A group of former CBS News staffers are circulating an open letter urging Paramount chief David Ellison to “send a message” to CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss after she spiked a 60 Minutes segment on the infamous CECOT prison at the last minute, according to a copy of the memo obtained by The Independent.
The New York Post was the first to report on the petition and email sent to other “prominent journalists,” noting that the letter will be published on January 3.
