CBS News Faces Potential Overhaul as Bari Weiss Plans Changes to 60 Minutes
CBS News insiders are expressing concern over potential changes to the long-running news program 60 Minutes, as Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief, is expected to implement significant modifications. The show, which has maintained high viewership, is anticipated to undergo changes after its current season ends. While the network does not plan to alter the show's format or mission, layoffs are expected, and there is apprehension about editorial shifts. Weiss, who joined CBS News in 2025, has been involved in the booking process for major interviews and has expressed a desire to expand the 60 Minutes brand. However, her involvement has sparked fears of corporate meddling and editorial influence, particularly following the shelving of a segment critical of the Trump administration.
