That chaos and a host of other controversies under Weiss have made Kroft, a correspondent for the storied newsmagazine for 30 years, say he doesn\u2019t believe she will be around much longer. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cEverything she\u2019s touched has turned to s&#8211;t. Everything 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 he told Variety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI have a feeling that Bari will not be overseeing<i> 60 Minutes <\/i>for very much longer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He believes that Weiss and CBS owner David Ellison, the son of Trump donor billionaire Larry Ellison, do not have it in them to report critically on the Trump administration, especially as Ellison looks to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery in a multibillion-dollar deal, and will need the federal government\u2019s approval to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think once the deal gets done with Warner Bros., people will demand that she be let go or move into another position,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Kroft told the outlet he was under the impression that President Donald Trump has had it out for<i> 60 Minutes <\/i>since he sued them over claims the program deceptively edited a segment featuring former Vice President Kamala Harris. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis started as an argument between Trump and the show over the Kamala Harris piece, and the president of the United States made it very clear that he\u2019d like to see this broadcast go away,\u201d Kroft said. \u201cHe wanted to do away with it, and he\u2019s intimated that from that point on. Some of the ruthlessness is coming directly from the president as a way to influence and make sure that Bari and David Ellison fall in line.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump declined an invitation to participate in a sit-down with <i>60 Minutes <\/i>during the 2024 presidential campaign, with his campaign opposing the network\u2019s plan to fact-check him live during the interview. Paramount later agreed to pay the president $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the Harris interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Trump administration is concerned with the coverage of the Trump administration. And <i>60 Minutes<\/i> has been tough on the first and second Trump administrations and are not afraid to call them out on things, and I don\u2019t think this administration wants to tolerate it,\u201d Kroft explained. \u201cThat\u2019s why you\u2019ve seen this whole thing blow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1324\">\u201860 Minutes\u2019 Staffers Have Coined a Nickname for Brutal Day<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Weiss, who had no experience in broadcast news, was installed as editor-in-chief of the network last October after Ellison purchased her anti-woke news and opinion blog The Free Press for $150 million. <\/p>\n<p>During her time, ratings have plummeted for its signature news program, <i>CBS Evening News<\/i>, and dozens of staffers have been fired or quit due to her leadership. <\/p>\n<p>She had clashed with producers and former <i>60 Minutes<\/i> correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, whom she later fired, over her last-minute decision to shelve a segment on the conditions at CECOT, the infamous El Salvadoran mega-prison where the Trump administration sent deportees. <\/p>\n<p>Cecilia Vega, who was the first Latina to be appointed as a <i>60 Minutes <\/i>correspondent, was also fired on May 28, despite the fact that her contract didn\u2019t expire until March 2027. She had been with the program from March 2023 until May 2026. <\/p>\n<p><i>60 Minutes <\/i>executive producer Tanya Smith, who had been with the program for 25 years, was also fired. <\/p>\n<p>Anderson Cooper, who had also been a <i>60 Minutes <\/i>correspondent for 20 years, quit last month, with his final broadcast being on May 17.<\/p>\n<p>Kroft is hardly the first <i>60 Minutes<\/i> icon to raise these concerns about Weiss\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, former correspondent Scott Pelley was fired within hours of voicing concerns about the direction of<i> 60 Minutes <\/i>under Weiss. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He has since said that \u201cfalsehoods and bias\u201d in his reporting, and called her behavior \u201ccold and callous and beneath the dignity of CBS News.\u201d Pelley has also accused CBS News of attempting to \u201ccurry favor with the Trump administration,\u201d as it seeks regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Weiss, for her part, is hunkering down amidst the controversy, Status reported. She has reportedly not been seen on the newsroom floor in weeks and has remained in a sixth-floor office suite that is accessible only to executives. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1323\">Stephen A.
