CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss sought to explain her actions to “60 Minutes” staff on Wednesday, after firing correspondent Scott Pelley from the newsmagazine.
“I know I speak for myself, and I hope I speak for everyone here when I say that I’m only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect,” she said on the news division’s morning call. “That foundation was broken on Monday.”
