Sharyn Alfonsi out at 60 Minutes after clashes with CBS

First, CBS pulled the story. Then, they pulled her contract. Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes who had been with the program since 2015, is out. CBS News let her contract expire, no effort to renew it. Her sin: reporting on the Trump regime deporting men to brutal prison in El Salvador. #Stop-CBS

At the News Emmys, Sharyn Alfonsi received a shoutout from Scott Pelley accompanied by a round of applause Hours earlier, Alfonsi publicly accused Bari Weiss’ CBS News of penalizing her for “refusing to sanitize” her reporting, as her 60 Minutes contract expired www.status.news/p/sharyn-alf...

Before Sharyn Alfonsi sent a memo in December accusing Bari Weiss of yanking her CECOT story for "political" reasons, she had privately attempted to resolve the matter with Weiss directly, @nataliekorach.bsky.social reports. Weiss never called. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/sharyn-alf...

Sharyn Alfonsi is out at @60minutes.bsky.social for standing up for editorial integrity. That's what press freedom looks like under the Ellisons — and that’s why we need to stop them from buying CNN and running the same playbook. @jimacosta.bsky.social and @karaswisher.bsky.social break it down.

Bari Weiss purged 60 Minutes on Thursday, firing EP Tanya Simon, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega after Alfonsi publicly called the suppression of her CECOT prison report "corporate censorship." Alfonsi has already retained the lawyer who won Megyn Kelly $69 million.

CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss shook up the TV-news industry’s most-watched and best-regarded property Thursday, ousting the program’s two most senior executive producers, Tanya Simon and Draggan Mihailoivich, along with correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega.

Bari Weiss, chief editor, is such a character. Firing Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega for being critical of torture in ICE Salvadoran facilities? Where is free speech? and freedom of the press? If you like, or afraid of the 🍊🤡 I can suggest a new job for you.

Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes was fired (with others) by Bari Weiss. This is the highest rated news program so it’s not about viewership. 60 Minutes is being destroyed because they didn’t want the truth to be aired. All in in service of Trump. F—- the Ellisons & f—- Bari Weiss. We deserve the truth!
