CBS News is undergoing a dramatic transformation under its new Editor-in-Chief, Bari Weiss, who has initiated sweeping job cuts and a push for more balanced reporting. High-profile anchors, including Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson, have already departed, and Gayle King is expected to leave next year. Around 100 CBS News employees and 2,000 more across Paramount are set to lose their jobs as Weiss enforces a new editorial direction focused on objectivity and a wider spectrum of viewpoints. Weiss, known for her independent journalism and recent success with The Free Press, has been tasked with reversing CBS's declining viewership and restoring its reputation for fair reporting. Staff at CBS are reportedly anxious about the changes, as Weiss closely monitors content and encourages aggressive guest bookings, including figures from across the political spectrum. Her leadership marks a significant shift for the network, with more changes anticipated in the coming weeks.
