I love how The Daily Beast uses "goons" and "MAGA-curious" and "MAGA-coded"! And I'm choosing to see WEISS cutting back as a portent that she is on a steroided trajectory version of Chris LICHT on his way out at CNN - so early!!!!!!!!!!

CBS Newss MAGA-curious editor-in-chief is putting her personal podcast on pause to put out fires at her new job.
Bari Weiss, the former opinion journalist installed as the head of the national news organization despite having no prior television experience, announced on Thursday that her Honestly podcast will take a break.
As you may have heard if you have an internet connection, Ive also taken on a new role, and thats as editor-in-chief of CBS News, Weiss, 41, said. Its a huge responsibility, and its an extraordinary opportunity to bring the values that drive this show, and that drive The Free Press into a much bigger arena.
So, heres the news: Honestly is taking a little bit of a pause," she added, saying that it would return in just a few short months. ....
