Paramount Close to Buying Bari Weiss’ The Free Press: It’s happening! David Ellison is on the brink of purchasing Bari Weiss’ The Free Press and installing Weiss in a prominent role at CBS News. Oliver and Jon break down why this is disastrous, highlight The Free Press’ lack of real journalism, and explain why this is ultimately a politically driven acquisition.
Media Ignoring Trump’s Health?: Photos showing bruises on Trump’s hands and swelling around his ankles have raised alarm bells—for everyone except the journalists who should be covering the president’s health. Oliver and Jon question the lack of reporting and explain how this silence will inevitably fuel conspiracy theories.
