CBS is under intense scrutiny after a shelved 60 Minutes investigation triggered a full-scale newsroom and public backlash. The controversy deepened when a Canadian affiliate accidentally aired the original segment, sparking questions about transparency, decision-making, and who ultimately controls the editorial direction at one of America’s biggest news networks. At the center of the storm is CBS News Chief Bari Weiss, who is now pushing a sweeping overhaul of the network’s editorial standards and workflows. According to internal reporting, Weiss is preparing a streamlined masthead designed to tighten oversight of politically sensitive or high-risk stories. WATCH 

After a year-long legal battle, Trump returned to CBS’s “60 Minutes”, but not without controversy. What was a 90-minute recorded interview was edited down to just 28 minutes for the network’s Sunday broadcast, reigniting debate over media transparency and editorial fairness. The full transcript, released by CBS online, offers a broader picture of Trump’s exchange with Norah O’Donnell. The 2024 lawsuit, filed by Trump over alleged “misrepresentation and malicious editing,” was settled earlier this year with CBS agreeing to greater editorial disclosure in high-profile interviews.
