MAGA-Coded CBS Boss Kills America’s Most Treasured Show | Bari Weiss said axing the network’s 100-year-old program was needed.

This defines “the shit floats to the top.”

>Bari Weiss, the editor-in-chief at the now Trump-friendly CBS News, has killed the network’s storied radio division. >CBS News Radio will be shuttered entirely, effective May 22. The service provided radio coverage to 700 local affiliates across the country, and went back nearly 100 years. >The network’s signature broadcast World News Roundup was the longest-running newscast in the U.S. For many years, CBS Evening News, including Norah O’Donnell and Jeff Glor, would deliver afternoon news updates on the radio show. >Weiss and CBS President Tom Cibrowski called the decision “necessary.” >“A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service. We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion,” they wrote in a memo to CBS Radio staff. >“The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio,” they added. >Weiss’s axing of the radio program comes as she announced six percent of the company would be laid off on Friday.

She's doing a terrible job so far. Wonder if someone hired her to do all the dirty work so they can fire her later and blame everything on her.

You lost me at “Bari Weiss”. So did CBS.

And just where do you think those “challenging economic realities” are coming from?!? GFC!

I still don’t understand the whole concept of a MAGA lesbian.

This a****** again

The people in here shitting on the headline is absolutely wild. It was broadcasting the news for nearly 100 years. One of the very first to so on radio. It was “treasured” to an entire generation. At the end of the day Bari Weiss is dismantling CBS so it falls in line with MAGA propaganda. Focusing on a single word in a headline is pedantic & unproductive. 

If we get this country back to some semblance of normal, she should be a media pariah outside of conservative circlejerks like Newsmax. She is such a giant piece of shit.

Pittsburgh is ashamed of her. She should be ashamed of herself. It’s gross that someone who was given education and acceptance by communities and institutions born of the belief that accepting everyone is the right thing to do, now uses her free will to amplify the voices of those who are hateful and intolerant toward so many. Ah, well. Tokens do get spent. She’ll learn and suffer, just as all tokens eventually do.

I’m calling BS. Just what do you suppose it costs for a news gathering operation to spit out a radio news report? No need for cameras, lighting, make-up or even a studio. Just take the news that CBS News is supposedly already gathering and say it into a microphone, digitally record it, then send the product to affiliate stations for a fee.

Here’s the thing. CBS will shut down then CNN. There’s only going to be 2 news organizations. Just like George Carlin said, “The Illusion of choice”

Bari Weiss is human garbage

Bari Weiss, novice editor-in-chief as of January, has already seen top talent leave the network, and the controversial pulling of a 60 Minutes segment critical of Donald Trump’s deportation policies. Viewership has fallen under 4 million. Weiss suggested that disgruntled staff quit if they were unhappy with the network’s new MAGA friendly image.    100-year-old profitable network killed in less than 6 months.

Is anyone else over things being called “___-coded?”

This is the anti-trans gay lady right?

Boycott CBS.I will never watch this channel again.

Boycott CBS entirely. Even survivor cuz Mark Burnett who has all the video tapes of Trump making jokes and comments on women that would have lost him his nomination let alone the Presidency. F Burnett. I’ll catch up on any of my fave shows years or decades from now when this whole political shitshow ceases.

Wow, Bari Weiss is bad at this job.

“MAGA-Coded” just admit she’s f****** MAGA you p**** ass bitches

What a shame they want to do for CBS what they did with Twitter... Private equity buys up liberal media outlets imagining that now that means they call the tune... This has been the dream of conservatives for decades /

They just destroy things. That’s what they do. They’re so angry for some reason.

One step closer to REICH

MAGA is a bunch of looting, pillaging, vandalizing, liquidating assholes. All of them.

This is part of the layoffs happening today, in which 15% of the workforce at CBS News is being shutdown. This is also three days after employees at their streaming division, CBS News 24/7, walked out over contract negotiations stalling and held a protest outside the broadcast center in NYC. So now Cbs is having surprise layoffs to take revenge.

