The recently merged media giant Paramount Skydance is poised to appoint Bari Weiss as the editor-in-chief of CBS News as part of a $150m (£110m) deal to buy her controversial news outlet the Free Press.

Weiss, 41, a former opinion columnist for the New York Times who dramatically quit the paper in 2020 blaming a culture of leftwing "bullying", will be unveiled in her new role as soon as tomorrow.
