Bari WEISS says "the country" thinks CBS slants Left, so she wants Faux to staff it up (BAIER) [View all]

"meeting with staffers and reporters," Norah O'DONNELL? - uh, to take the slot? to improve ratings?! - DOKOUPIIL, something of a loose cannon (since that works for KRASNOV)?

BAIER is frequently tagged as being "objective" - haha, joke of the day. Distinct memory of his start as Darth Donald (ugh, "donald" ) RUMSFELD's pet boy "reporter" - doting on Darth Rums' every word of wisdom. - By the bye, has Google swallowed KRASNOV's "Department of 'WAR' " thing? The intro on the Google Search cites him as "Secretary of WAR".

‘CBS Evening News’ Shocker: Fox News’ Bret Baier Reportedly Being Eyed as New Anchor

.... As reported by Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter, Weiss has been “quietly canvassing” for a fresh face to helm the flagship show, with Baier one of the names floated for the job. However, as Darcy pointed out, Baier extended his contract with Fox News in 2023 through 2028, making an immediate move to CBS highly unlikely. ....

It was previously reported that Weiss had been meeting with staffers and reporters as she looks to shake up CBS Evening News, including the show’s former anchor, Norah O’Donnell, who hosted the program from July 2019 to January 2025. Status also reports that CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil is among the names being considered for the position. ....

Despite the changes, CBS Evening News‘ ratings have dropped since Dickerson and DuBois took over, averaging 4.1 million total viewers per episode, according to Nielsen, compared to O’Donnell’s average of 4.8 million.
