Tess Patton / The Wrap: Bari Weiss' ‘60 Minutes’ CECOT Fiasco: CBS News EIC ‘Readily Realizes and Admits’ Missteps

Tom Durante / Mediaite: 'Let's Do the F*cking News!' The New Yorker Goes Deep on Bari Weiss's ‘Uneasy’ Start as CBS News Boss

Nick Field / @nick_field90: “She was so brilliant and charismatic, and if she started a church we all would have joined,” a person who worked with Weiss said. “And within a couple of months we all wanted to jump out a window. She was completely stubborn and couldn't take guidance.” https://www.newyorker.com/...

Elliot Kaufman / @elliotkaufman6: This profile tries to be snotty about it, but it mostly seems like Bari was proved right? Iran protests were a bigger deal than media first realized. Post-Oct 7, Israel was the target of a massive propaganda war. The Columbia prof was a crazy Jew-hater. https://www.newyorker.com/...

@scarylawyerguy: Bari Weiss held a story for weeks then buried it against the Bears/Rams game. Her rationale for not airing it in the first place - b/c she wanted the Trump Admin to speak on the record (even though they had already been asked multiple times) - never happened. C-BS news 🤡

Zaid Jilani / @zaidjilani: She's such a midwit she would of course use a neocon analogy on her own colleagues

Alex Goldman / @agoldmund: So Bari Weiss pulled that CECOT story, completely undermined the morale of the employees, insulted their ability to report, and then aired the episode without any changes. God, what an own goal

Alex Bronzini-Vender / @alexbronzini: This is stirring an emotion I don't think I've felt since I was about ten years old on Christmas Eve [image]

Eric Schultz / @ericschultz: Weiss urged staff to up their coverage of the protests unfolding in Iran, mentioning videos she'd seen online that “almost look like a movie scene.” One senior reporter with experience covering the country cautioned that some of what Weiss was citing were videos from protests

David Klion / @davidklion: The most thorough, detailed, and yes, *fair* Bari profile to date. Trust me, I've read them all. Also I'm in this one, briefly. Excellent work from @ClareMalone. https://www.newyorker.com/...

Rachel Cohen Booth / @rcobooth: from @ClareMalone's new Bari Weiss profile [image]

Jonah Allon / @jonahallon: think bowles should have also hired a crisis comms rep. this is...not the comparison you want to invoke! [image]

Adam Nayman / @brofromanother: Chef's kiss transition by Clare Malone here [image]

Will Sloan / @willsloanesq: I think Paramount and the Ellisons made a strategic error in making such a big deal of having Bari Weiss overhaul CBS. Instead of just gradually turning the station conservative, they have a famous dolt running around yelling “YES! There are BIG CHANGES! And I'M MAKING THEM!!!!”

Amanda Bell / TV Insider: 7 Most Shocking Revelations From the CBS News-Bari Weiss Report

Roy Edroso / @edroso.bsky.social: Key phrase, for me: “Privately, [Weiss] has expressed alarm at many of the Administration's actions, a person close to Weiss told me.” When you look at the entirely rightwing, MAGA effect she's had on everything she touches, this can only be taken as ass-covering. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Jay Rosen / @jayrosen.bsky.social: This is the heart of it. Both-sizing because you don't know what to do. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... [image]

@jaec.bsky.social: What CBS needs is a “de-Barification.”

Dave Infante / @dinfontay.com: “Weiss also asked the staff of ‘60 Minutes,’ the most-watched news program in the U.S., why the country thought its coverage was biased. Another person told me that Weiss had said she was pursuing a ‘de-Baathification of CBS.’” — @claremalone.bsky.social @newyorker.com

@ethangach.bsky.social: Not sure how this became conventional wisdom such that it now passes unexplained even in liberal publications www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... [image]

Nat Wilson Turner / naked capitalism: Coffee Break: Bari Weiss' CBS Not an Auspicious Beginning to Total Info Control

