Bari Weiss remains firmly supported by Paramount leadership despite ongoing challenges at CBS News, sources say. Facing scrutiny over declining ratings for the “CBS Evening News” and reported conflicts with journalists at “60 Minutes,” Weiss has not lost favor with the network’s top executives.

Insiders confirm that Weiss’s position is secure, with Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison and his father Larry Ellison—who provide financial backing—expressing confidence in her leadership. “She’s not going anywhere,” one source remarked, emphasizing that the Ellisons hold her in high regard.

The controversies surrounding Weiss’s stewardship have attracted considerable media attention, prompting Paramount to issue a statement affirming her role. A spokesperson reiterated, “Bari has the full support of Paramount and David Ellison as the editorial leader overseeing CBS News and 60 Minutes,” and characterized any reports questioning her status as inaccurate.

The period has been marked by internal upheaval and ratings difficulties at CBS News. While some have linked these challenges to Weiss’s management style and interactions with the “60 Minutes” team, the network’s ownership maintains its backing amid the turbulent environment.

As CBS News seeks to stabilize its programming and address the ratings decline, Weiss continues to lead the division with the endorsement of its top financiers, underscoring the resilience of her position during a critical moment for the network.
