‘CBS Evening News’ co-anchor John Dickerson is leaving CBS by the end of the year, according to a source.

DIckerson will continue to co-anchor the news with Maurice DuBois until he departs, a CBS News spokesperson confirmed. The news comes as CBS News braces for a steep round of layoffs, which are expected to hit this week.

Dickerson, 57, took the co-anchor job earlier this year when then-CBS News president Wendy McMahon decided to shake up the struggling news network and oust then-anchor Norah O’Donnell.

Dickerson shared the news on Instagram on Monday morning, writing: “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.”

Dickerson is milk toast, nothing about him says he should have a high profile job.

Why does this matter? No one under 60 watches network evening news any more, and not that many over 60.

Deck chairs on the Titanic, etc.

Dickerson was a temporary placeholder. He apparently was the morning guy they put in the evening slot.

From the article: Dickerson, 57, took the co-anchor job earlier this year when then-CBS News president Wendy McMahon decided to shake up the struggling news network and oust then-anchor Norah O’Donnell.

Maurice DuBois...any relation to Black Communist, W.E.B. DuBois (1868-1963)?

I can’t say that I’ve watched CBS Evening News in 20 years or more, so I know nothing of this guy. I can only surmise Weiss really is going to shake things up because, per the photos in the article, he has that smug idiot look on his face that is the primary qualification for the anchors in the legacy media

CBS Evening News is still on the air? How pathetic must your life be that you still watch CBS Evening News?

He should have the look at failure and embarrassment. Getting lower ratings than lefty feminist NorDUH O'Donnell is is not an easy feat.

True, which makes the people who get their news from msnbc hopeless.

Names like DIckerson always make me feel when they came into the country through Ellis Island someone wrote the name down wrong, for instance this should have been Dickenson.

Looks like Bari Weiss is already starting the housecleaning, with Ellison’s son in full support. The elites are going to lose their shit when they see who they will bring in.

I looked into it. No, Maurice DuBois is not related to W.E.B. DuBois the 20th Century writer.

Off Topic!
Nor, is Maurice related to the late Janet DuBois.
Janet was most famous for three things,
A. She was an actress on the comedy show Good Times.
B. Janet wrote and performed the theme song to The Jeffersons’s
“Movin’ On Up!”
C. Janet was daughter of Big Band singer Cab Calloway.
