CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon abruptly resigns, cites disagreements with company amid 'challenging' period

CBS News President and CEO Wendy McMahon announced Monday she was stepping down in another stunning move for the embattled company, Fox News Digital has confirmed.

Her exit follows that of longtime "60 Minutes" producer Bill Owens, who quit last month because he felt he'd lost journalistic independence amid an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump.

"Today, I am stepping down from my position as president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures. It has been one of the most meaningful chapters in my career. Leading this extraordinary organization has been the honor of a lifetime because I got to work alongside all of you," McMahon wrote in a memo to staffers.

"At the same time, the past few months have been challenging," she continued. "It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. It’s time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership."

I had my share of lib chicks in Manhattan
“Are u from Texas” lol

I always lied and said yeah Dallas since I lived there as a pre schooler

I’d def hit Kasey Musgraves

Rib and I were oddly talking bout how pretty she is this morning by pool in French quarter

I said yeah but she’s so fembot and lib

And worse as a Texan there’s no excuse

Rib says yeah but your hit it

I was like well wifey knows me

Another thing is musgraves doesn’t scream to sing

A bench mark for chick singers according to my William Morris employed pal back home in music city

Hope you’re well hoss!

I’m betting the threat of discovery by President Trump’s legal team has them spooked and ready to cough up a huge pile of cash.

Seems like Trump is willing to settle for $1 Billion and an apology.

Otherwise, Trump is going to find out what's there.

Good riddance.

I like the message it sends to all senior managers who think they have carte blanche to attack Trump and Israel.

This actually goes well beyond that.

She bucked the corporate owners and paid the price.

You don’t do that and retain your employment..............
