CBS News insiders are already speculating about who will be next to exit, The New York Post reports. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Bilton, 49, addressed the \u201ctrying and difficult past few days\u201d in an email to staff, while shouting out the three remaining correspondents in an apparent effort to persuade them to stay, according to screenshots of the email posted by The New York Times\u2019 Ben Mullin. <\/p>\n<p>Bilton, who has reportedly been holding one-on-one meetings with staff after his first all-hands meeting ended in disaster, began by noting that he has been \u201cin consultation with Lesley, Bill and Jon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to praise <i>60 Minutes<\/i> before trying to allay widespread concerns about the news program\u2019s journalistic independence under him and Weiss, an anti-woke opinion journalist installed by Paramount Skydance CEO and Trump-friendly billionaire David Ellison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe foundation of 60 Minutes is its journalistic independence,\u201d Bilton wrote. \u201cWe will always pursue stories without fear or favor. We will always make the story the North Star\u2014not relationships nor politics nor anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=752\">Trump Humiliates Nepo Baby Spy Chief Amid Backlash<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it should go without saying, but l\u2019ll say it anyway: We will never be instructed by the ownership of the company on those stories,\u201d the former tech journalist added. <\/p>\n<p>Bilton has no TV experience and raised concerns that he would fundamentally change the program\u2019s format as a Sunday night weekly broadcast after pitching a \u201cnew approach\u201d in an introductory note to colleagues last Friday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSunday night works,\u201d he wrote, seemingly trying to ease those fears, before adding, \u201cI am a curious person and I love stories, and as executive producer I will shape the show writ large. I\u2019ll bat around ideas with you, I\u2019ll dive into scripts and edits with you, and I will sign off on pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded his note by lavishing his last three correspondents with praise. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLesley, Bill and Jon are core to this show\u2019s success,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThey have sat across from the most powerful people in the world and refused to blink. Audiences trust them because they have proved it, story by story, for decades. Working with them is a privilege and every journalist\u2019s dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stahl, 84, and Whitaker, 74, the show\u2019s oldest correspondents, have long been rumored to be considering retirement. Wertheim is 55 years old. <\/p>\n<p>Bilton\u2019s tone is a marked departure from his explosive termination letter to Pelley on Tuesday, after Pelley told him he would \u201cnever be welcome\u201d at <i>60 Minutes<\/i> and said that Weiss is \u201cmurdering\u201d the legendary news program during an explosive Monday staff meeting. <\/p>\n<p>In the termination letter, Bilton accused Pelley, 68, of \u201cmisconduct\u201d after the Monday morning \u201cambush,\u201d accusing the longtime correspondent of putting on a \u201cperformative display of hostility\u201d and of having no interest in \u201ccontributing to the future success\u201d of <i>60 Minutes<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=750\">Trump Wheels Out Cringe New Performers After Failed Concert<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newly installed 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton appears to be trying to win over the show\u2019s three remaining stars after a mass purge of veteran correspondents.
