Headline: Daily Beast, 4/24/2026
Vanity Fair reports that while Dokoupil was recording his message complaining about the media, he was standing in the middle of the CBS newsroom, and Weiss was just out of the camera’s shot, feeding him lines.

The bombshell report details other instances of Weiss working behind the scenes as it relates to several of Dokoupil’s other missteps during his first few weeks anchoring the program.
Just before his first broadcast, Weiss personally stepped in to rewrite some of the script for the teleprompter—a highly unusual move for a TV executive at her level. Her edits, according to one CBS producer, were made to paint President Donald Trump’s foreign policy in a better light.
But Weiss, who had no experience in television news before assuming her role at CBS, messed up her rewrite, the producer said.
“Of course, she writes it in the wrong place,” the producer told Vanity Fair. [emphasis added]
