CBS News Appoints 'Pro-Israel Commentator' to Top Post
CBS News, a beacon of impartial journalism (allegedly), has reportedly appointed Bari Weiss, co-founder of 'The Free Press' and a self-described 'pro-Israel commentator,' as its new head. This move follows CBS's parent company, Paramount, acquiring Weiss's commentary website. It's almost as if journalistic independence is simply a branding exercise, easily traded for direct ideological alignment.
This isn't just about one individual; it's a pattern. Major media outlets continue to appoint figures known for their uncritical support of specific foreign policies, all while presenting their news as objective. One might wonder, how many executives openly champion Palestinian human rights or criticize Israeli government actions without finding themselves immediately 'canceled' or sidelined? The
silence is deafening, yet the double standard roars.
