Bari Weiss, MS Now & the Sad Battle for the Last TV News Viewer (Age: 70)

Election Day had New York City’s Gen Z cheering in the streets as proud socialist Zohran Mamdani crushed the Democratic establishment (in the form of disgraced state governor-turned-flop independent candidate Andrew Cuomo) in the mayoral race. But as election results from New York, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere poured in Tuesday night, who was really watching TV? Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey examine the rising tide of “newsfluencers” trumping old-school cable news as viewers get older (average age: 70-72), MSNBC becomes MS Now, and trust in media plummets. Then, Lachlan Cartwright of buzzy media newsletter Breaker joins with to relay his scoops about new CBS News chief Bari Weiss: her beefy bodyguards, the (surprisingly!) hopping NYC election night party hosted by Bari’s The Free Press and what’s actually happening inside the halls of CBS News. Plus: Richard Rushfield on the dire state of diversity in Hollywood’s film director ranks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
