News Summary:

On June 26, 2026, Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss was reportedly considering a high-profile interview with The New York Times to address the backlash against her leadership of CBS News, which critics describe as a "MAGA-flavored overhaul" and the "gutting" of 60 Minutes. Previously, on June 24, veteran news anchor Scott Pelley, a 51-time Emmy winner, signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) following his ousting from 60 Minutes and CBS News earlier that month. His departure followed an alleged confrontation with new executive producer Nick Bilton under Weiss’s tenure. The network has faced mixed responses to changes implemented by Weiss, with former employees, including Pelley, accusing the brand of not allowing editorial autonomy. Earlier in June, CBS Mornings was on track for its "worst-rated June ever" after Pelley’s firing, which occurred shortly after he publicly accused Weiss of "murdering" the flagship news program and lacking qualifications during an editorial meeting.
