According to CBS News, an administration official told CBS News on Wednesday that Artan was denied entry based on derogatory information that included association with suspected terrorist group members.

It's good.

He can stay there.

They like him there.

It's fine.

And there were rumors that were being put out there by left wing opponents of Barry Weiss that Larry and David Ellison were very upset with Barry because of how things are going in CBS News.

That evidence is scanty, shall we say.

It turns out that Barry is now poised to oversee CNN's editorial operation because, of course, Paramount has acquired the parent company of CNN.

According to Axios, Paramount has held preliminary conversations with several candidates for a business side counterpart to CBS News editor-in-chief Barry Weiss.

The search implies that if Paramount Skydance's deal with Warner Brothers Discovery goes through, Weiss would oversee all news editorial across both CBS News and CNN.

Her potential counterpart would manage business operations across both companies.
