Former 60 Minutes Reporter Alleges CBS Pushed Unverified Claims Under Bari Weiss

Former 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega says CBS News chief Bari Weiss pressed her team to include claims that couldn’t be verified, including alleged protests against undercover ICE agents and a disputed moment at a Minneapolis press conference, and even a double‑sourced jab at Trump’s Iran conflict. Vega, who discussed the allegations at a National Association of Hispanic Journalists event, says changes began with the network’s new leadership and that she was fired after pushing back; the remarks reference an audio recording obtained by Oliver Darcy’s Status.
