Another 60 Minutes veteran leaves Bari Weiss’ CBS News as exodus of talent continues

Key Points:

• Henry Schuster, a longtime producer at 60 Minutes since 2007, announced his departure from the program, citing it was "time for a change" and that he had been considering leaving for some time.
• Schuster's exit coincides with significant staffing upheavals under CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who has removed several key correspondents and producers amid controversy over her leadership and alleged political bias.
• Weiss, hired after Paramount Global was acquired by David Ellison's Skydance Media, has faced criticism for shifting CBS News toward a more right-leaning editorial stance, leading to resignations and firings, including well-known correspondent Scott Pelley.
• The turmoil includes Weiss pulling a 60 Minutes segment on El Salvador's CECOT prison, resulting in correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi's firing, and Pelley’s departure after publicly criticizing Weiss' management and the direction of the program.
• Schuster, who previously worked at CNN for 25 years, expressed uncertainty about his next steps but indicated he is not retiring and hinted at exploring new projects outside typical media ventures like podcasts or newsletters.
