Panic at CBS as Bari Weiss eyes 'blockbuster sitdown'
"Reports that embattled CBS News head Bari Weiss is searching for a sympathetic ear among journalists for an interview to clear her name have some in the executive suites in a bit of a panic.
According to media watchdog Status, Weiss is eager to launch a media counter-offensive. She's been in talks with the New York Times' Michael Barbaro about appearing on "The Daily" podcast—a choice that reveals her strategy: find a friendly interviewer willing to let her explain away the wreckage.
As Oliver Darcy is reporting, Weiss, who counts Barbaro as "a friend and admirer," even floated his name earlier this year as a potential addition to "CBS Mornings." Now she's leveraging that relationship for what amounts to a high-stakes PR intervention."
