Scott Pelley accused Bari Weiss of “murdering” CBS’s 60 Minutes over the summer after he was fired for refusing to accept a culture of change at the long-running news program. But despite warnings from Pelley and others, the newsmagazine debuted its 59th season Sunday with much of the show’s core intact.

In fact, despite critics’ fears that Weiss would destroy the show by dragging it to the right and making it more deferential to President Trump, the season premiere hardly shied away from criticizing him.
