About this episode
The episode discusses the recent turmoil at 60 Minutes, including the firing of Scott Pelley and allegations of editorial interference.
A dramatic shakeup of 60 Minutes under CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss culminated this week in the firing of longtime correspondent Scott Pelley. He, and some other employees who have recently left, have accused management of editorial interference in an effort to curry favor with the Trump administration (claims CBS denies). So is this a long overdue shakeup of an aging medium, or a sign of corporate media meddling? And what does it mean for the rest of the content we consume on TV? --- Guest: Brian Stelter, CNN Chief Media Analyst Host: David Rind Producer: Paola Ortiz Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo By: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP/File Learn more about your ad choices.
