The Bari Weiss Era of ‘60 Minutes’ Begins

The 59th season of 60 Minutes premiered on CBS News this Sunday, marking the start of the Bari Weiss era. While the program introduced new correspondents and a refreshed stopwatch, the changes were described as tweaks rather than a complete overhaul. The premiere episode featured familiar faces including Lesley Stahl, Jon Wertheim, and Norah O'Donnell. Some reports characterized the debut as mediocre and bland, suggesting that the influence of Bari Weiss has remained limited so far.
