COLUMBIA BROADCASTING STRUGGLE SESSION CONCLUDES: CBS News has picked Tony Dokoupil as ‘CBS Evening News’ anchor: source.

According to the London Independent, their fellow lefties across the big pond at CBS are not happy: CBS News staff grouse over ‘mediocre’ Tony Dokoupil getting ‘Evening News’ gig: ‘It’s an insult.’

Many staffers at CBS News are not thrilled with editor-in-chief Bari Weiss tapping Tony Dokoupil as the next anchor of the network’s flagship nightly news broadcast, describing the CBS Mornings host as a “mediocre straight white man” who only got the job because his views align with Weiss’ pro-Israel stance.

“It’s an insult to the storied news giants who came before him,” one CBS News reporter told The Independent.

Well, I certainly hope so, given how in thrall to the institutional left those “giants” were for about 70 years or so.
