About this episode

Dylan and Julia discuss the recent changes at CBS News, focusing on the appointment of Nick Bilton and the implications for '60 Minutes'.

Dylan and Julia get right down to brass tacks with the latest shocks in the Bari Weiss–CBS News psychodrama: the firing of Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, and the stunning appointment of Nick Bilton—a magazine journalist without TV news experience—to replace Tanya Simon as executive producer. Then they turn to the challenges of managing a news program, the friction between staff and new leadership at ‘60 Minutes,’ and whether Bari and Bilton will save or kill the half-century-old franchise.
