Description

CBS News faces backlash for pulling a sixty Minutes segment on deported Venezuelan men, citing fairness and completeness. The decision, made by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and new senior editors, is met with fury from staffers who accuse the network of censorship. The controversy unfolds as CBS prepares for Tony Dokoupils launch as evening news anchor and amid parent company Paramounts battle with Netflix. Weisss recent arrival has also sparked pushback on hires and town halls. Viewers await a revised report and how it will be handled under Weisss watch.
