And you could tell during the interview that this was raw.

This was not a calculated career move or something.

And there's one section in particular in a play where he was discussing, using the honorific, Miss Weiss and the manner in which she intervened with 60 Minutes around their story on Renee Goode.

That's pretty striking and concerning, just how blunt he is, that Barry Weiss came in and said after agents of the state killed Renee Good, she was demanding that the 60 Minutes story reflect the...

Not publicly.

I mean, I guess they had a private meeting with Bill Whitaker.

Which was terrible, apparently.

And this is why Nick Bilton couldn't answer the question when Pelley was asking him at that original meeting that leaked about why they had fired the previous executive producers and the heads of the show.

This is why it was so important for Barry Weiss to get somebody that...

was her choice in charge of the show.

They couldn't do what they had done traditionally, which is promote the person internally that had been the best story producer.

That's how 60 Minutes worked.

They would promote from within.

They'd find somebody that understood the program and that had demonstrated skill and leadership at shepherding various stories to the TV.

Instead, she has to bring in some outside guy.

And it's like, why?

Well, it's for this.

So she doesn't have to send an email to somebody she doesn't know saying, hey, can you make sure the story reflects the lie that the president told that Renee Good was aiming her car at the officer when all video shows that she was doing the opposite.

Now she can just communicate that to Nick Bilton and have him try to do it.

So we'll see how it continues to go.
