What the CBS News shake-up means for the media landscape

Season 2025 Episode 279 | 6m 57s

Paramount announced it is acquiring The Free Press, the independent news and commentary website founded in 2021 by Bari Weiss. As part of the deal, Weiss will also take a new role at CBS News as editor-in-chief.
