I predict Bari Weiss won't last long in her job. [View all]

The turmoil she has created reminds me of the turmoil at CNN before Chris Licht was fired. The outright alliance of CBS and the Trump administration in various ways (the newscast salute to Rubio, the appointment of the milquetoast Tony Dokoupil as CBS Evening News anchor who has so far been dreadful, the Erika Kirk town hall, her decision to block the broadcast of the Cecot prison scandal on "60 Minutes&quot are not good indications that she has journalism in high priority at CBS. When the network criticism continues to rise and the ratings begin to fall, I believe there will be a re-evaluation of her appointment, despite the fact billionaire David Ellison wanted her. This whole thing is starting out like Licht's doomed time at CNN did. I think it'll end the same way.
