Ignoring the growing ā€˜60 Minutes’ controversy appears to be the network’s path forward.

Discussion of the growingĀ 60 MinutesĀ controversyĀ was conspicuously absent from a CBS editorial meeting on Tuesday morning.

The network’s MAGA-curious new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, who personally spiked a segment critical of the Trump administration that was set to air Sunday night, was on the call but did not address the now-viral report that aĀ Canadian affiliate mistakenly aired.

The Washington PostĀ andĀ Vanity FairĀ reported that Weiss, 41, joined the meeting via Zoom and ā€œwaved hiā€ from her car but did not speak.Ā CNN’s Brian Stelter reported that theĀ 60 Minutes controversy was not mentioned during the meeting.

    I hear you can get sued for removing segments for political reasons…

    Edit: this feels like it would be a great use of Newsom’s money
