A reporter who worked on CBS News’ flagship program 60 Minutes for 30 seasons has accused President Trump of orchestrating the destruction of one of American journalism’s most storied institutions.
On Thursday, MAGA-friendly CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss purged three of the show’s senior women in a single day.
Executive producer Tanya Simon, who has worked on the show for 30 years, was axed and is being replaced by a man with no television news experience. Correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi—who publicly clashed with Weiss last year over a segment pulled for fear it would irritate the Trump administration—and Cecilia Vega, the award-winning first Latina correspondent in the show’s history, were also fired.
