Dan Rather, Fired for Peddling Fake Bush Documents, Describes 'Dark Day' As CBS Hires Bari

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather criticized CBS News on Thursday for making journalist Bari Weiss its editor-in-chief, as well as acquiring her independent news outlet, “The Free Press.”
Rather, age 93, argued on his Substack page that the hiring of the anti-woke reporter, as well as CBS coming under the control of billionaire David Ellison – whose father is a friend of President Donald Trump – meant that CBS News will be catering to the Trump agenda.
“The American people will pay the price for this move, as will the journalists of CBS News who can no longer credibly serve as watchdogs because the ones they are meant to hold to account are signing their paychecks and hobnobbing with the president,” the veteran journalist wrote.
At one point, he warned, “It is a dark day in the halls of CBS News.”
CBS’ parent company, Paramount, named Weiss the editor-in-chief of CBS News on Monday following the company’s acquisition of “The Free Press” for $150 million. The move angered liberal journalists and media figures, as Weiss’ outlet has made waves for challenging DEI, gender ideology, and supporting Israel.

Bari isn't even a right winger. Her "crime" is refusing to be a fascist mouthpiece.

If Dan is against it then it has to be good for the rest of us.

If only this POS had been shot that day in Dallas instead of the guy who was trying to do what was right for the American people.
Then again, why would the government want to kill Dan Rather? He was doing their bidding even way back then.

No one gives any credence anything uttered by Dan Rather or Bari Weiss in 2025.

Bari Weiss was still into men the last time Dan Rather was relevant.

Think about it, cbs hired a liberal lesbian Jew and Dan Rather is worried she'll be too chummy with the Republican president.

zionist bari will be too chummy with israel. the last time dan rather reported anything accurately was when he was attacked on the streets of ny by a homeless guy asking, "what's the frequency, kenneth".

Of course boomer Dan is against a woman taking charge

That's a lot of projection there, Dan. Bari Weiss left the NYT because she realized their TDS kept them from being an objective news organization and there were other stories other than "Orange Man Bad!"

"Kenneth, what is the frequency?" IYKYK

I wish Bunky would enter this chat to discuss whether or not Matt Taibbi would be in the CBS limelight...If he didn't get in a spat with Elon for not posting his Racket News or was it substack---on Twitter/X?
Wasn't Bari hired by the establishment R wing with a news org-- to promote a certain non Trump primary candidate? So she isn't exactly MAGA but better than what CBS had? She is libertarian left like Matt WAS?
Am I remembering correctly, Bunky?

This is a joke, right?
Like the previous heads of the network weren't cozying up to the Dem elite for decades? Now that it's someone who leans right it's suddenly a problem?!?

It is ludicrous that they have Dan Rather on commenting on CNN MSNBC as if he is revered.
They were the watchdogs of the DNC marxism for years-is what he really means.

If they don't get their ideology 100% of the time, they pout.

Is this somewhat similar to a conservative actor in Hollywood?

I seriously did not even know that Dan rather was still alive

Thanks. I wasn't sure. Was she hired by Rs to post about DeSantis Democrats? I recall after twitterleaks she had a press org for the primaries.
Lifelong Democrats in Florida are rejecting their party's woke politics and supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis instead, according to one report from Bari Weiss' new media outlet, The Free Press (FP).
Yeah the videos within this article are anti Trump and saying DeSantis can get MAGA and rustbelt States.
