From last night's @semafor media newsletter: CBS News' Iran coverage shows the network's new direction under Bari Weiss, and tests the tension between Weiss' political views on Iran and maintaining traditional journalistic distance

Details from the piece: - Some CBS staff privately complained that Weiss' flame emoji tweet was inappropriate - CBS' special 10PM Saturday evening news broadcast was spearheaded by Weiss - Over the weekend, Weiss reposted a since-deleted tweet which claimed that Saudi Arabia was joining the Israeli/US attack on Iran - Weiss has been more heavily involved in Iran and defense-focused coverage than other recent storylines, staff told me. She personally booked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei last week for his first interview after Anthropic's dispute with the Pentagon
