Though none of her suggestions made it to air, Pelley says Weiss’ involvement signaled an unprecedented level of political influence at CBS during his 37-year tenure. CBS defended Weiss, calling her input editorially collaborative and non-partisan. Pelley, who recently left CBS amid internal conflicts, ties the turmoil to corporate decisions including a Trump settlement and the firing of an executive producer, warning the newsroom’s integrity is under siege and likening the situation to “a newsroom on fire.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
