She installed someone without tv experience and essentially fired the journalist who challenged her decision to hold the El Salvador torture piece

Is that really necessary? I didn't know anybody was still watching.

Viewership was actually up last year. And yeah, it’s necessary if we want to try to save what’s left of journalism

I stopped watching after Weiss killed the El Salvador prison segment.

People should have boycotted anything Bari Weiss has touched for many years before this… she’s an evil demon.

Agree. I'm a boomer, and have always liked 60 Minutes, but enough is enough. Bari Weiss should be fired. CBS is kowtowing to Trump in every which way, so I plan to boycott all its shows.

I’m a young GenX (will turn 50 this year) and have always thought of it as an old folks show because my parents watched it when I was growing up. Plus the stopwatch sound always signified the end of the weekend. So I don’t watch it for those reasons and now I have an additional one lol.

I haven’t watched CBS in years.

Boycott? This ain't yo daddies 60 minutes. No one is watching already.

There’s exactly one litmus test that led to her hire and to Bilton’s hire, too. ZBS, indeed.

Boycotting sounds like it takes more effort than just avoiding anything Bari Weiss is involved in, which comes naturally.

Scott Pelley blew up about the new producer, Weiss and the firings today in a staff meeting, saying Weiss “murdered” 60 Minutes. I’ve watched since I was a teen. I’m an old Gen X and am so sad and mad about the decimation of this show and the Washington Post.
