Former 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega says she faced strong pressure from CBS executives to shape stories with a slant into stories. Vega alleges the company demanded she adjust to shape coverage in ways that matched corporate agendas. Bari Weiss, a journalist who was previously employed by CBS, claims she was told to cover events that had no basis. Weiss states she received instructions to report stories that lacked factual basis. These claims come after inside conflicts at the network surfaced. Separately, German police fatally wounded the suspect in a Berlin Pride ramming attack. Authorities identified the suspect as the individual who targeted participants. The attack occurred during a public gathering.
