Bari Weiss, Tony Dokoupil, and the pieces of CBS News they speak for are somewhat obsessed with telling you that they don't expect your trust, but they intend to earn it. Dokoupil when he stepped into the CBS Evening News anchor role earlier this month. Weiss reiterated this yesterday during her all-hands meeting with the CBS News staff, wherein she also promised those of us at home scoops, scoops, and more scoops .

Leavitt approached Dokoupil after he asked his last question of the president on Wednesday, The Times reported.

On Tuesday, after a months-long internal debate at the network over how to address transgender people in its coverage and the terminology associated with them, Tom Burke, senior director of standards and practices at CBS News, issued a memo to staff about the change, reports. Effective immediately, the news division "will use the term biological sex at birth" with "no quotes needed."

Some CBS News employees expressed concern after the network cited two anonymous US officials on Wednesday to report that the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding to the torso after the incident. CBS initially published the account about officer Jonathan Ross on X, formerly Twitter. About 30 minutes later, the network followed up with another post, containing a link to an article by two correspondents that similarly cited two US officials briefed on his medical condition.

It's possible Weiss had legitimate editorial concerns about a "60 Minutes" segment on the Trump administration's use of El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. CBS pulled the segment abruptly before it was scheduled to air on Sunday evening. News organizations do periodically delay or spike stories. But the reported details around this decision make it hard to take the explanation entirely at face value.

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss poached ABC News reporter Matt Gutman on Friday, months after his on-air comments about Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin triggered backlash from many on the right. Weiss was previously rumored to be eying Gutman for the role of CBS Evening News anchor. The storied show's two co-anchors Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson both announced their resignations in recent months.

The paradigm has completely changed in news, and we have so much opinion that the truth doesn't hold value anymore. And what we end up doing is we, as consumers, trying to find the truthwe can't find good old-fashioned facts. And it distresses me so terribly. CBS is a whole different organization than I had worked for. CBS has now been taken over, thanks to greedy owners, Shari Redstone partnering with David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son.

On Thursday, Livesay was aboard the papal plane for a trip to Turkey. In a video posted online, Livesay explained his plan to give the Pope a special bat that had been in his family's possession for years. The bat, he revealed, once belonged to star second baseman Nellie Fox.

Yes, the president lied and blustered and then lied again. But the abiding impression conveyed by the session was the fact that it was a perfect view of the way CBS News is circling the drain. Remember when the network caved to the president to the tune of $16 million rather than fight a preposterous case regarding CBS having edited an interview with Kamala Harris?
