"He's wrong not because he misidentified the problem, but because he misidentified Weiss's solution. At the Jewish Leadership Conference earlier this week, Weiss laid out her vision as CBS News's new editor-in-chief: make the editorial process visible. Let viewers see the debates the reasoning, the friction, the values that shape coverage before it airs. Stop hiding perspective behind institutional neutrality."
"Darcy, who covered media for CNN before launching his independent Status newsletter last year, watched the same clip and saw something entirely different. He wrote that Weiss wants to position CBS News to appeal to viewers on both the center-right and center-left, and he treated her reference to a Dana LoeschAlan Dershowitz debate as evidence of a balancing act between political camps. Then came his critique: Weiss framed this concept as something fresh and new."
The proposal calls for making the editorial process visible so viewers can observe the debates, reasoning, friction, and values that shape coverage before it airs. The aim is to stop hiding perspective behind institutional neutrality and to serve the roughly 75 percent of Americans who avoid extremes and value respectful disagreement. Critics interpreted the approach as a recycled both-sides formula meant to appeal to center-right and center-left audiences, noting that applying it to Donald Trump would risk platforming dishonest pundits and misinformation-amplifying commentators, thereby undermining good-faith engagement and journalistic responsibility.
