The CBS reporter who led the story removed from "60 Minutes" calls pulling it a "political" decision.

12. Weiss is a disgrace to journalism and nothing less than a spokesperson for the white house

It is nothing less than a failing of modern society that people like Weiss can fail upwards to these positions. She played the all too familiar role now of what I call the "silenced superstar". People who create fake controversy, setting aside all facts and logic, and declare themselves aggrieved in some way so they can make a name for themselves in the MAGAsphere. Weiss was nothing more than a little known person at the NYT but put all ethics aside and realized bullshitting people could move her up in the world, and that is what this charlatan has done, to where she is now spiking stories at 60 minutes, and people with real history and expertise in journalism have little they can do but accept it. Weiss running the CBS news room is a little like a 12 year old being handed the reigns of an NFL football team, and the other coaches and players having nothing they can do but follow orders as the team crashes into an 0-17 season

There needs to be a way to put people who undermine our free press like Weiss in prison. She is working alongside the government to spike not just news stories, but the first amendment as a whole. We are supposed to have a free press. Not one where the government killing our first amendment becomes an "inside job" from rats inside the newsroom.
