Megyn Kelly slams 'LESBIAN' makeover at CBS Evening News and says new anchor Tony Dokoupil is too much like Oprah

Megyn Kelly slammed the rebrand of CBS Evening News, calling it a 'lesbian' makeover and comparing the new evening anchor, Tony Dokoupil, to Oprah Winfrey.

Kelly, 55, spoke bluntly on her show today, claiming that CBS News’s choice of anchor was influenced by the fact that the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, is a lesbian.

'I figured it out. Bari is an out lesbian, and she's in a marriage to another woman, and they have kids, and so on. This is a lesbian's idea of what women want. Like, he's sweet, he's soft, this is what this is going to sell,' Kelly said.

The former Fox News anchor also went after Dokoupil today, mocking him by calling him 'T'Oprah' to suggest he is overly emotional like a View star.

'CBS Evening News is officially launched with its new anchor, “T'Oprah” Dokoupil. That's what I call him, because he's crying and constantly trying to therapize us through the news.' (snip)

The evening show is down 23% in viewers compared to the same period last year, losing nearly a quarter of its audience, Variety reported.

On his broadcast Tuesday, Dokoupil delivered a 'monologue' that sent Kelly into a spin.

'You may not agree with everything you hear on our broadcast, but we trust you to hear it, and we trust you to decide for yourselves,' the CBS anchor said about the major stories that dominated the first two weeks of 2026.

Kelly labeled him 'patronizing' and said he gave off 'Stuart Smalley vibes,' referring to the Saturday Night Live character who represents people trying too hard to sound positive instead of being genuine.

'I cannot get over how he continues to patronize the audience like... just f***ing deliver the news.

If a girl wants to go by “Tony”, she really should use an “i” instead of a “y”.

Why do women think they have to swear like sailors to be taken seriously?

Tony is the perfect metrosexual, no doubt why his leftwing activist wife is attracted to him.

down 23% from last year eh? Well that would have been a mostly left wing geezer audience back then. The only area they could pick up some eyes would be from the right side and those are mostly on Fox or elsewhere. The shrinkage continues.

From Wikipedia:

Dokoupil was born in Connecticut... Dokoupil, his mother, and his step-father Ray relocated to Maryland in 1992, shortly after his father's drug operation received greater attention from law enforcement...

Dokoupil converted to Judaism in 2008... and received a second circumcision as an adult to complete his conversion, which he wrote about for The New Republic.

Dokoupil announced on CBS Mornings that he had undergone a vasectomy, urging other men to consider it to take on the burden of birth control from their female partners.


Sounds like he should be a weatherman, not reporting other "news".

Megyn nailed it.

Kelly..claiming that CBS News’s choice of anchor was influenced by the fact that the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, is a lesbian.

Megyn Kelly was one of Bari Weiss's biggest defenders when CBS hired her.

T'Oprah is a huge wimp, but let him rise or fall according to what the viewers want. Weiss will find out soon enough.

I never, ever watch network news.

Neither Edward R. Murrow or Eric Sevareid could be reached for comment.

Weiss keeping Margaret Brennan also says something about the lesbian culture. I guess they find a nasty angry not so bright leftist female appealing.
