November Surprises
CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss sought to explain her actions to “60 Minutes” staff on Wednesday, after firing correspondent Scott Pelley from the newsmagazine, the Washington Post reports.
Said Weiss: “I know I speak for myself, and I hope I speak for everyone here when I say that I’m only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect. That foundation was broken on Monday.”
