Smith Schools Hannity Over Trump\u2019s Knicks Curse: \u2018You Don\u2019t Know Sports!\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made waves when, on May 28, she fired several prominent correspondents and producers, including longtime <i>60 Minutes <\/i>reporters Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Meanwhile, executive producer Tanya Simon was replaced with tech columnist Nick Bilton, who, like Weiss, had never worked in broadcast news prior to joining CBS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The shocking move prompted <i>60 Minutes <\/i>veteran Scott Pelley to confront Weiss and Bilton, accusing Weiss of \u201cmurdering\u201d the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she\u2019s been doing exactly that,\u201d Pelley told Bilton. A day later, Bilton fired Pelley, who had worked at CBS for 37 years.<\/p>\n<p>Since that dark day, CBS staffers have taken to referring to it as \u201cBlack Thursday,\u201d according to a new report from Variety. <\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to CBS for comment.<\/p>\n<p>In the report, six former staffers discussed Weiss\u2019 impact on the network. Weiss was installed in her role as editor-in-chief by Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison after the company\u2019s acquisition of the 42-year-old\u2019s anti-woke news outlet, The Free Press, in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything she\u2019s touched has turned to s&#8211;t,\u201d former <i>60 Minutes <\/i>correspondent Steve Kroft told the outlet. \u201cEverything she\u2019s touched has gone colossally wrong. And I don\u2019t think she\u2019s shown any talent for this position. She\u2019s only fulfilling other people\u2019s agendas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kroft, who retired in 2019, added that he did not think Weiss would remain in her role for much longer.<\/p>\n<p>A former <i>60 Minutes <\/i>staffer acknowledged that the program \u201cneeded a facelift,\u201d but that the way Weiss had gone about it was disastrous.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1321\">CNN Hosts Laugh Off Tacky White House UFC Light Show<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t give a facelift with a f&#8212;&#8212; machete,\u201d they told Variety.<\/p>\n<p>Pelley expressed similar sentiments in an interview with The New York Times following his departure, going even further and accusing Weiss of tilting coverage in President Trump\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy impression at the time was that she was putting a thumb on the scale on behalf of the administration,\u201d Pelley said. \u201cConstantly looking out for the views of the president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weiss\u2019 editorial decisions since taking over the reins have drawn significant criticism from the public. In December, she shocked viewers after she abruptly canceled an episode of <i>60 Minutes, <\/i>reported by now-ousted correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, covering El Salvador\u2019s notorious CECOT prison, claiming that it \u201cneeded additional reporting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A source told Puck at the time, \u201cIt did not need additional reporting. It went through every layer of fact-checking and was reviewed by all the lawyers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In a leaked memo to her colleagues, Alfonsi, who joined <i>60 Minutes <\/i>in 2015, also defended the segment, telling them, \u201cIn my view, pulling it now\u2014after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report was eventually aired in January. In the introduction, Alfonsi told viewers, \u201cSince November, <i>60 Minutes <\/i>has made several attempts to interview key Trump administration officials on camera about our story. They declined our requests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to accept the Ridenhour Courage Prize in May, Alfonsi said, \u201cI will not linger on the internal mechanics of the dust-up at CBS that led to our CECOT story being pulled, but we have to be honest about what it represents.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t an isolated editorial argument. In my view, it was the result of a more aggressive contagion: the spread of corporate meddling and editorial fear.
