CBS, home to venerable institutions like "60 Minutes" and "Face the Nation," is a legacy, mainstream broadcast journalism outlet. Weiss, meanwhile, built her career as a contrarian columnist at The New York Times before stepping away in a highly publicized resignation over what she described as ideological groupthink. She soon launched The Free Press, an outlet that rails against the establishment with commentary that skews conservative. The idea that she might soon run one of America's most traditional broadcast news operations seemed unfathomable.
