Bari Weiss Faces Backlash at CBS News

0:00It's April 24th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is entertainment and celebrity news today, AI powered and star driven A vanity fair, deep dive just dropped on Barry Weiss, the new editor-in-chief at CBS News, who's hitting major roadblocks trying to swing the evening News toward the right. The spotlight's on anchor Tony Ducupio and his bumpy start, with inside his blaming a lot of the chaos on Weiss herself Her big push to snag a star anchor backfired hard She reportedly hit up every name in the business, spooking them all and showing she didn't get how deals really go down In the end Ducupio was pretty much the last guy standing Staffers are venting frustration over her fuzzy ideology that's leaving everyone guessing her playbook One producer even caught her messing up a script right before airtime leaving Ducupio's stumbling on a jumble teleprompter They're calling her an ideologue with a made-up world view forcing the team to play therapist just to keep up

1:00It's creating real tension behind the scenes Bureship for evening news is tanking fast and with CBS's new Maga-Leaning bosses in the mix It's anyone's guess if Weiss gets the boot or more rope to pivot the ship