Clare Malone / @claremalone.bsky.social: My profile of Bari Weiss, who's remaking CBS after a lifetime of being a lightning rod for controversy. — www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona.bsky.social: On top of everything that's in that huge Bari Weiss profile today, the New Yorker confirmed my report about Bari excitedly embracing Trump in Mar-a-Lago at the conclusion of his ‘60 Minutes’ interview and kissing him on the cheek. — www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Carl Quintanilla / @carlquintanilla.bsky.social: When you're so charismatic, you need your own bodyguards at the office. 🤡 — @newyorker.com @claremalone.bsky.social — www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... [image]

Jamelle / @jamellebouie.net: very good piece which confirms that weiss is both exceptionally arrogant and totally out of her depth. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Jim Swift / @jimswift.bsky.social: Clare Malone's opus on Bari Weiss is going to be the talk of Shaker Heights (where I grew up). It's very good. — www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

@tkovach.bsky.social: This is actually the most embarrassing quote in the New Yorker piece imho — www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... [image]

Clare Malone / @claremalone: My profile of Bari Weiss, who's remaking CBS after a lifetime of being a lightning rod for controversy. https://www.newyorker.com/...

Jeremiah Johnson / @jeremiahdjohns: You can tell Bari Weiss's tenure at CBS is going great so far, because three months into the job she's already panic-hired a crisis communications team. [image]

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: The New Yorker is out with a profile of @BariWeiss, authored by @ClareMalone: https://www.newyorker.com/...

Scott Horton / @robertscotthorton.bsky.social: Clare Malone's study of the Bari Weiss hostile takeover of CBS News: solid reporting and analysis of every aspect of the matter. Superlative journalism. Everything that CBS News is not, or is no longer. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Sean Kuhn / @seankuhn.bsky.social: when your wife goes on the record to compare you to les moonves <<< — www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... [image]

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: The New Yorker profile cites “sources close to Weiss and Ellison” who say Weiss “readily realizes and admits that she was not as knowledgeable as she should have been about the timing of the marketing and promo process at ‘60 Minutes.’”

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: “She brings the sometimes chaotic energy and work ethic of a startup, but she also realizes she needs to work on having more executive discipline,” the pro-Weiss “sources” said in a quote.

Washington Post:

CBS airs 60 Minutes' CECOT segment, which Bari Weiss shelved in December as it lacked an on-camera interview with a Trump official, without such an interview — After accusations of “corporate censorship,” CBS aired a postponed “60 Minutes” segment about the CECOT prison that was largely unchanged.

CBS News: Statements of White House and Homeland Security to 60 Minutes

David Bauder / Associated Press: “60 Minutes” airing report on Trump deportations that was suddenly pulled a month ago

Brian Stelter / CNN: ‘60 Minutes’ is finally airing the shelved ‘Inside CECOT’ segment

@60minutes: “When we got there, the CECOT director was talking to us... He said, ‘Welcome to hell,’” says Luis Muñoz Pinto, who was deported to a prison in El Salvador. He says he has no criminal record and did not enter the U.S. illegally. The White House claimed it was deporting [video]

Catherine Mortensen / Newsbusters: Today's Highlights: What MRC's Media Watchdogs Are Saying

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter.bsky.social: So now the “Inside CECOT” report has aired. — But there's definitely going to be fallout at CBS. — For one thing, Alfonsi's contract is up in just a few months. — Hard to imagine she'll be staying at “60.” — Lots more in my story here:

Sean McNulty / The Ankler: ☀️SONY's 16-Month Banger Drought Continues With ‘28 Years’

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter.bsky.social: Weiss felt Alfonsi was being overly stubborn. Here's an example of what Weiss wanted: She wanted the report to address the fact that one of the deportees interviewed has two tattoos, one of which is a swastika.

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter.bsky.social: Alfonsi, according to sources, knew that media critics would compare the bootleg Canadian stream of her report to the finalized US broadcast and call out any changes. She didn't want to do anything that might lead viewers to conclude that “60 Minutes” had been compromised.

