60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi departs after clash with Bari Weiss
Breaking NYT: CBS News declined to renew its contract with '60 Minutes' correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi — six months after her segment on torture in Salvadoran prisons was pulled off the air abruptly by Bari Weiss. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...
Grumpy Zeus101I don't watch CBS for this reason. They bury stories which illuminate the corruption of the administration. Bari Weiss is a fascist...I'm sorry...Bari Weiss is a motherfucking dangerous fascist.
670rv42"cancel culture" - those who complained about cancel culture now cancelling!
Aster Vérité29Dear Canadians, help me lobby to get all US networks pulled from mandatory carriage in Canadian basic cable packages... We must not be forced to subsidize fascist news outlets
The Opinionated Retiree and Nasty Part Owner of Canada 🇨🇦28It's all good...60 Minutes is dead now, anyway. I suspect that Scott Pelly won't be far behind. No one will watch a show that wil become "60 Minutes of Trump Propaganda".
Andy Olsen27CBSNews peddles regime disinformation and is not a trustworthy source of news. #BoycottCBS #BoycottCBSNews
Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot26Vote with your dollars people.
MadGreek 🧿2060 Minutes should go on cable away from FCC scrutiny. It's pretty much dead to me now.

Jean R14CBS killing one of the best programs on TV. MAGA hates truth.
beatts55.bsky.social1360 minutes used to be a staple of mine.
David Stone11Bari Weiss is a horrible person. For some reason, I often confuse her with Elise Stephanik.
Corey O'Neill10Watching Bari Weiss Murder Investigative Journalism at CBS Notes from someone who's withstood White House demands to stop an explosive story—and who once even had a 60 Minutes piece spiked www.forever-wars.com/watching-bar...
Darbyfish9If you tank all the other TV stations, the only thing left is Fox. It is almost like a single state-sanctioned station for propaganda was the plan all along.
Bill's son, Bob9Another real journalist set free to do journalism again...!!
SweetMel8No need to ever watch CBS ever ever again. Or anything the Ellison’s own. Every journalist working for these people should quit if they have any integrity.
George Suggs8A free and independent press being the key to democracy what better way to destroy democracy than to eliminate a free and independent press.
riversofsound.bsky.social7I'm not watching anything on CBS now that Colbert is off the air, but this confirms my need to avoid CBS.
CAbbott6Bari Weiss is sure adding up her karma quota quickly.. gonna age like trump… badly. 😳
patrick617.bsky.social6CBS is competing hard alongside Fox to be MAGA’s Der Strumer
putawomanincharge.bsky.social6Block CBS IT FELT GREAT
heyjudie.bsky.social6Alfonsi is better off; she may not think so ATM, but she is. She's on the right side of history.
gpyr56.bsky.social5Even more reason to just not watch anything on CBS. I will make one exception: Some time to make note of advertisers on the network that I can do without and no longer need to support. It's amazing how easy that is to do.
badPuppy5Another network or streaming team should start a clone of 60minutes and hire the team. What should they call it? 3600 Seconds?
Sorry not sorry5I love Sharon! She’s too good for that POS program.
furtdude.bsky.social5Doesn't matter - ain't EVER tuning in to CBS, even if the Eagles are on.
manikowsky32.bsky.social4The significance of how Trump and the GOP are quickly quashing free speech, eliminating the sources of information and communication that keep me sane, hit me like a ton of bricks. “News” shows like CNN are just gab fests. Humor like that of Colbert is gone. People are afraid to speak out.
justicejunkie52.bsky.social4CBS is now indeed See BS now. It once was a decent channel; now just state tv, Russian style imho
drjruberti.bsky.social4Fascism can’t handle the truth
Dave Wenning3Sounds like the Ministry of Truth didn't approve of her.
crummybuttons 🫘 ☮ 🇺🇸 🗽 🏳🌈 🌊 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 📎3When Bari gets her well deserved termination, I predict she will whine endlessly!
Akiro3182Well of course they did. We shouldnt be watching CBS at all. No more. Hopefully she ends up on the side of the independents resisiting Nazis.
Grumpy Gram2When 2/3rds of the population moves to independent journalism, the remaining 1/3rd will not be sufficient to support legacy media. A financial reckoning is coming.
chocolatefire.bsky.social2As if we didn’t already see the pink slip on the wall months ago.
Duff62This is good news! MS Alfonso has been liberated - good for her!
Saint Helena Island Info2"This is CBS. We can't have people revealing the truth."
Chaosaurus Bex2I genuinely don’t understand the hype around Weiss. She just seems so average and blah.
