Bari Weiss could be taking over the editorial leadership of another news network.
Paramount has begun preliminary conversations with several top media executives about a business-side counterpart to Weiss, the CBS News editor-in-chief, as the company awaits regulatory proval of its proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, two sources familiar with the matter told Axios.
"The search implies that if Paramount Skydance's deal with Warner Bros. Discovery goes through, Weiss would oversee all news editorial across both CBS News and CNN," Axios reported. "Her potential counterpart would manage business operations across both companies."
Among the candidates under consideration are NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde, CNN Worldwide CEO Mark Thompson and former NBC News president Noah Oppenheim. Paramount had also weighed Ben Sherwood, CEO of the Daily Beast and former ABC News president, and David Rhodes, former CBS News president and current Sky News executive chairman, according to a source familiar with the search.
One candidate faces a procedural hurdle. Because Paramount is still awaiting regulatory clearance to acquire WBD, company executives are barred from holding conversations with any WBD personnel — which would include Thompson.
Currently, CBS News president Tom Cibrowski serves alongside Weiss, reporting to George Cheeks, chair of TV media at Paramount. Weiss reports directly to Paramount chairman and CEO David Ellison.
The role being sought would fill a void left by former CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon, who oversaw all business operations before resigning last year ahead of Skydance's merger with Paramount. No direct replacement was ever named.
The search comes amid turbulence surrounding CBS News' flagship program "60 Minutes," though a source close to the process disputed recent reports suggesting Weiss' authority could be curtailed.
"The Paramount brass loves Bari Weiss," the source said. "She has the full confidence of David Ellison, who believes Bari has done a fantastic job as editor-in-chief."

Paramount Seeks Business Executive to Help Bari Weiss at CBS News

Seeking: Business executive to help manage one of nation’s best-known news brands. Must enjoy long hours, a fluid work schedule — and an editorial chief with predilection for generating controversy.
Paramount Skydance has been on the hunt for a business executive who can work with Bari Weiss, the editor in chief of CBS News, who is facing a restive staff and a hot public spotlight since ousting the senior leadership of 60 Minutes in late May, along with three of its correspondents.
Four people familiar with some aspects of the discussions say they have been going on for weeks, and one of these people says Weiss has been involved with them. The new executive, if hired, would not likely enjoy any editorial or creative control greater than Weiss, two of these people say, which has been a turn off for some people who have met for discussions.
Paramount and CBS News declined to make executives available for comment. Puck and Axios previously reported aspects of these talks.
More to come…

By Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON, June 9 () – An oyster farmer and political newcomer besieged by questions about ⁠his ⁠sexting practices. A Republican congresswoman who was years ago ⁠branded "disloyal" and "nasty" by President Donald Trump.
These are two of the story lines we are watching on Tuesday as primary voters go ​to the polls in Maine, South Carolina, Nevada and North Dakota.
Graham Platner will likely be the winner of Maine's U.S. Senate Democratic primary, even though his own party has the jitters over ‌a New York Times report quoting former girlfriends saying ‌he at times behaved in ways they described as unsettling.
Meanwhile, in the South Carolina primary for governor, Representative Nancy Mace could be the latest casualty of Trump's efforts to topple ⁠fellow Republican officeholders after ⁠she demanded the release of the government's Jeffrey Epstein files.
THE MAINE EVENT
Democrats had high hopes of cturing a ​U.S. Senate seat from Republicans in Maine, where five-term Senator Susan Collins is running for reelection at a time when voters are soured by high consumer prices and the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
Platner, a former combat Marine, built momentum on a pitch as a man of the people that resonated with moderates and progressives, drew substantial campaign funding and led Democratic Governor Janet Mills to suspend her ​primary bid.
Now, the married Platner is fighting off reports he sent sexually explicit texts to multiple women last year. Platner, 41, has ologized for the behavior and ⁠said ⁠he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and ⁠depression following combat duty in Iraq ​and Afghanistan.
The big question: Does any of this matter, considering that Trump himself has thrived politically despite successive controversies over his alleged extramarital activities including ​a videote in which he is heard boasting ⁠of grabbing women's genitals. The answer could determine whether Democrats can cture majority control of the Senate.
If Platner cannot put the controversy to rest, he could be facing intra-party pressure to drop out of the race by July 13, the deadline for putting a replacement on the November ballot.
GOLDEN MOMENT FOR REPUBLICANS?
Representative Jared Golden, one of the most moderate Democrats in the U.S. Congress, is retiring and Republicans can taste victory in the race for his replacement.
Former Republican Governor Paul LePage is running for the seat in a district that Trump won in 2024 ⁠and he has Trump's "complete and total endorsement" as the president likes to say.
Three Democrats peared to be locked in a tight race ⁠for their party's nomination. This race could help define whether Republicans hold onto their narrow U.S. House majority.
ANOTHER TRUMP PRIMARY TARGET
Already in this year's primary elections Trump-backed candidates have defeated Republican Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, John Cornyn of Texas and Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
Will Representative Nancy Mace lose out too as she seeks the Republican nomination for governor? That is looking more and more likely following Trump's late May endorsement of South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, who is running on an "America First" platform.
A crowded field could result in a June 23 runoff between the top two contenders. The Cook Political Report has raised the prospect of Mace failing to make the cut.
The Republican primary winner is expected to also win the November general election as it has been nearly three decades since a Democrat has been elected governor in this Republican-leaning state.
DEMOCRATS' NEVADA GAMBLE
If Democrats are to win control of the House of Representatives in November ⁠they need to hang on to Nevada's 3rd congressional district, a Las Vegas-area seat now held by Democrat Susie Lee.
Trump narrowly won the district in 2024, but Lee also won her race by nearly 7 percentage points and the seat is one of 13 that Trump won that are currently held by Democrats.
Lee is seeking renomination against cardiologist James Lally, a self-funded Republican-turned-Democrat who has infused his campaign with $1 million.
Republicans have a four-way primary, led by three largely ​self-funded candidates: Trump-endorsed video game composer Marty O'Donnell, neurosurgeon Aury Nagy and former U.S. Ambassador to Iceland Jeff Gunter. The fourth candidate ​is businesswoman Tera Anderson.

