BREAKING: 60 Minutes Producer Exits CBS With Brutal Parting Shot at Bari Weiss
A veteran 60 Minutes producer is walking out the door of CBS News, and he’s not leaving quietly.
Henry Schuster, who spent nearly two decades inside the storied newsroom, confirmed his departure this week, making clear his exit comes amid the chaos surrounding network boss Bari Weiss.
Schuster said he had been weighing the decision for a while and finally took the opportunity when it presented itself earlier this year. But in his farewell message, he didn’t pretend everything was fine on his way out.
He acknowledged that his own departure is overshadowed by the forced exits of so many colleagues and friends who got pushed out during Weiss’s turbulent run atop the network.
Weiss, who had no background in broadcast news before being installed as editor in chief, has spent her tenure gutting the program’s independence. Respected correspondents have been fired. A respected executive producer was forced out. One of the show’s most senior journalists publicly accused Weiss of “murdering” 60 Minutes after clashing with her new leadership team.
Schuster didn’t rush to cash in on the moment either. He joked that he’s avoiding the cliche next step, no podcast, no Substack, at least not yet. Just a journalist with two decades of credibility, walking away and naming exactly what’s happening to the institution he helped build.
