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.

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?

Shari Redstone expressed skepticism about Trump's lawsuit against CBS News, highlighting that while many of his claims seemed exaggerated, she shares concerns about perceived biases in the network's coverage.

We take immense pride in CBS News' legacy of impactful journalism and look forward to continuing to foster a newsroom culture where journalists are empowered, trusted, and equipped to do their best work."
