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
