"The idea CBS would hire Liz Cheney's flack who has worked to jail President Trump and make it impossible for anybody who supported the president to get hired is insanity. What the hell is Bari Weiss thinking? - White House official to Axios"
"The newest hire at CBS News has blown up the goodwill it has worked so hard to earn with the Trump administration. - Josh Fiallo, The Daily Beast"
"White House officials are outraged over the hiring of Jeremy Adler, who previously worked at the Republican super PAC America Rising and was a regional press secretary on now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio's 2016 presidential campaign, and served as deputy chief of staff to Liz Cheney from 2019 to 2023."
CBS News, acquired by David Ellison's Paramount and led by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, has faced expectations of favorable Trump coverage due to Ellison's relationship with the president. However, the network hired Jeremy Adler, a communications executive who previously served as deputy chief of staff and senior communications adviser to former Rep. Liz Cheney from 2019 to 2023. Cheney was a vocal Trump critic and helped lead the Congressional investigation into January 6. White House officials expressed strong disapproval, with one official questioning Weiss's decision and characterizing the hire as problematic. Adler has Republican credentials, including work at the America Rising super PAC and on Marco Rubio's 2016 campaign, but his Cheney connection triggered White House outrage.
