Bari Weiss may be losing control of CBS News. According to Puck News today, Paramount-Skydance is in informal talks to strip her of day-to-day control over 60 Minutes, CBS Evening News, and CBS Mornings. CNN CEO Mark Thompson is being considered to take over. David Ellison met with him in recent days. Five months ago, Weiss killed Sharyn Alfonsi’s 60 Minutes piece on CECOT — the El Salvador prison where the Trump administration sends deportees. Alfonsi’s email to staffers: “It is factually correct. Pulling it now is not an editorial decision. It is a political one.” Weiss reportedly threatened to sue Alfonsi over the dispute. Yesterday Anderson Cooper left 60 Minutes. He had been on Weiss’s short list to anchor the Evening News. He turned the anchor job down. Then he declined to renew his 60 Minutes contract. Paramount’s official statement today: “Bari has the full support of Paramount and David Ellison. Reports suggesting otherwise are inaccurate.” Under the proposed restructure, Weiss wouldn’t be fired. She’d keep “broad editorial influence.” She’d just lose the daily TV control. The face changes. The CECOT story stays buried.