By Jason Lange and Nolan D. McCaskill
WASHINGTON, June 9 () – Few Americans would abandon their party's candidate ⁠over ⁠controversies such as Democrat Graham Platner's Nazi-linked tattoo in Maine ⁠or Republican Ken Paxton's fraud indictment in Texas, according to a new /Ipsos poll, highlighting deep partisan divides that make winning ​paramount.
Two-thirds of party-aligned respondents said they sometimes have to vote for a candidate they don't like just to stop the other party from winning power, according to the six-day poll completed on Monday.
That principle will ‌be put to the test in a Maine primary ‌election on Tuesday, when Democratic oyster farmer Platner hopes to become a candidate for a Senate seat seen as crucial to Democrats' hopes of winning a majority in that chamber in November.
In ⁠a nationwide poll, just ⁠17% of Democrats familiar with Platner said his tattoo of a Nazi-style skull-and-crossbones would stop them from voting for ​him if they could vote in Maine's election.
The same share of Republicans nationwide said they would refrain from voting for Texas Attorney General Paxton, who was indicted a decade ago on charges of defrauding investors, if they could vote in the state's Senate election in November.
Either election could help determine which party controls the Senate, where Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority. Campaigns for Platner and Paxton did not respond to requests for ​comment.
The poll gathered responses from 4,531 U.S. adults nationwide, including 546 Democrats familiar with Platner and 712 Republicans familiar with Paxton. It had a margin of error of ⁠2 ⁠percentage points for respondents overall and 4 ⁠points for Republicans and Democrats familiar ​with the two candidates.
LESSER OF TWO EVILS
Some 76% of poll respondents, including similar shares of Democrats and Republicans, said they often had to vote for the lesser ​of two evils in U.S. elections.
Platner has ologized for ⁠the chest tattoo, which he says he got while drinking with fellow Marines nearly two decades ago. He said he was unaware the tattoo's design was associated with Nazis and covered it with another tattoo last year after he launched his campaign.
The /Ipsos survey was conducted as further scrutiny fell on Platner, including reports that he exchanged sexually explicit messages with women while he was married. Platner has ologized publicly for the text messages, while calling reports about them and other past behavior politically motivated.
Despite the controversies, Platner is seen as a strong contender to oust Republican Senator Susan Collins. ⁠Platner has campaigned with a populist message that Maine has become unaffordable for working-class people, and he has won endorsements from heavyweight ⁠allies including Chuck Schumer, a moderate and the top Democrat in the Senate, and Bernie Sanders, a progressive independent U.S. senator who caucuses with Democrats.
Platner's rise reflects increased political polarization in America, with voters feeling they "just have to focus on not putting the other side in power," said Mia Costa, a Dartmouth College political scientist who studies political psychology and partisanship.
While Paxton triumphed in the state's primary election after winning President Donald Trump's endorsement, he will face a tough general election opponent in Democrat James Talarico.
After his indictment, Paxton was impeached by the Texas House, and last year his wife filed for divorce on biblical grounds. He has denied all wrongdoing and says the allegations against him are politically motivated.
INDEPENDENT FACTOR
A wildcard in both the Maine and Texas races will be the power of independent voters. Six in 10 poll respondents who described themselves as unaffiliated with either party said their vote was more likely to reflect their support of the candidate on the ballot.
The more 'normie' candidate, as some ⁠people call them, will be trying to prevail among independents by pointing to the flaws of the candidate with issues, said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.
Talarico's campaign on Monday touted the Democrat winning the endorsement of Dan Cogdell, Paxton's former defense lawyer.
Some Democrats – including U.S. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia – say Platner has followed in the footsteps of Trump, who also overcame controversy during his political ascent.
"Trump set a new standard," Warner said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "Whether ​that low standard is what we ought to proceed with, I think it's going to be again in the hands of the voters."
