Kroft: 60 Minutes We've Known 'No Longer Exists'

Article excerpt

60 Minutes imploded this week after CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss fired respected staffers and correspondents, hired broadcast-news outsider Nick Bilton as executive producer, and clashed with anchor Scott Pelley, who accused her of "murdering" the show before his own exit. The turmoil has captivated media circles as longtime correspondent Steve Kroft declared the program he helped build "no longer exists." Weiss's overhaul marks a dramatic reckoning for one of television's most storied news franchises.
