Bari Weiss ousts Tanya Simon at ’60 Minutes’ in favor of Nick Bilton

On May 17, “60 Minutes” wrapped its 58th season. Less than two weeks later, CBS’s top editor, Bari Weiss, has begun an overhaul.
On Thursday morning, CBS News fired veteran correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who had feuded with Weiss over a delayed “60 Minutes” segment, and executive producer Tanya Simon, the daughter of legendary CBS correspondent Bob Simon, who died in 2015.
