Bari Weiss, the editor-in-chief at Trump-friendly CBS News, is causing major tensions inside the network’s flagship program, prompting one star to consider her future on the show, according to a report.
Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl is said to be irate at how Weiss “upstaged” her by booking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an interview, only to hand it to CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett to conduct, according to Status.
Garrett is not a 60 Minutes correspondent, and Stahl has spent months attempting to secure an interview with Netanyahu for the magazine show herself. After learning that Weiss had booked Netanyahu and handed it over to Garrett, there was a feeling that the CBS News boss had “effectively gone around” Stahl and the 60 Minutes team to secure the high-profile sit-down.
