Trump fluiffer-slash-fangirl Bari Weiss is pissed at Anderson Cooper not openly sobbing and thanking her on exit [View all]

According to Status, Weiss was “furious” after seeing Cooper’s attack on her tenure at CBS News. Sources said Weiss was not given advance notice of Cooper’s comments and was “effectively blindsided” when she saw them.

“The 42-year-old editor was also not especially pleased by Cooper using the CBS News platform to take a thinly veiled swipe at her,” Status’ Oliver Darcy wrote. “And it must have especially hurt after Weiss personally made overtures to Cooper with the aim of giving him a larger presence at the network, only for the star anchor to turn her down.”

The departure of Cooper, CBS News’ biggest star, was one of the clearest indications of how much the network has changed since Weiss was parachuted in as editor-in-chief by Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison.
