Outlet track record
The Free Press (Opinion)
U.S. center-right
The Free Press is an online news and opinion outlet co-founded by Bari Weiss, acquired in October 2025 by Paramount Skydance for $150 million, with Weiss also becoming editor-in-chief of CBS News as part of the deal. It positions itself as a heterodox alternative to mainstream media, with coverage broadly described as anti-woke, center-right, and pro-Israel. Its posture toward the Trump administration is mixed — it has published pointed criticism of specific Trump policies while generally sharing the administration's skepticism of progressive institutions and legacy media.
