This is what Bari Weiss will be remembered for destroying the legacy of CBS News.
Today CBS News announced it will cut 15% of its staff. This is as Weiss was paid $150 million by David Ellison to carry out this erasure.
Now comes the announcement that the famed and important CBS News Radio will end a 100 year run in May. They’ve told 700 radio affiliates they’re pulling the plug. Among them are WINS in NY and KNX 1070 in Los Angeles, stations I — and many others– depend on.
Gone in this disaster are names we hear everyday like Cami McCormick, Jim Cresula, Darlene Rodriguez, and Vicki Barker. All of them have day in and day out reported news from all over the world fearlessly, tirelessly, and objectively.
No more CBS News World Round Up, a comforting sound that you can rely on for breaking facts and reports.
