"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?"
"He served as deputy chief of staff and senior communications adviser for Cheney from 2019 to 2023. He 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."
CBS News hired Adler, who previously served as deputy chief of staff and senior communications adviser to Liz Cheney from 2019 to 2023. A White House official criticized the hiring, questioning editor-in-chief Bari Weiss's judgment and expressing concern about Adler's past work against Trump supporters. Adler also worked at the Republican super PAC America Rising and as a regional press secretary on Marco Rubio's 2016 campaign. The hiring intensifies existing tensions between the White House and CBS News, following a $20 billion lawsuit filed by the president in 2024 that settled for $16 million. CBS News is undergoing leadership changes under new ownership with Weiss's recent appointment.
