AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
The veteran CBS News correspondent, fired last week after blowing up at the newly installed executive producer of 60 Minutes during a staff meeting, sat down with the New York Times to describe his termination as feeling similar to having a spouse who was murdered. He dubbed the day colleagues were let go the "Black Thursday massacre." He accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of trying to get him to "inject falsehoods and bias" into a story, a claim dramatic enough to land headlines and vague enough to raise questions. He has declined to name the specific story, the specific falsehoods, or who precisely gave the order.
