US Edition1/3: CBS Weekend News
Tony Dokoupil begins as CBS Evening News anchor two days early amid U.S. military action in Venezuela and a pledge to prioritize average Americans over elites, CBS said.
- On Saturday, January 3, Tony Dokoupil, new CBS Evening News anchor, debuted two days early from the San Francisco studio to cover U.S. military strikes in Venezuela announced by President Donald Trump.
- Earlier this week, CBS News posted Dokoupil's mission-statement video outlining his editorial priorities, where he said legacy media often `missed the story` by favoring elites over average Americans.
- Responding on Instagram, Tony Dokoupil denied outside authorship, writing `Nope, I wrote it.` after former CBS News correspondent Don Dahler speculated Bari Weiss scripted his message.
- CBS's editorial shifts have prompted heightened scrutiny as the network unveiled five simple principles on Friday, including the pledge `We love America`, while Bari Weiss's newsroom changes and a held 60 Minutes segment increased attention.
- Paramount Skydance and its ties to CBS have become a focal point, as critics pointed to corporate owners and noted the reported $150 million spent on Bari Weiss's The Free Press.