Resistor 🏜️🏳️🌈 🤷♂️🌇🔵2All of US corporate media will eventually become state propaganda tools for the regime. Watch/read l/support independent writers and news sites. They are our last hope of knowing the truth. #trumpsucks #resist #anti-fascism
Deb2They should just cancel 60 minutes altogether. A once venerable news show that was not afraid to hold truth to power. Mike Wallace must be turning over in his grave.
🌀Heidi2God forbid anybody in this country knows the truth. They think they can bury the truth. They think they can hide their bigotry and racism. Might be able to hide it in this country, but everyone else in the world will know what the truth is
CindyLooHoo2Time for all these journalists/reporters to start their won independent network cc @colbertlateshow.bsky.social
nonrev2We are about to see what a "news" network becomes when its run by oligarchs Can't have a straight forward exposay and investigative team, like 60 minutes, gumming up the works of the 1%. Media ownership is becoming increasing concentrated among billionaires Never watch CBS again
robertt2024.bsky.social2We certainly can’t embarrass the president . We get too much from him, says Ellison
Moderntrumpet2Actually will be benefit for her - boycott cbs!!
60 Minutes' Sharyn Alfonsi pens a goodbye note slamming Bari Weiss' actions against her "as a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting." Read the rest:
Tim Karr30News of Alfonsi's "firing" comes on the day of the News Emmys, celebrated in NYC tonight. CBS News is among nominees, though they were given fewer nods than ABC, PBS & NBC newsrooms. Worth seeing whether they take home any accolades or are snubbed as retribution for Weiss' ham-fisted reign.
Dr. Shrimp Puerto Rico, PH.D8I will never watch @cbsnews.com again. No integrity and no credibility. It's just another infotainment network now.
twistedphilosopher.bsky.social3I respect the letter, but no one watches that tripe anymore anyway. They aren't fooling anyone. Weiss has turned CBS into the new Newsmax. It's not out of incompetence, its out of design. Problem for them is, no one watches their trash anymore and thats why independent media is blowing up.
theelusiveog.bsky.social2Weiss is a fascist propagandist, imho, no other way to see it
Greenwood Hi-Fi2PBS is the last bastion of journalistic integrity in America.
Patrick Matthews2Startling that CBS is valuing Bari Fucking Weiss over a brand as storied as 60 Minutes
Stacia Lentz 2I’ve always found Alfonsi’s pieces very well done. She is an excellent journalist. Of course, maga has to trash everything that is good.
crazyworldwelivein.bsky.social2I look forward to 60 Minutes doing segments on how anti vax homeschooled weirdos for Trump are oppressed and censored.
Don Moynihan2is there a source for this?
"This was...a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom....Today, CBS management is...choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it."
wantthetruth.bsky.social8CBS becoming the new FAKE FOX.
Jeffrey Brown 6I understand that they have already hired her replacement:
TRG5Bari Weiss and her boy toy Tony DoucheKoupil need to go…..
Occams Razor3When Trump is gone and a relative 'normality' returns I hope these fuckers go bankrupt because of these subservient decisions.
Zigzaggreen🇨🇦2The pedophiles are running the show
MistressofEyeRolls2You know, in these times, it seems INCREDIBLY easy for all of these talented people to just get together and form a new form of media, outside influence by the criminal MAGosphere.
3dlanyard.bsky.social2BARI WEISS belongs in prison.
strangeronafarm.bsky.social2Just confirms my choice to boycott CBS completely. No sports, no news, no programs. Done.
happycamper24.bsky.social2CBS is nothing more than a mouth piece for that Nazi regime.
scoop from Michael Grynbaum: Sharyn Alfonsi, who has lost her deal with CBS News, says that "the wall has come down" at "60 Minutes" between "editorial independence and corporate interests." Full interview here: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...

happy-daze1.bsky.social2Our right wing tech oligarch overlords have spoken. You will listen and obey. You will believe what they tell you. Or else. Vote like our democracy depends on it. Because it does.
Bari Weiss gets her revenge against Sharyn Alfonsi, the brave (and now former) "60 Minutes" correspondent who went public after Weiss pulled her report on the El Salvadoran torture prison. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...
bobhudsonvalley.bsky.social4Sharyn Alfonsi maybe leaving 60 Minutes but she leaves with her journalistic and personal integrity , honor and reputation intact. Bari Weiss on the other hand has been revealed as an incompetent manager who is reliant on her fellow pro Zionist , MAGA overlord Ellison family.
futbolsound3When bravery in news is punished, and sycophancy rewarded, it only serves to reinforce the decline of a once serious news organization. Alfonsi joins Cooper on the out. Good for them.
