💔 IN ONE WEEK — BARI WEISS REDUCED 60 MINUTES FROM 7 CORRESPONDENTS TO 3. HERE ARE THE NAMES OF EVERYONE WHO IS GONE. This is what "Black Thursday" looks like from the inside. Anderson Cooper — 20 years at 60 Minutes. Resigned in February 2026 after growing tensions with the new direction under Bari Weiss. He saw what was coming. He left before the firings. Tanya Simon — Executive Producer. Daughter of legendary 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon. Fired. "Completely blindsided." Sharyn Alfonsi — The correspondent who made the CECOT investigation that Weiss pulled for "political reasons." Fired. Cecilia Vega — A CBS Evening News anchor who moved to 60 Minutes. Fired. Scott Pelley — 48 years at CBS News. 51 Emmy Awards. 9/11 at Ground Zero. Every president since George H.W. Bush. Fired by email the night after he spoke the truth in a staff meeting. Three correspondents remain. Three. Down from seven. 60 Minutes has been on the air since 1968. It has won more than 150 Emmy Awards. It has been the most watched newsmagazine in American television history for 57 years. It currently has three correspondents. Nick Bilton — a technology journalist whose Netflix documentaries never saw the light of day — is running it. Bari Weiss says this is about ensuring that "the DNA of hard-hitting interviews and probing investigations is built to survive a changing media landscape." The people who built that DNA have all been fired. 💬 Did you know this many people were fired from 60 Minutes? Comment YES or NO 💔 #60Minutes #ScottPelley #AndersonCooper #CBS #Fired
