CBS&#8217;s X post added the phrase to other principles like &#8220;We work for you&#8221; and &#8220;We respect you,&#8221; and anchor Tony dokoupil said he would prioritize the &#8220;average American&#8221; over elites. Dokoupil&#8217;s program debuted early Jan. 3 to cover the reported capture of Venezuelan leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and had its first scheduled broadcast on Jan. 5. The piece also notes that Bari Weiss became CBS News editor-in-chief in October, a change that coincided with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lori-lightfoot-claims-racism-and-sexism-driving-about-99-of-criticism-over-chicago-crime-wave\/\" title=\"Lori Lightfoot Claims \u2018Racism And Sexism\u2019 Driving \u2018About 99%\u2019 Of Criticism Over Chicago Crime Wave\">staff turnover<\/a>, layoffs, and shifts in political coverage.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former CNN host Jim Acosta furiously cursed over &ldquo;CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil&rdquo; stating &ldquo;We love America&rdquo; as one of its &ldquo;five simple principles&rdquo; during a Thursday episode of &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve Had It.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We make no apologies for saying so,&rdquo; the show&rsquo;s X account <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CBSEveningNews\/status\/2007186590465216586?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posted<\/a> on Jan. 2.<\/p>\n<p>Acosta <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LV0ZTabC1qU&amp;t=1277s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suggested<\/a> on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLa2mr0CgSHfhgyDNxenIMeAA6zpCKSduo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">show<\/a>&nbsp;that the statement should go without saying and used variations of the F-word five times in under one minute.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Get the f*** out of here.
