| 0:00.0 | Well, we told you recently that CBS News got an ombudsman. Now they may have actually gotten an editor, like a real one. |
| 0:07.7 | Hi, I'm Scott Ott with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green. This episode of Right Angles brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com. |
| 0:13.1 | And gentlemen, Barry Weiss, who made a big stink when she left the New York Times and basically said that she was, because of her ideology, was being harassed at the New York Times and basically said that she was, because of her ideology, was being harassed |
| 0:23.9 | at the New York Times, started her own media organization called the Free Press, has just sold |
| 0:30.6 | that organization to CBS, which is currently owned by, what's Ellison's name? Paramount. Paramount |
