They wanted him to fail': CBS staff reacts to huge loss' as John Dickerson exits
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Less than a year after taking over the anchor seat at CBS Evening News, John Dickerson revealed Monday that he was not only leaving the weeknight news broadcast within the next two months but that his time at the Tiffany Network was coming to an end after 16 years. Dickerson's departure comes as Bari Weiss, the network's new anti-woke editor-in-chief, has been openly looking to revamp CBS News' perennially third-place evening program which has seen her courting Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier and CNN mainstay Anderson Cooper to take over the telecast. His looming exit also represents the first high-profile talent exit from the network since media mogul David Ellison became parent company Paramount's chairman following this past summer's politically fraught $8 billion merger with Skydance."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech without using paywalls. Donations enable the outlet to send journalists to interview multiple sides and to produce documentaries like 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. CBS Evening News anchor John Dickerson announced he will leave the weeknight broadcast within two months after a 16-year tenure. His departure coincides with new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss seeking to revamp the program and follows Paramount's leadership and merger activity that have reshaped network dynamics.
