YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this segment of Dumpster Fire, Host Bridget Phetasy unpacks the $150 million bombshell that has the media world losing its mind: Bari Weiss just became editor-in-chief of CBS News after Paramount bought The Free Press. From being pushed out of the New York Times to running a major television network, Bridget explores the most satisfying revenge arc in journalism history. She dives into why CBS staff is reportedly freaking out with nothing but throwing up emojis, how Weiss became a master at riding the cultural zeitgeist, and whether O'Sullivan's Law means this whole thing is doomed to go left-wing anyway. Plus, she asks the real question: if CBS offered us $150 million, would we sell out too? Absolutely yes.
