The Bari Weiss era at CBS News has been a controversial one, to say the least. Ever since the former opinion and newsletter writer took over, controversies have followed. From the rocky and maligned start of Tony Dokoupil‘s tenure as CBS Evening News anchor to the shelving of the CECOT story on 60 Minutes, there’ve been a number of negative headlines to come from Weiss’ time at the top of the eye news network, and now The New Yorker has published an exposé on Weiss that details her start — dating all the way back to second grade — in journalism and meteoric rise to the top of the legacy media brand.
The article comes a day after CBS finally released its previously shelved segment about CECOT, the El Salvadorian prison that Donald Trump‘s administration has been deporting Venezuelan migrants to. In it, there are several shocking claims made about Weiss and her time at CBS News.
