Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Former CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley has publicly called for Paramount Skydance to remove Bari Weiss as head of CBS News, arguing that her lack of television experience and belief in mainstream media bias are damaging the network's journalism. In an emotional interview with The New York Times, Pelley stated that CBS News lacks "adult supervision" and that Weiss's inexperience with the television medium is undermining the outlet's credibility and output.
