My understanding, we reported this in Status back in January last month, is that there's an Anderson Cooper piece that's been in the works for several months about...
Yeah, about the fact that migrants from South Africa are permitted to come to the United States, largely based on this conspiracy theory that Donald Trump has been peddling about white genocide in South Africa.
This story has been held.
for quite some time.
And Anderson's been working on it since last year.
It's been several months in the making.
And we reported last month that Barry Weiss had sent the story back with extensive notes.
And that had at least, I don't know about Anderson, but it had definitely frustrated the producer who has worked at 60 Minutes for about 30 years, a veteran 60 Minutes producer.
He was very frustrated by the fact that they were getting these extensive notes from Barry Weiss.
And that leads me to another point, Don.
Barry Weiss is running 60 Minutes in a way that's unlike her predecessors.
Typically, and I talked to a number of people when we reported this story, typically the news chiefs at CBS News do not meddle in 60 Minutes.
That the final buck usually stops with the executive producer of 60 Minutes, who is now Tanya Simon.
The news chief of the network does not come in and oversee and kind of babysit and helicopter edit the stories.
That's not what's happening right now.
Barry Weiss effectively is the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
So Tanya Simon is almost been.
to some extent, handicap because she can approve things, but then Barry Weiss can come in and say, no, no, we're going to hold that story or no, no, that Anderson Cooper story needs this and that.
And that has frustrated the staff, not only because of Barry Weiss's ideological perspectives and the way she's moving the network to the right, but because she's
from my understanding, just a terrible manager and doesn't understand the process of how to get a story to air, how 60 Minutes runs, how the edit works, when the screenings are, which she admitted in the town hall she did earlier this month or last month with staff.
