Ex‑60 Minutes Editor Claims CBS Bosses Pushed White House Talking Points
Former 60 Minutes managing editor Guy Campanile, fired in May along with other correspondents, says new CBS leadership pressured reporters to inject White House talking points and interfered with interviews, insisting on tougher questions. He framed the move as a defense of editorial independence amid a broader CBS News leadership shakeup led by Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, with colleagues like Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi previously speaking out.
