Globes Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser didn’t run her controversial CBS News jibe past the division bosses, sources tell Page Six.

Glaser, 41, made a dig at the network that hosts the awards bash saying, “The award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes. CBS news: America’s newest place to see-BS-news.”

The joke was met by loud laughter from the A-list, super liberal crowd.

The comic dig on Sunday night came after a turbulent few weeks for newly installed CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who hit the headlines after killing a “60 Minutes” segment about the US sending deportees to a prison in El Salvador — causing uproar among the staff.

However, we’re told news is an separate entity to the entertainment section and Weiss is expected to shrug off the dig and “move on”.
