During a recent staff meeting at CBS's 60 Minutes, longtime correspondent Scott Pelley accused Bari Weiss, the network's editor in chief, of 'murdering' the iconic newsmagazine. Pelley expressed doubts about Weiss's qualifications and criticized the recent firings of key personnel, including correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega. The meeting, which included new executive producer Nick Bilton, was marked by Pelley’s confrontational remarks regarding the direction of the show. Bilton attempted to quell rumors about changing the show's format, asserting that it would remain unchanged for the time being. The tension comes amid broader layoffs and restructuring at CBS News following its acquisition by Skydance. Weiss, who lacks traditional broadcast experience, has been tasked with steering the network towards a more digital-focused strategy. Pelley’s comments reflect a deep concern about the future of 60 Minutes, a program known for its long-form journalism and high ratings, as it navigates significant leadership changes.
