New '60 Minutes' boss rakes in millions as top staff flee amid CBS leadership's political maneuvering

—The newly installed head of "60 Minutes" is collecting a multimillion-dollar compensation package even as a wave of departures strips the program of its most experienced journalists, according to reporting from The New Republic. The Daily Beast characterized the CBS leadership's posture as deliberately laying low — avoiding public statements while overseeing what it calls a "bloodbath" in the newsroom. Critics say the executive's MAGA-curious political leanings are driving out veteran staffers who built the show's credibility.
