The venerable CBS Evening News is getting a makeover that will debut at 6:30 p.m. EST on Monday. The news division at CBS is now run by Bari Weiss, who has made a name for herself by puncturing “woke” orthodoxies at her publication, the Free Press, and calling for media outlets to view issues through a broader lens than usual.
Tony Dokoupil, Weiss’s selection to be the new anchor of CBS Evening News, has demonstrated some curiosity and independence of thought during his nine years at CBS. In a two-minute video released by CBS last week, Dokoupil promises a new approach to news based on a blunt admission: “No one trusts mainstream media anymore.”