They sure are helping with that ‘Death To America’ thing, aren’t they. First ‘Voice of America’ (even though I saw the headlines about hiring employees back), and now they are dismantling CBS News. Free press, 1st amendment, voting rights - where will it end?

Ok but please leave CBS Sunday Morning alone

She's so bad at her job, it has to be on purpose to tank a formerly reputable institution. Ellison is insane.

She’s a POS and a great example of the corporate jack ass elite. They are ruining the economy and civic discourse

When you realize that it is MAGAs goal to destroy and close all other news organizations and bastions of free thinking and will - it all makes sense.

MAGA logic "let's just not report the news and maybe we'll be able to stay in power"

Mainstream news is dead, find some independent journalists you like and support them. Only way through this.

Let’s be honest — while CBS News was a storied media channel with great journalism, I really don’t want to see it become a propaganda machine which is all Weiss and the owner wants. So I’d rather they kill it than turn it into a propaganda outlet under the name CBS News. And you know they are going to do one or the other with all their media…

She seems like the kind of angry, demented person who wants everyone to suffer.

Only needed because their recent choices (Bari Weiss?) have driven off viewers.

CBS spends $10,000/day on Bari’s personal security team alone

It seems a country has infiltrated American media to propagandize its political views.

She is such an unbelievable hack. An absolute slobbering sycophant for white men. Deeply pathetic.

“America’s most treasured show” and they don’t even name it because they know that no one has even heard of the show.

I hate Bari Weiss as much as anyone but let’s not pretend like *World News Roundup* was “America’s most treasured show,” that’s total clickbait bullshit.

"maga-coded" good lord, what a stupid word.

Maybe everyone tunes out of the NCAA Tournament that’s on right now.

This was the only CBS product that I regularly consume. Nice going.

Jesus Christ the America we grew up in has been erased.

She definitely a DEI hire … it’s only good use for them of course lmao

lol all these maga people are just literal scum of the earth

Bari Weiss is just a handmaiden to power and a low rent version of Kara Swisher, who is a remarkable journalist. Another mouthpiece for the ruilling class.

Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now controls the past Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now?

So dumb. CBS will be as worthless as MySpace when this is all done and the audience will migrate elsewhere.

She’s gonna burn CBS to the ground. She continues to overpay Gayle King to read a teleprompter. They ruined CBS Saturday morning firing Jeff Glor, Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller and changing the format from storytelling to CBS promos, product infomercials and taped interviews. Killing hourly news updates for tons of radio stations is insanity. I’m sorry, but it can’t cost that much for a news staff member to record a 3 minute audio clip every hour. How long before news is abandoned and we get a talking head program?

These times are that of a dismantling. The feckless and empty fools in “power” are ripping apart what this country was suppose to stand for; however, this dismantling is a double edged sword. They can try to scour and burn our freedoms and rights, but in the process they are tearing themselves down. They will fall first, for love, light, and kindness cannot and will not fail in the face of such pathetic darkness

The only time I can watch CBS is when the BUFFALO BILLS are playing !

Bari will likely be gone by the fall. While she checks every box as a right-wing voice aligned with the Ellisons’ agenda, that alone won’t offset consistently weak ratings across CBS News. Advertisers and affiliates aren’t going to tolerate sustained underperformance. At some point, the business reality takes over. The broader issue is oversaturation—there’s already a crowded market for right-leaning news, and the audience for that kind of content isn’t limitless. When supply keeps expanding but demand stays relatively fixed, something has to give.

Bari Weiss was installed by Skydance CEO David Ellison. Since her slavish devotion to Trump will hurt the company’s bottom line, I’m surprised shareholders don’t revolt! Also strange because David Ellison donated about $930k to Joe Biden’s campaign in 2024.

That's what happens when you buy someone They start doing what you tell them to do.

Who knows less about the world than this woman?

Are we great yet?

