Ignoring the growing ‘60 Minutes’ controversy appears to be the network’s path forward.
Discussion of the growing 60 Minutes controversy was conspicuously absent from a CBS editorial meeting on Tuesday morning.
The network’s MAGA-curious new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, who personally spiked a segment critical of the Trump administration that was set to air Sunday night, was on the call but did not address the now-viral report that a Canadian affiliate mistakenly aired.
The Washington Post and Vanity Fair reported that Weiss, 41, joined the meeting via Zoom and “waved hi” from her car but did not speak. CNN’s Brian Stelter reported that the 60 Minutes controversy was not mentioned during the meeting.
I continue to be at a loss to understand the mechanics of how enough people will effectively organize and focus their collective effort to cause change for the good. Most populist revolutions seem to end poorly, even if they succeed in displacing the incumbent regime.
