Top CBS News star QUITS without explanation as new anti-woke boss Bari Weiss begins to clean house

by

CBS Evening News anchor John Dickerson has dramatically quit his role on the struggling show – and not offered any explanation for his departure.

The 57-year-old announced his exit on Instagram Monday, just nine months after he began hosting the flagship broadcast with co-anchor Maurice DuBois.

Dickerson wrote: ‘Local news: At the end of this year, I will leave CBS, sixteen years after I sat in as Face the Nation anchor for the first time.

‘I am extremely grateful for all that CBS gave me – the work, the audience’s attention and the honor of being a part of the network’s history – and I am grateful for my dear colleagues who’ve made me a better journalist and a better human. I will miss you.’

There was no mention of a new job in the farewell post.

Dickerson joined CBS News in 2009 and was handed the network’s most prestigious job earlier this year. Having him and DuBois co-host Evening News was seen as a bold experiment.

The pairing – who replaced Norah O’Donnell – has been a huge ratings flop and it is unclear whether Dickerson was fired. He will host his final broadcast in December.

Former New York Times journalist Bari Weiss was appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News earlier this month.
