The story notes that Bari Weiss became CBS News&#8217;s editor-in-chief in October, a change that has coincided with staff turnover, 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cbs-news-saying-we-love-america-sends-jim-acosta-into-profanity-filled-freakout-2\/\" title=\"...

They came through Ellis Island. One of my great-grandparents was a maid at the Dakota Building here in Manhattan.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And these two families came together, and there I popped out, and I went to the White House and gave Donald Trump a hell of a f***ing time.
