Bari Weiss Named CBS News Editor-in-Chief to 'Tame Liberal Excesses' and Boost Ratings
Bari Weiss, former New York Times journalist and founder of The Free Press, has been appointed as the new editor-in-chief at CBS News. She has been tasked by the network's new owner, David Ellison, to 'tame liberal excesses' and boost ratings. Meanwhile, John Dickerson, co-anchor of CBS Evening News, has announced his departure, and CBS is expected to make cuts in the next couple of days.
Weiss has been meeting with potential hosts for the network. She recently sat down with Fox News anchor Bret Baier to discuss hosting opportunities. Scott Jennings, a pro-Trump commentator, is also in the mix. Jennings has been courted by both CBS and the Los Angeles Times. Weiss is believed to be considering Neal Katyal as a potential successor to Dickerson at CBS Morning News. CBS Evening News has been struggling with a 14 percent drop in viewership compared to last year. Gayle King, co-host of CBS Mornings, may also be affected by the upcoming changes.
Bari Weiss' appointment at CBS News signals a shift in the network's approach. With a broad remit to 'tame liberal excesses' and boost ratings, she is expected to bring significant changes. The departure of John Dickerson and potential cuts hint at a restructuring phase at CBS News.
