Part 4/12:
The proposed arrangement involves Weiss stepping into a significant role at CBS News—a division of the media empire acquired by Ellison—where she would help guide editorial direction. Sources suggest Weiss would be tasked with shaping the news division's trajectory, potentially fitting into a strategic plan that aligns with Ellison’s own political priorities, particularly around Israel.
It's worth noting that Weiss’s views are explicitly pro-Israel and anti-woke, a stance that—while not universally shared—resonates with certain factions within her new potential employer. The deal's political undertones raise concerns about how her influence might tilt the narrative at an established, yet historically insular, American news giant.
