New management and CBS anchor. Hopefully the news there will be more balanced. It’s driving the leftists crazy. Another network headed to the center.
When the new CBS Evening News kicks off on Monday, we promise to live by these five simple principles – from our very first show on the road, to our first broadcast on the new set in New York, and every one after that.
1. We work for you.
That means you come first. Not our advertisers. Not politicians. Not corporate interests, including the corporate owners of CBS.
2. We report on the world as it is.
We’ll be honest and direct with you. That means no weasel words or padded landings. We’ll tell you what we know, when we know it. We’ll update our reporting when we uncover new facts. And we’ll admit when we get it wrong.
3. We respect you.
We believe that our fellow Americans are smart and discerning. It's our job to present you with the fullest picture—and the strongest voices on all sides of an issue. We trust you to make up your own minds, and to make the decisions that are best for you, your families and your communities.
4. We love America. And we make no apologies for saying so.
Our foundational values of liberty, equality and the rule of law make us the last best hope on Earth. We also believe in Franklin’s famous line about America as a republic—if we can keep it. We aim to do our part every night: One way to think about our show is as a daily conversation about exactly where we are as a country and where we are going.
5. We respect tradition, but we also believe in the future.
We embrace the tools that allow us to reach you where you are. Some of you will watch this show on linear television. Others will increasingly watch it on social media. What we can guarantee is that the tools will continue to change–but some things never will. One of those things is honest journalism.