Stephen Battaglio / Los Angeles Times: ‘60 Minutes’ runs the ‘Inside CECOT’ story previously shelved by Bari Weiss

Paramount Press Express: 60 MINUTES LISTINGS FOR SUNDAY, JAN. 18

Tim Hains / RealClearPolitics: “60 Minutes” Airs Delayed “Inside CECOT” Report: “When You Get There, You Already Know You're In Hell”

Susie / @banikarim: this whole chapter ends up being a humiliating unforced error for bari. in the end there are no changes to the piece & she couldn't get anyone from the admin to go on the air proving alfonsi right. brutal.

@60minutes: President Trump expressed admiration for El Salvador's prison system, saying, “They're great facilities.” Former inmates say that inside CECOT, prisoners sleep on metal bunks with no mattresses or sheets. Inmates say they had no access to the outdoors, clean drinking water, or [video]

Jaymes / @jaymesl.bsky.social: Better late than never, I guess (also choosing to air it on what's likely to be a lower viewership night with no NFL lead-in on CBS) [embedded post]

Joe Stonor / Yahoo Finance: European Stock Markets Tumble on Trump's Tariff Threats, But Analysts Caution Against Panic

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter.bsky.social: The backstage drama came to a head on Friday and Saturday. The ultimate solution: Alfonsi taped what's known in TV as a “tag,” a new ending to the report that included the points Weiss wanted. But the original report stayed as-is, just as it was in December.

Tengrain / Mock Paper Scissors: Another Stunning Success for See-BS and Bari Weiss!

Dylan Byers / @dylanbyers: Update: “Inside CECOT” is confirmed to run tonight, there will be new reporting in Sharyn Alfonsi's intro/outro to the original piece, which remains unchanged. .... More on latest at CBS News in next edition of In The Room... https://puck.news/...

Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: So far, its seems like the same CECOT story that could've run in December (since we could watch the original after it was distributed to Canada)

@60minutes: Luis Muñoz Pinto describes the conditions upon arriving at CECOT, one of El Salvador's harshest prisons. “There was blood everywhere, screams, people crying, people who couldn't take it and were urinating and vomiting on themselves,” he says. Muñoz was seeking asylum in the [video]

Matthew Sitman / @matthewsitman: Bari has in common with MAGA a willingness, nay eagerness, to be humiliated by Trump even as you destroy your reputation for him: “Bari Weiss said she would personally book an interview, two sources told me. So ‘60 Minutes’ producers flew to DC from New York, and Alfonsi flew in

Brian Stelter / @brianstelter.bsky.social: The “Inside CECOT” report finally aired on CBS tonight. Sharyn Alfonsi recorded a new beginning and ending to incorporate the additions Bari Weiss wanted. But the report itself remains the same as it was on the day Weiss delayed it. So, here's the backstory on what happened... [image]

Jeremy Barr / @jeremymbarr: The CECOT segment was supposedly held because it didn't have the Trump admin perspective. But it sounds like the new version doesn't have it either. 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi just noted: “Since November, 60 Minutes has made several attempts to interview key Trump

Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: Sharyn Alfonsi's new intro to CECOT story notes, “Since November, ‘60 Minutes’ has made several attempts to interview key Trump administration officials on camera about our story. They declined our requests.”

CBS News' credibility, built over decades, is being used now to launder political narratives that wouldn't survive scrutiny if they came from right-wing media

Will Bunch / The Philadelphia Inquirer: The day that CBS News became literally ‘fake news’ for America

Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona.bsky.social: Anyway, here's the full story on how Bari Weiss and Donald Trump enjoyed a warm embrace and kissed each other on the cheek during his 60 Minutes interview — which featured him praising her as a “great” leader. — www.independent.co.uk/news/world/ a...

@sachlichepolitik.bsky.social: “Some CBS News employees expressed concern after the network cited two anonymous “US officials” on Wednesday to report that the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” after the incident.”

