FLOP SWEAT UPDATE: Dokoupil "trusts you" to watch his MAGAt "news" show and "decide for yourself." [View all]

At the end of his Tuesday program, which featured a 13-minute interview with President Donald Trump at a Ford factory that was drowned out by machinery, the anchor made a forced appeal to viewers.

“You may not agree with everything you hear on this broadcast, but we trust you to listen, and we trust you to decide for yourself,” Dokoupil said.

He took a deep breath before signing off with his closing line, “And that’s another day in America.”

Dokoupil was given the anchor seat by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, an anti-woke opinion journalist who was installed in the job by CBS’ new owner, David Ellison, a Trump-friendly billionaire nepo-baby.
