Anderson Cooper Departs 60 Minutes Amid CBS News Turmoil
Anderson Cooper has left CBS's 60 Minutes, citing disillusionment with the network's shift towards more Trump administration-friendly coverage. His departure is part of a broader wave of exits at CBS News, which has seen significant staff turnover under the leadership of new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. This includes the resignation of Madeleine Carlisle, daughter of Stephen Colbert, and the firing of several veteran correspondents and producers. Cooper emphasized the importance of editorial independence in his farewell, expressing hope that 60 Minutes would maintain its integrity.
