- Breaker News photos published by the New York Post show Weiss arriving at a RedBird Capital event in New York with a six-person security detail, with the Post noting it is unclear if the same team accompanies her at CBS offices.
- A Fox News report quotes a CBS News insider saying internal critics of Weiss cluster into two groups, younger progressive staffers and older employees protective of the legacy brand, while others are open to change.
- Weiss emailed staff requesting descriptions of their daily duties, prompting the Writers Guild of America East to advise holding off as CBS told employees they would not be disciplined for ignoring the request.
- Recent editorial moves include pressing 60 Minutes about perceived bias and pursuing high-profile political bookings such as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff for the program.
- Early turbulence has included the departure of longtime standards chief Claudia Milne, and the New York Post reports employees expect further shake-ups with a possible round of layoffs within days.
