edited "reality" shows.
Not sure i will go back. I prefer to make handcrafted cards or read anyway.

[Ritabert]

37. Totally agree.

[Grim Chieftain]

16. Except for Colbert, we boycott CBS

CBS and CNN are Faux News lite and not allowed in this house.

Edit to add: Well, we do allow sports. Some things are sacred.

[fargone]

18. My CBS ration is down to NFL and March Madness

[Moostache]

21. I don't even allow them that much...

I stream the NFL and have given up on March Madness as well.

We collectively need to start planning for communications and capabilities once they (the powers that behind P2025 and the current abomination) decide to cut off the internet as well.

We are going to need a local-based network that can communicate to others either clandestinely in a regulated and controlled internet or simply work with older technologies to maintain communication capabilities. It is coming. Doubting it won't make it not happen.

[ananda]

19. CBS News hasn't been proud for a good while.

Not since they fired Dan Rather.

Period.

[bromeando]

22. CBS

I know longer watch this channel.

[miyazaki]

26. She could have been a hero. Now she's a zero. nt

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

28. Those mealy mouthed "journalists" who eagerly bashed

President Biden and VP Harris f*cked around and found out. We warned them.

[Initech]

32. Now they'll be replaced with fascist ass kissing bootlickers.

The way Trump and his fucking goons are destroying everything that ACTUALLY made America great is insane. They all need stiff prison sentences.

[Initech]

30. Fuck Bari Weiss! May she rot in the hottest of hells!

And fuck MAGA too!

[Initech]

33. 60 Minutes had a fluff piece on Jared Kushner last week. It was North Korea level propaganda.

[gulliver]

38. The last one I watched was on older people and health

It was excellent.

[Crowman2009]

35. Note to Bari: the Faux news audience you're trying to win over had written off broadcast media for over two decades now.

They're in their own bubble and they'll never leave. No matter how much you rebrand into some horrible MAGA shite, they'll still think CBS is liberal media in league with Satan. So enjoy your upcoming failure you Likud bootlicker!

[snowybirdie]

40. Besides football

We only watch Sunday morning. Its a nice low key tv magazine on early Sunday morning. Jane Pauley still entertains. No politics for now.

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. Scott Jennings as an anchor?
