Scott Pelley accuses Bari Weiss of tampering with 60 Minutes
Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss pressured 60 Minutes editors and instructed him to alter coverage, including telling him to lie for Donald Trump. Leaked audio and insider accounts described by Pelley claim Weiss pushed edits to reporting on Renee Good and steered broader editorial decisions at CBS News. Pelley warned that a deal between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery could place Weiss over news editorial across both CBS News and CNN. These allegations raise questions about corporate or political influence shaping prime-time investigative reporting and could undermine public trust in major news programs.
Before Bari Weiss slowly strangled 60 Minutes to death in front of our eyes, Scott Pelley interviewed me about the work of Bellingcat youtu.be/keQFk4z7nRI?...

You can support the work of Bellingcat here, which is needed more than ever after Trump and Musk's USAID funding cuts wrecked our entire sector for everyone in it, even if (like Bellingcat) an organisation didn't take funds from USAID www.bellingcat.com/donate/
