Why CBS News Hired Cancel Culture's Biggest Grifter (ft. Michael Hobbes)

The Cancel Culture Grift Economy™ has once again rewarded Bari Weiss. Support CMD on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cancelmedaddy CBS News anointed Weiss—the former New York Times op-ed columnist turned so-called Free Press founder—as the broadcast network’s editor-in-chief. What was once a mainstream media mainstay is poised to transform into a reactionary mouthpiece. Weiss will report directly to parent company Paramount CEO David Ellison, a billionaire aligned with Donald Trump. Join Katelyn, Christine, and “Cancellation Guncle” Michael Hobbes, journalist and co-host of the popular podcasts Maintenance Phase and If Books Could Kill, to discuss how the imminent media transformation threatens free speech and rigorous journalism.
