Bari Weiss proposes charismatic voices for CBS News

Bari Weiss, the new CBS News editor, faced backlash for suggesting Alan Dershowitz represents the "charismatic" voices needed to revitalize the network. Weiss believes featuring passionate, good-faith disagreements between center-left and center-right figures like Dershowitz will win back viewers, aiming for "normalcy" rather than pure centrism. Critics pointed to the low viewership of a debate Weiss cited and questioned Dershowitz's appeal to younger audiences, while some supporters backed her call for transparent, pluralistic discourse.
