EXCLUSIVE: The new CBS News editor-in-chief has chartered a private plane for the team, made last-minute logistical changes and fired off Bari Pitches. Weiss is once again accused of creating behind-the-scenes turmoil with her decision-making ahead of CBS Evening News latest reboot
.... According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, Weiss is planning on chartering a private plane to fly the team to each location for the Live From America tour this month, taking Dokoupil and CBS Evening News executive producer Kim Harvey on the flights. ....
And if her security detail is such a huge concern, why is she going? She could watch from the control room or on an actual TV like everyone else, the source added. Instead CBS News has to foot the bill for her five security guards, private jet, and more guards with heavy weapons. Does she not understand how much journalism could be made with the money were instead spending on perks for her?
As Weiss has continued to propose last-minute changes to the logistics for the Live From America tour for the show, which has included her own pitches and demands for location changes, staffers on the show have grown increasingly concerned that the relaunch will be a car crash. The plummeting morale on the show, according to sources, has landed at the feet of Harvey.
She is a yes person that is not just drinking the Bari Kool-Aid, but like injecting it in her veins, because that's how she survives, one network insider noted. ....

It's her statue/bust at "The University of Austin" - a "free speech" outlet stocked with wingnuts (some, anti-free speech)

(76,960 posts)since she is the editor/executive, her role was not to inject herself as moderator but to assign somebody from the readily available professional on-air talent to do that (even if the whole town hall thing is for politicians, not for the KIRKs).

(9,672 posts)She's a shameless opportunist & a charlatan who contributes nothing to the production. Eventually she'll be fired for incompetence & wasting money & resources, because none of this ego-tripping will help CBS's ratings. It can't happen quickly enough.

(76,960 posts)Her big news discovery will be that they are forgiving KRASNOV and will reignite with the Cuban Exiles just in time for the election. KRASNOV has already floated the fools' gold of "reimbursing" the Venezuelan Exiles- because he's so about paying - cough cough.
