US EditionAnderson Cooper Departs CBS News’ 60 Minutes
Anderson Cooper ends nearly 20-year run on 60 Minutes, citing family priorities and editorial differences under CBS News editor Bari Weiss's leadership.
- The longtime 60 Minutes correspondent said on February 16 that he is leaving after nearly 20 years, with segments airing through the current season.
- Sources close to CBS said, `he wasn't comfortable with Bari Weiss's editorial direction` and cited family reasons for his departure, according to reports.
- In December, Weiss ordered a last-minute hold on a 60 Minutes investigation into the CECOT prison in El Salvador, saying it wasn't ready and suggesting additional interviews including Stephen Miller.
- Variety reported Anderson Cooper declined to extend his CBS contract, CBS News acknowledged his departure, and 60 Minutes said it will be here if he ever wants to return.
- With staffing changes looming, Bari Weiss recently added 19 contributors including Peter Attia, who communicated extensively with Jeffrey Epstein, and will oversee layoffs cutting CBS News headcount by 15%.
