"Just watch our show," the journalist tells one social media commenter The post Norah O’Donnell Fires Back at Bari Weiss Critics Amid ‘CBS Mornings’ Return: ‘This Is So Silly’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Norah O’Donnell responded to social media critics who expressed disappointment with her return to "CBS Mornings." She dismissed the criticism, especially directed at CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss, as "so silly." O’Donnell shared an Instagram post on Thursday announcing her return as a co-host alongside Gayle King and Nate Burleson, with new episodes scheduled to begin on Tuesday.

Several commenters, however, wished O’Donnell had left the network following Weiss’ ascension, attributing the criticism to her departure. One user remarked, "I feel Norah is too good to stay with CBS," adding, "As long as Bari Weiss and the Ellisons are in charge, bye bye." Another user wrote, "Really disappointing that a legit journalist like Norah would choose to stay at a network that is little more than state-sponsored, fascist propaganda at this point. The money must be good."

O’Donnell retorted, "This makes no sense. Watch our show." She urged viewers to tune in, countering the negativity surrounding her return. The post "Norah O’Donnell Fires Back at Bari Weiss Critics Amid ‘CBS Mornings’ Return: ‘This Is So Silly’" was originally published on TheWrap.
