Bari Weiss’ appointment as editor-in-chief of CBS News triggered an online uproar Monday from liberal journalists and media figures.

Weiss, a classic liberal who famously quit The New York Times in 2020 after denouncing what she called its "illiberal environment," later launched independent media company The Free Press in 2022.

She was named editor-in-chief of CBS News Monday after Paramount announced it had acquired The Free Press for $150 million.

Weiss has been criticized by some on the cultural left for The Free Press' reporting that challenges DEI, gender ideology and media narratives against Israel in its ongoing war with Hamas.
