Report: Weiss asked “60 Minutes” senior staffers why the country thinks they’re biased

Source: New York Post

“During a private meeting last week, Bari Weiss startled ’60 Minutes’ staffers by asking why Americans view the show as biased — another sign of the new CBS News chief’s aggressive approach to reshaping the network, according to a report. Weiss ‘surprised senior staff … when she asked a provocative question: Why does the country think you’re biased?’ the New York Times reported on Sunday, citing three people who attended the Midtown Manhattan session. The exchange was met with ‘stunned awkwardness,’ the paper said. The question came less than two weeks into Weiss’[s] tenure as editor in chief — and underscored the upheaval inside the nation’s most-watched newsmagazine as hundreds of CBS News employees gauge their new boss’s unorthodox style.” (10/20/25)
