Bari Weiss joined CBS News a year ago with ambitious plans but has faced criticism from staff over her management style and decision-making, particularly regarding ratings declines and controversies involving "60 Minutes." Staff claim that Weiss disregards input and does not listen to concerns raised by others at the network. However, another insider argues that Weiss actively solicits feedback during meetings and incorporates many suggestions into her work.

Story summary
A year after Bari Weiss joined CBS News, staff members are frustrated by her unwillingness to listen to differing opinions despite the network's declining ratings and controversies. Despite initial confidence in her vision, many now doubt her approach. One major controversy involved a decision that led to a significant drop in viewership for a new star anchor, while another saw Weiss overhaul "60 Minutes," resulting in further negative press and viewer loss. A source claims she pretends to listen but actually disregards others' ideas, and insiders say her boss's support is wavering due to these issues.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
