"CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss has scheduled an all-staff meeting for late Tuesday morning at which she intends to announce significant cuts and the strategic path she wants the troubled news division to take. In her brief tenure, Weiss has alienated much of the staff of 60 Minutes, the crown jewel of the news division, sought to reinvent the CBS Evening News, and questioned whether her own journalists have been fair or worthy of Americans' trust in the past."
"Weiss is planning to tell her newsroom Tuesday that she intends to hire approximately 18 paid commentators and that she only wants top-flight performers committed to her approach to stick around. The details above are affirmed by three people inside CBS News with direct knowledge of the broad strokes of her plans. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about internal network matters."
An all-staff meeting is scheduled for late Tuesday morning where major cuts and a strategic path for the news division will be announced. Weiss has alienated much of the 60 Minutes staff, sought to reinvent the CBS Evening News, and questioned whether journalists have been fair or worthy of Americans' trust. She plans to hire approximately 18 paid commentators and wants only top performers aligned with her approach to remain. Details are affirmed by insiders who spoke anonymously. Some journalists welcome her, while others object to her leadership and editorial choices. Critics allege ties to network owners allied with President Trump; Weiss has rejected those claims.
