What the CBS News shake-up means for the media landscape

Paramount announced it is acquiring The Free Press, the independent news and commentary website founded in 2021 by Bari Weiss. As part of the deal, Weiss will also take a new role at CBS News as editor-in-chief. Weiss describes herself as a centrist and is known for pushing back against what she calls “woke” orthodoxy in mainstream media. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Oliver Darcy.