What a mindless organ sucker…

People get so petty and rotten with power

All those words and they couldn't even say what show it was?

I feel like it’s misleading that the word “radio” wasn’t used in the title here. Yeah, Bari Weiss sucks, and you could argue that this was a bad business decision, but as a non-expert, I don’t have a hard time buying the suggestion that the radio news division really unprofitable. It’s something I could imagine someone without Weiss’s political views doing, anyway.

Glad I canceled my Paramount Plus. CBS-Conservative Broadcasting Service

"Coded"? That term only works for fiction.

I had no idea CBS still did radio. How big was their listener base?

clearing room for more crack pots from crazy pants land, to fill the radio airwaves.

This Russia levels of bullshit hahaha

Bari’s gonna have quite the downfall after the regime changes

Why must they all always have such smug looks on their faces?

Why is everyone so anti semitic we should be praising her for showing us the correct path. Our moral leaders would never steer us wrong

The intent is obvious when you realize they could have *sold off* that division, but chose to just end it.

This woman sucks. I can't imagine what horrible things her internal dialogue says about herself.

She has no idea what she’s doing

CBS is dead to me. Minus sports. Rip hbo and Star Trek, what we had was special

Bari Weiss as in Kate McKinnon’s ex girlfriend?

Barium Swallow hard to take

Bari continues to fail upward, she is the final boss of concern trolling about campus free speech. She began her career trying to get her professors fired for antisemitism, created her own right wing billionaire funded ‘university’, then fired a professor for not following her own strict ideological beliefs. She isn’t ‘MAGA-coded’ she is a right wing hack that concern trolls about ideals like free speech that she doesn’t actually believe in. She has been writing the same ‘I have to be conservative because the left has gone too far’ article for almost as long as the program.

CBS will ditch 60 Minutes and its News division next. I'm not waiting; I just removed the '4' from my TV dial. No more of that shit in my house!

These companies are probably in for a rude awakening if they think they're going to gain America's forgiveness once the orange ghoul is out of power.

Give me a f****** break. CBS Radio is "America's Most Treasured Show?" None of you have listened to CBS News on AM Radio in 20 years, if ever. You may hate Bari Weiss, but this shouldn't have anything to do with it.

F*** Bari Weiss.

The more they destroy these shows the more people will just go to YouTube and they can’t control them there

The podcast “In Bed With The Right” just did a two-part episode on Bari Weiss. Highly recommend it

Ok I get it. But the notion that their radio news show is “America’s most treasured show” is just literal BS.

And what are you Americans going to do?

I'm confused - CBS sold off CBS Radio News to Entercom in 2017? https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/entercom-cbs-radio-merger-finalized-no-2-radio-operator-8039439/ https://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/news/2017/11/17/entercom-completes-1-7-billion-cbs-radio-deal.html what radio does CBS still have that she's shutting down?

I wish people had realized what a piece of shit she was back when Mara Wilson called her out in like 2012

Try all you want maga. You will not defeat us.

Who’s her boss? Who does she serve?

She is such a pig.

Radio? Who listens to radio?

Axing Barrí Weiss and her ilk is needed.

This is only the beginning… of the end.

Challenging economics? I guess they must realize I’m not watching CBS…

Weiss is who Ellen Pao wishes she could have been

We're all going to pretend we listen to CBS radio's World News Roundup now?

"MAGA-Coded" is such a lazy term.

America's most treasured show was CBS News Radio? I'm not even sure in peak radio days, it was the "the most treasured" and that was decades ago.

In fairness I’ve never in my life listened to CBS News Radio. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before today. Calling it Americas most treasured show is a bit of a stretch. I mean… c’mon. I’ve certainly listened to news on NPR but not CBS…

OMG - there are enough legitimate disasters caused by MAGA right now - why are we clutching our pearls about a closure of a news broadcast going out on AM radio that none of has listened to in more than 30 years. Donate to NPR and move on.
