Tony Dokoupil has made a bold promise to viewers just days before he takes over as lead anchor of the CBS Evening News on Monday (January 5).
In a video shared on the CBS Evening News X account, the former CBS Mornings co-host said, “A lot has changed since the first person sat in this chair. But for me, the biggest difference is people do not trust us like they used to. And it’s not just us. It’s all of legacy media.”
