flag CBS spends $10K/day on security for new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss amid layoffs and restructuring.

flag CBS News is spending $10,000 daily on security for newly hired editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who is accompanied by eight bodyguards and travels in a convoy, amid widespread layoffs and restructuring at the network. flag The move comes as CBS cuts 100 staff, cancels digital shows, and dismantles its race and culture unit, raising questions about the expense. flag Weiss, a former New York Times writer and founder of The Free Press, joined after Paramount Skydance acquired her Substack for $150 million. flag She has no television news experience and is known for criticizing diversity initiatives and "wokeness." flag While CBS has not confirmed the security costs, the arrangement is reportedly for her safety. flag The company has not addressed the discrepancy between the high security spending and workforce reductions.
