Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

CBS is slashing 6% of its staff, shuttering a century‑old radio news service, and handing buyouts to correspondents because there’s “no money” for journalism. But somehow David Ellison can magic up roughly $150 million in cash and stock to buy Bari Weiss’s Substack shop and install her as editor‑in‑chief of CBS News, complete with a billionaire‑friendly “Free Press” halo.

Weren’t the Ellison Himbos and their goon Bari Weiss supposed to save journalism for the Middle Class with all that “post‑partisan” cash? Instead, CBS is still limping along in third place while the people they claim to serve are staring at their godphones, waiting for something real. Funny how there’s always a budget for vanity deals and apparatchiks, but not for actual reporters.
