CBS News’ 60 Minutes is about to lose another high-profile star under the chaotic reign of the network’s editor in chief Bari Weiss following the shock exit of Anderson Cooper, according to a report.
CNN’s Brian Stelter wrote in his Reliable Sources newsletter that “at least one other correspondent” is on the way out after it was reported Cooper would not be renewing his contract after becoming disillusioned with the direction of the now Donald Trump–friendly CBS News under Weiss.

The official reason Cooper gave for not renewing his contract at CBS News was to spend more time with his family.
“For nearly twenty years, I’ve been able to balance my jobs at CNN and CBS, but I have little kids now and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, while they still want to spend time with me,” Cooper said in a statement.
However, sources told Status that the veteran anchor was unhappy with the “rightward direction” under Weiss and David Ellison, the CEO of CBS’s parent company, Paramount Global.

BTW, here's his family...
Is the unofficial reason that he now has kids’ privates to play with?
My guess is that he is fighting some disease and doesn’t have the stamina to do honest journaling. He is missing the opportunity to prove his points in what he considers an environment antithetical to his viewpoint. “Spending time with family “ many times means,”I’m sick”
It should be a crime to put children with gays.
They desperately want it to be "chaotic."
I see two mental cases who I wouldn’t trust with my children taking a picture with someone else’s kids.
Bari Weiss? MAGA curious?
She’s a hard left progressive. I’ll never understand the recent infatuation with her. At best, she’s Trotsky competing with Stalinists.
“high-profile star”...hahahahahaha!
Poor kids.
I feel bad for the kids...
The faggots can rot.
Is Trump-friendly a code word for fair and accurate?
2 little boys? YIKES!
It should be but it’s not. They may have paid a surrogate. It’s sad either way.
Both of Cooper’s sons, Wyatt and Benjamin, were born via surrogate. Supposedly, Cooper’s mom even offered to be his surrogate early in his life after discovering he was gay.
I like Anderson Cooper’s excellent book, “The Rainbow Comes and Goes”, written with his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Anderson’s brother committed suicide by jumping off their elegant home’s balcony in NYC. his mother was there, tried to stop him.
Somehow, that book helped me when my own son died and I’m grateful to Anderson and his mom for writing it. Do I agree with his politics? Of course not, but I don’t hate him at all.
Puke. Retch. Gag.
Don Lemon can replace Cooper Anderson. It’s sort of like Wil Smith doing remakes of white guy movies.
“Cooper’s mom even offered to be his surrogate early in his life after discovering he was gay.”
How low have the Vanderbilts sunk. From the old Commodore, one of “The Men Who Built America”, to this.
Oh noes! They “lost” Anderson Cooper? Whatsoever shall they do?????