Justin Baragona / The Independent: Cheek kisses between Bari Weiss and Donald Trump following ‘60 Minutes’ interview rankle CBS staff

Abbey / @abbeyarletto.bsky.social: EXCLUSIVE: In a moment that sources said led to stunned reactions and dropped jaws, Bari Weiss excitedly introduced herself to the president and leaned in for a kiss on the cheek following his ‘60 Minutes’ interview.

@willpollock.com: “difference between these two stories is not their journalistic rigor. the difference is who they help.” @parkermolloy.com — if a bullseye itself threw a dart and hit the bullseye. — 🎩 @newsjennifer.bsky.social — www.readtpa.com/p/what-the-t... [image]

Jay Rosen / @jayrosen.bsky.social: If you're following the unbuilding of CBS News: — “A story with on-camera sources, legal clearance, and five rounds of vetting gets killed for not being ready. A story with anonymous sources and internal objections gets published because the editor-in-chief wanted it.” www.readtpa.com/p/what-the-t...

Craig Aaron / @notaaroncraig.bsky.social: “A story with on-camera sources, legal clearance, and five rounds of vetting gets killed for not being ready. A story with anonymous sources and internal objections gets published because the editor-in-chief wanted it. The difference ... is not journalistic rigor. The difference is who they help.”

Pam Spaulding / @pamspaulding.bsky.social: Another feather in the cap of Bari Weiss at See-BS News! — Those Ross “internal injuries” were just propaganda. (We all knew that, of course, we have 👀.) — No journos left at CBS to pick up a phone to confirm *anything of that factual magnitude* given this case? …

@wdlindsy@toad.social: It's hard to choose material to excerpt from Parker Molloy's important essay “What the Trump Administration Is Buying with CBS's Reputation.” As with everything Molloy writes, it's rich, dense, thoughtful — and I encourage you to read the entire piece. — In what follows, I'll offer a few excerpts that get to the heart of her story. …

Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy.com: Today's newsletter: The administration's narrative about Renee Good was collapsing. The video was everywhere. They needed something to change the conversation. A week later, CBS gave them “internal bleeding.” www.readtpa.com/p/what-the-t...

Garrett Owen / Salon: “Huge internal concern”: CBS report on ICE officer's injuries caused “big dissension” among staff

Democracy Now: CBS News “Exclusive” That ICE Officer “Suffered Internal Bleeding” Draws “Huge Internal Concern”

@murshedz.bsky.social: “The network's top editor, Bari Weiss, expressed a high level of interest in the story (re Ross reportedly suffering “internal bleeding to the torso") on an editorial call." — The story was “viewed as a thinly veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who'd carry it online.” …

@newsjennifer.bsky.social: “he was taken to a federal building” — EVERYTHING the Trump team has said about this deadly shooting is a lie including this now debunked claim that shooter Jonathan Ross went to the hospital. It's also further evidence that CBS News is doing propaganda for Trump. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01... …

@red-sparrows.bsky.social: They reported that he “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” which is awful reporting as that could mean a small bruise. They reported it from anonymous Trump admin sources without question. CBS is finished as a news source; there's no coming back from this. — www.theguardian.com/media/2026/ j...

Jane Manchun Wong / @wongmjane: My takeaway having been posting both here and [Meta's side project] for a while (now that their DAU is edging out, per TechCrunch): On X, the network effect is still strong, especially for the SF startup scene On the other site, the demographic is more diverse but less focused

Andrea Bosoni / @theandreboso: I wasn't expecting this. According to Similarweb Threads has now more daily active users than X. Anyone knows if there is an active community of founders and marketers on it? The trend looks on the rise. I guess it's time to give it another try. [image]

PYMNTS.com: Meta-Owned Threads Overtakes X in Daily Mobile Usage

John Aziz / @aziz0nomics: @clairlemon It's a Zuckerbergian Potemkin village made up of harvested traffic from Facebook and Instagram.

Tom Gara / @tomgara@threads.com: I've always been pretty skeptical of Similarweb's numbers but assumed at minimum they have a level of directional truth to them. With that being said, “A year ago, X had twice as many daily active users in the U.S. as it does now” is an absolutely insane stat if it's anywhere near true https://techcrunch.com/...
