'60 Minutes' Opens 59th Season Amid Leadership Turmoil and Departures

The newsmagazine '60 Minutes' commenced its 59th season on CBS-TV without directly addressing the recent behind-the-scenes turmoil. This upheaval includes the firing of top producer Tanya Simon and correspondents Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi, alongside Anderson Cooper's departure. These changes are part of a broader restructuring at CBS News following the appointment of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief and David Ellison as the network's corporate leader.
