A former producer of CBS News’s 60 Minutes is interested in launching a rival current affairs show featuring journalists and production crew members who left the network now spearheaded by Bari Weiss, according to a report.
The long-running investigative news show has been in turmoil ever since Weiss was appointed editor-in-chief of CBS’s news division last year, suffering internal tensions, sliding ratings and a series of departures – notably losing anchor Scott Pelley – as the new boss tried to address its alleged liberal bias.
