CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss poached ABC News reporter Matt Gutman on Friday, months after his on-air comments about Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin triggered backlash from many on the right. Weiss was previously rumored to be eying Gutman for the role of CBS Evening News anchor. The storied show's two co-anchors Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson both announced their resignations in recent months.

The paradigm has completely changed in news, and we have so much opinion that the truth doesn't hold value anymore. And what we end up doing is we, as consumers, trying to find the truthwe can't find good old-fashioned facts. And it distresses me so terribly. CBS is a whole different organization than I had worked for. CBS has now been taken over, thanks to greedy owners, Shari Redstone partnering with David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son.

"President Trump increasingly appears to be exercising direct control over CBS's editorial decisions, destroying CBS's 'journalistic integrity' while violating its right to be free from governmental coercion and manipulation."

On Thursday, Livesay was aboard the papal plane for a trip to Turkey. In a video posted online, Livesay explained his plan to give the Pope a special bat that had been in his family's possession for years. The bat, he revealed, once belonged to star second baseman Nellie Fox.

Yes, the president lied and blustered and then lied again. But the abiding impression conveyed by the session was the fact that it was a perfect view of the way CBS News is circling the drain. Remember when the network caved to the president to the tune of $16 million rather than fight a preposterous case regarding CBS having edited an interview with Kamala Harris?

The above-average Atlantic Ocean temperatures, made worse by climate change, helped Melissa rapidly intensify into a category 5 storm.

"News partners: We recognize it's been a challenging period and we're deeply grateful for your resilience, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to the news business. We take immense pride in CBS News' legacy of impactful journalism and look forward to continuing to foster a newsroom culture where journalists are empowered, trusted, and equipped to do their best work."

The approval of the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media, valued at $8 billion, raises questions about the potential psychic costs associated with corporate changes.

Most notable is the $16 million settlement by Paramount Global to the Trump administration over a lawsuit regarding a 60 Minutes story, raised allegations of fraud against CBS News.

Tanya Simon, with 25 years of experience on 60 Minutes, has been named executive producer after serving as interim executive producer since April. She has significantly contributed to the show.

Sen. Ron Wyden criticized Paramount's settlement with President Trump, asserting it amounted to a bribe for merger approval, and threatened federal charges in the future.

I say to Shari Redstone: Enough is enough. Do not capitulate to Trump's attack on a free press. Do not settle Trump's bogus lawsuit against 60 Minutes.

I agreed to speak with CBS Sunday Morning to promote my new book, The Art of Winning Lessons from My Life in Football.
