CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor is reportedly on the hot seat with his bosses over sagging ratings just six months into his tenure.
David Rhodes, CBS News president, called a meeting with Glor and his producers on Tuesday and ‘unleashed on the team’ over the broadcast losing nearly 1.5million viewers since Glor took over in December, an insider told Page Six.
The network denied the account in a statement, saying ‘the meeting as described never happened. What did happen was a discussion centered on editorial and production, not ratings, which is not unusual.’
That last statement is by CBS News, the former home of Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and Scott Pelley, led by the brother of former failed novelist, Obama middle east guru and nascent MSNBC contributor Ben Rhodes, which certainly helps to strengthen its believability, and to explain Glor’s ratings predicament.
