MAGA-Curious CBS Boss Accused of New ‘60 Minutes’ Meddling
Leigh Vogel/Getty Images for Uber, X and The Free PressInsiders have accused the MAGA-friendly editor-in-chief at CBS News of interfering in a report on a key Donald Trump ally abroad. Conservative Bari Weiss, 42, took the reins at the network last October after she was installed by Paramount Skydance’s Trump-friendly owner, nepo billionaire David Ellison, despite having never worked in television news before. Weiss has faced repeated allegations of steering CBS coverage, and in particular reports by the network’s flagship investigative show 60 Minutes, away from anything that might upset the Trump administration.Read more at The Daily Beast.
