MAGA-Curious CBS Boss Plotting to Put Favorite Anchor on Flagship Show

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is planning to let Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil loose on the network’s 60 Minutes show as part of a major shake-up of the newsmagazine.

Weiss, who has turned CBS News into a more Trump-friendly network during her tenure, is plotting major changes to 60 Minutes by “opening it up” to the wider news division and allowing other anchors to appear beyond its usual correspondents, sources told the New York Post.

As well as adding Dokoupil—whose promotion to the evening news slot has been a gaffe-filled ratings disaster for the network—to the roster, other CBS News correspondents such as Matt Gutman are also expected to be given new roles within 60 Minutes. One of the show’s current contributing correspondents, Norah O’Donnell, is also being awarded more airtime next season.

Dokoupil’s transition to the hard-hitting, in-depth format comes after a scathing Vanity Fair article in April that cited more than 20 current and former CBS staffers and industry insiders, many of whom questioned his credentials and news sensibilities.

Another attempt at polishing a turd.
