The 10AM gathering, held at the program’s Midtown Manhattan headquarters, was intended as a formal introduction to Bilton, a tech journalist & filmmaker who was appointed last week as part of a major shake-up at “#60Minutes.” #CBS fired Tanya Simon, the previous executive producer, & her deputy, along with Sharyn Alfonsi & Cecilia Vega, 2 of the show’s correspondents — an event that Pelley referred to as “Black Thursday.”

The meeting quickly turned tense — not a surprise after months of strain between veteran journalists at “#60Minutes” & #BariWeiss, an opinion “journalist” who was a longtime critic of legacy #media institutions before she became the head of one last year. She was appointed by #DavidEllison, a tech scion who took control of #CBS’s parent company #Paramount in a multibillion-dollar merger.
