Bari Weiss is literally eliminating standards at CBS. If there was a unit called "Actual Journalism" she would cut that too.
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.
