CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is reportedly keen on poaching conservative commentator Scott Jennings from CNN.
The two met at the Tiffany Network’s New York headquarters last week, according to the news site Semafor.
The new CBS News boss’ reported overture to Jennings comes during a time of flux at the network.
Newly hired CBS News boss Bari Weiss is reportedly keen on poaching conservative commentator Scott Jennings from CNN. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The Post reported on Monday that John Dickerson, co-anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” is leaving the network at the end of the year.
Dickerson, who will continue to co-anchor the nightly newscast with Maurice DuBois until his departure, is set to exit as the entire news division at CBS braces for a round of painful job cuts.

Jennings is must see t.v. on CNN....
I’ve never seen the word “poach” used so many times in one article. Now I’m ready to make breakfast!
.....or shoot an elephant.................
That too!
She would be very smart to do so.
Edward Murrow must be turning in his grave as to what CBS News turned into. Yeah, Murrow was a bit of a leftie—but he knew what real Nazis were
Nice pay day for Jennings. CBS news room is going to go nuts.
This is the equivalent of Jefferson Davis changing commanding officers in the Army of Northern Virginia in February 1865 or Kodak changing its management team in 2011. TV news is dead except for an aging contingent of liberals who still watch the alphabet networks. That demographic will be all but gone by 2040.
Leave Greg Kelly alone.
Jennings would be a good add to CBS.
Icing on the cake. Now when will they fire Gayle and Nate?
Beware of this asshat’s stealing conservative people from other news networks. He can turn around and fire their ass in a heartbeat, and then they have nothing. I wouldn’t trust that, that isn’t why he’s doing it to begin with. Why isn’t he tapping Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly, people who have left network news and moved on their own online shows, and he’s only going after people who currently work for other networks?
Bari Weiss is a woman...................
I thought she was looking at Bret Baier but Jennings would be as good if not better.
“...only going after people who currently work for other networks?”
They are the competition...................
Bret just signed a new contract. I doubt he will leave Fox. He’s not going anywhere...............
It doesn't matter. He's still sucking the conservative pundits from other networks, and he can fire them at any time. There was an article the other day that he wants Brett Baier, who isn't really all that great anyway. Brit Hume mentored Baier. I think Britt clamped onto him after his only son Sandy, who was the same age as Brett, committed suicide. Baier became his surrogate son in a way. I haven't watched any news programming on any platform since 2008 when Obama was selected, so it doesn't matter who they steal. I'm just looking at the motives of Bari Weiss.
Bill Melugin and Kevin Corke are my choice of up and coming.
