It's possible Weiss had legitimate editorial concerns about a "60 Minutes" segment on the Trump administration's use of El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. CBS pulled the segment abruptly before it was scheduled to air on Sunday evening. News organizations do periodically delay or spike stories. But the reported details around this decision make it hard to take the explanation entirely at face value.

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss poached ABC News reporter Matt Gutman on Friday, months after his on-air comments about Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin triggered backlash from many on the right. Weiss was previously rumored to be eying Gutman for the role of CBS Evening News anchor. The storied show's two co-anchors Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson both announced their resignations in recent months.

The paradigm has completely changed in news, and we have so much opinion that the truth doesn't hold value anymore. And what we end up doing is we, as consumers, trying to find the truthwe can't find good old-fashioned facts. And it distresses me so terribly. CBS is a whole different organization than I had worked for. CBS has now been taken over, thanks to greedy owners, Shari Redstone partnering with David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son.

On Thursday, Livesay was aboard the papal plane for a trip to Turkey. In a video posted online, Livesay explained his plan to give the Pope a special bat that had been in his family's possession for years. The bat, he revealed, once belonged to star second baseman Nellie Fox.

Yes, the president lied and blustered and then lied again. But the abiding impression conveyed by the session was the fact that it was a perfect view of the way CBS News is circling the drain. Remember when the network caved to the president to the tune of $16 million rather than fight a preposterous case regarding CBS having edited an interview with Kamala Harris?

The above-average Atlantic Ocean temperatures, made worse by climate change, helped Melissa rapidly intensify into a category 5 storm.

The White House released audio of Trump's press gaggle on Sunday, during which he praised Larry and David Ellison, the father-son duo that now owns Paramount, CBS's parent company. Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, is a close ally of Trump and is taking part in the U.S.-backed takeover of TikTok, a deal brokered by the Trump administration. He's doing pretty well, huh? So who's going to be the head anchor at CBS? Trump quipped at one point during the gaggle.

"I am confident her entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision will invigorate CBS News," said David Ellison, who took over this summer as the corporate leader overseeing the network when his company, Skydance, purchased Paramount. "This move is part of Paramount's bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects - directly and passionately - to audiences around the world."
