“The concern is we’re going to end up with a broadcast that looks like ‘60 Minutes’ but doesn’t have the courage or the character to produce ‘60 Minutes’ #journalism that actually matters,” Alfonsi said.

…Alfonsi would be the second “#60Minutes” correspondent to depart since #BariWeiss joined #CBS. #AndersonCooper said in February that he would leave the program after 20 yrs.

#BariWeiss, an opinion “journalist” whose tenure has drawn enormous scrutiny, is readying a significant shake-up at “#60Minutes,” the network’s flagship news series.

…Alfonsi has contributed to “60 Minutes” since 2015. She was at the center of a firestorm in December after Weiss, who was appointed by #CBS’s new owner, #DavidEllison, pulled a 13-minute segment that Alfonsi had reported on harsh conditions faced by Venezuelan men deported by the #Trump admin.

#CBSNews declined to renew its contract with the “#60Minutes” correspondent #SharynAlfonsi, 6 months after her segment on #torture in Salvadoran prisons was pulled off the air abruptly by the “news” division’s editor in chief, #BariWeiss.

Alfonsi’s deal expired Saturday. She said in a phone interview that her agent’s inquiries with #CBS News over the past several weeks had been met with silence.
