wrong on weiss. already won. she has outperformed expectations, and certainly talent, with the freepress payoff.

Completely agree. This is just wishful thinking. The author is unhappy with what's happening at CBS, and consoles himself by concocting a story in which Bari Weiss is also unhappy (or is going to be unhappy).

If you want to compare what's happening at CBS to The Sopranos' bust-out, then Bari Weiss is not Davey Scatino in that analogy. She's Silvio Dante. She's one of the group who's doing the busting. She someone who wasn't at the store back when it was healthy - she's the one who was brought in to manage the bust-out.

She's never going to be sad about this. She wholeheartedly agrees with the idea that CBS News was too ideologically bent towards the left and that it makes good business sense to move it away from that. She's a true believer in the project, not a tragic victim. She got to go from being an online columnist to the editor-in-chief of one of the largest news organizations in the world, and every night she gets to sleep on a huge pile of money - even if she ultimately finds she's bitten off more than she can chew because she just doesn't have the skillset to run a big broadcast news organization, I bet she never regrets for a moment that she took a chance on trying.
