Ellison is currently making a hostile bid to outmaneuver a rival company, #Netflix, & acquire the media behemoth #WarnerBrosDiscovery. He has been courting Trump’s support for his bid, but #Trump has used recent episodes of “ #60Minutes” to suggest he is displeased with Ellison’s stewardship of #CBS.

#CBS announced the change 3 hours before the broadcast, a highly unusual last-minute switch. The decision was made after #BariWeiss, the new editor in chief of #CBSNews, requested numerous changes to the segment. CBS News said in a statement that the segment would air at a later date & “needed additional reporting.”

But #SharynAlfonsi, the veteran “ #60Minutes” correspondent who reported the segment, rejected that criticism in a private note to #CBS colleagues on Sunday.…
“Our story was screened 5 times & cleared by both CBS attorneys & Standards & Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”

Sunday’s unusual events have once again placed “ #60Minutes” at the center of a #media & #political fracas.
#BariWeiss was appointed in October after #DavidEllison, the owner of CBS’s parent company, #ParamountSkydance, acquired her independent “news” & opinion site, The Free Press.
Ellison’s acquisition of #Paramount earlier this year was approved by the #Trump admin only after Paramount paid $16M to settle a lawsuit that Trump had brought against “60 Minutes.”

“For those people that think I am close with the new owners of #CBS, please understand that #60Minutes has treated me far worse since the so-called ‘takeover,’ than they have ever treated me before,” #Trump complained on Truth Social last week.
