CBS News Chief Bari Weiss Faces Uphill Battle to Tame Partisan Politics
Bari Weiss faces an uphill battle to reform CBS News after the network refuses to give prominent coverage to a growing scandal in Virginia, a task she was appointed to undertake during her first week on the job.

Bari Weiss faces an uphill battle to reshape CBS News after the network continues to ignore a growing scandal in Virginia, a move seen as emblematic of the network's old habits and refusal to tackle partisan issues. Weiss has been tasked with leading the network into a modern, post-partisan era, but her efforts are being undermined by CBS News' decision to bury coverage of the scandal. The network's reluctance to address the controversy is expected to hinder Weiss' efforts to establish a more neutral and balanced reporting style. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Weiss can successfully reform the network's approach to politics.
