Ex-60 Minutes Reporter Claims CBS Pushed Political Edits Amid Leadership Shakeup
Former 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega says CBS News leadership pressed for edits that injected politics and misinformation into three reports before Bari Weiss reshaped the unit, and that she was fired without explanation; she cites attempts to add protest-violence footage, a so‑called (unverified) mayor quote about fighting ICE, a Trump–Iran war framing, and a SNAP poverty angle that aired nowhere, while CBS/Weiss defend editorial oversight and CBS declined to comment.
