New US CBS News boss and Israel fanatic Bari Weiss has removed the channel’s London bureau chief Claire Day for not being sufficiently pro-Israel. Day had clashed with Weiss over her coverage of Israel’s Gaza genocide and its US-backed war on Iran.

Like a ‘Hamas cell’

Weiss was installed to run CBS, despite a lack of experience, by its new Zionist owners – apparently because of her commitment to Israel. She promptly appointed or promoted pro-Israel presenters and staff. The excuse for the move on Day was a complaint from a freelance, evidently pro-Israel London cameraman that Day was running the bureau like a “Hamas cell”. Day was cleared of any bias but removed anyway.

As one insider told US press:

For Bari and Tom to discard her because she failed some undefined purity test is appalling.

Weiss has replaced Day with Shayndi Raice, a former Wall Street Journal Middle East correspondent based in Israel. Raice reportedly has no prior television or large-scale management experience. She takes up the post from 11 May 2026.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
