Summary
With the White House Correspondents’ Dinner approaching, news organizations are confronting an uncomfortable question: Do they welcome members of an administration that demonizes the press at every turn into their weekend events—or do they draw a line? Over at CBS News, Bari Weiss has staffers at “60 Minutes” nervous about how she will overhaul the show. We've learned exclusive new details about what Weiss is privately floating during meetings about the newsmagazine’s future. Plus, MAGA Media has had it with Donald Trump. Top figures like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Megyn Kelly are unloading on the president over the Iran War—with some even calling for him to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment. Oliver and Jon break it all down—and answer viewer questions during Open Lines at the end of the episode. 0:00 Intro 1:32 Trump Attending the White House Correspondent’s Dinner 15:40 60 Minutes Staffers Brace for Bari Weiss Shake-Up 25:29 MAGA Media Eviscerates Trump 36:01 Open Lines: Oliver and Jon Answer Listener Questions Thanks to our sponsor, beehiiv, the platform that powers the Status newsletter!
