NEW inside CBS—

Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off.

“If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

‘What the F**k?’ CBS News Insiders Prepare for Takeover by Self-Described ‘Zionist Fanatic’

Bari Weiss is expected to be announced as editor-in-chief of CBS News, as employees worry her new role will bring a pro-Israel bias, more censorship, and lower editorial standards.

Would anyone have believed that this would happen in some European countries... as the price of the impossible... The Gaza war has revealed that the leaders in these countries receive orders from Tel Aviv... and the connection of the right-wing populist parties to Israel... is a shame, shame, shame

🔥 Question from journo Emma Macdonald:

“Are you personally perplexed by Anthony Albanese's approach to Palestine, when you and I would remember that he used to protest and hold a megaphone calling for an end to the Israeli occupation?”
