The fight over Bari Weiss' '60 Minutes' overhaul is getting uglier

• “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley reportedly accused Bari Weiss of “murdering” the iconic news program.
• Weiss has framed her efforts to shake up CBS News as part of a tech-driven transformation.
• Her critics say the personnel changes make the news operation more politically palatable to Trump.

Alfonsi told colleagues in a memo viewed by Business Insider that her ouster “was not a routine corporate transition.”

“It was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom,” Alfonsi wrote.
