CBS News’ new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, is ready to put her stamp on the network as she eyes potential candidates to take over CBS Evening News, including Fox News anchor Bret Baier, according to recent reports.

As reported by Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter, Weiss has been “quietly canvassing” for a fresh face to helm the flagship show, with Baier one of the names floated for the job. However, as Darcy pointed out, Baier extended his contract with Fox News in 2023 through 2028, making an immediate move to CBS highly unlikely.
