   CBS News is in an unenviable position right now: It’s the subject of   
   anonymously sourced reporting and rumor-mongering that’s sowing   
   confusion while division-wide layoffs cause pain and corporate changes   
   add to anxiety.   
      
   Many of the reported changes at CBS have not happened yet and may   
   never happen. But each story adds to the uncertainty and unease   
   in the air. The latest one is about Gayle King, with Variety   
   reporting that she is “expected to depart” her longtime TV home,   
   “CBS Mornings,” next year.   
      
   If that’s the case, it would be news to King, whose contract doesn’t   
   expire for another six months. She told TMZ on Friday morning:   
   “All I’ve been told by everybody in this building is that they want   
   me here, they like the job I’ve been doing… What I’m hearing in the   
   building is not what I’m reading in the press.”   
      
   Meanwhile, the CBS News management team is in whack-a-mole mode, trying   
   to tamp down the speculation — and probably trying to avoid any potential   
   blowback from viewers.   
      
   All the instability stems from David Ellison’s recent takeover of   
   Paramount and his decision to appoint Bari Weiss as the editor-in-chief   
   of CBS News.   
      
   Weiss, the entrepreneurial and opinionated co-founder of The   
   Free Press website, is an irresistible story to the media chattering   
   classes. People both inside and outside CBS are desperate to know   
   what she’s going to change at the storied news division.   
      
   Weiss, who has been on the job for just a few weeks, has been frustrated   
   about the leaks relating to her arrival, according to a recent New York   
   Times report.   
      
   She certainly deserves time and space to get to know CBS News and think   
   through potential changes. But just this week, there have been stories   
   about who Weiss may or may not want to keep at “60 Minutes;” who she   
   may or may not want to hire for the “CBS Evening News;” and now, what   
   might happen to the morning show.   
      
   “You know the old adage: Nobody knows anything,” a CBS source remarked,   
   pointing out that all the speculation is destabilizing in the meantime.   
      
   The news division also laid off about one hundred people earlier this   
   week, though the cuts were foreshadowed months ago, well before Weiss   
   was hired.

   Gayle King, two-faced back-stabbing piece of shit.
