Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft slammed MAGA-curious CBS boss Bari Weiss’s firings of prominent staff at the prestigious news documentary program, calling it “a slap in the face to everybody who’s worked there.”
Appearing on PBS NewsHour on Wednesday, Kroft, 80, shared his thoughts on the major staffing changes made to the newsmagazine in the wake of Weiss’s installation as the network’s editor-in-chief, including the high-profile firing of longtime correspondent Scott Pelley earlier this week.
