Tony Dokoupil's Bold Promise: A New Era for CBS Evening News?

Tony Dokoupil, the new face of CBS Evening News, has big plans. He wants to make the news more honest and open. Dokoupil thinks people don't trust the news like they used to. He says the news often misses the mark. It's not just CBS. All big news groups have this problem. They focus too much on experts and not enough on regular folks. Dokoupil knows what it's like to feel this way. He's been there too. He's seen the news not match what he sees in his own life. He wants to change that. He wants to ask the tough questions. But not everyone is convinced. Some people think CBS is just trying to make a comeback. They think Dokoupil is just saying what Bari Weiss wants him to say. Weiss is the boss at CBS News now. She's the one who hired Dokoupil.Dokoupil says he's not just repeating what others say. He's a journalist. He knows how to write. He's not afraid to stand by his words. He says he'll be more honest than even the famous Walter Cronkite. But some people are still not sure. They think CBS is just trying to please its new owners. They think the news will still be biased. They want to see real change. Dokoupil says he's up for the challenge. He wants to prove them wrong. CBS News has also released some new rules for their coverage. One of them is that they love America. They think America's values make it the best country. But some people think this is just a way to make the news more patriotic. They think it's a way to make people feel good about America.
