CBS News Chief Eyes Cuomo for Comeback Amid Shake-Up

Bari Weiss, head of CBS News, reportedly seeks fired CNN anchor Chris Cuomo for a CBS role as part of a broader network overhaul. Cuomo, now with NewsNation after CNN fired him in 2021, has allegedly texted and even dined with Weiss, but his ongoing multi-year deal with NewsNation and his CNN firing complicate a move. Weiss is also linked to bringing Norah O'Donnell into CBS Mornings amid other shake‑ups, while Tony Dokoupil’s ratings slip and 60 Minutes undergoes changes. No formal deal has been announced.

Under Skydance’s David Ellison and Bari Weiss, CBS’s 60 Minutes has been radically remade, sidelining veteran investigative reporters in favor of anti-woke voices. Critics say the overhaul weakens the program’s public-service mission, while ex-staffers plot rival investigative projects, signaling potential threats to accountability journalism even as Ellison defends newsroom independence amid broader media-merger ambitions.

Gutman Delivers CBS Evening News Ratings Win During Dokoupil’s Vacation

Tony Dokoupil’s tenure at CBS Evening News is under scrutiny as his stand-in Matt Gutman posted a ratings win for CBS (around 4 million viewers, with 4.1 million in Gutman’s first week), a figure Dokoupil hasn’t reached since March. The boost occurs amid CBS News leadership changes and a string of on-air missteps, including a chaotic Fourth of July special, a Kanye West photo error, and visa issues during Trump’s China trip, highlighting ongoing questions about Dokoupil’s tenure and CBS’s direction.
