Daily Mail:

Inside the vicious CBS News 'bloodbath' where staff are fighting, crying and 'resent' Gayle King

CBS is [in] crisis - with staffers crying in the hallways, fighting over story coverage and seating, and scrambling to update their resumes amid fears of mass layoffs.

Insiders have told the Daily Mail that morale has plummeted across the network, from the flagship Sunday news show 60 Minutes to CBS Mornings, sparked by a looming $8.4 billion merger and a $20 billion lawsuit.

The tumult is turning into a 'bloodbath', one employee said, with feverish speculation rife among colleagues as to who will get the axe next.

Tensions are running particularly high about reports that CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, is preparing to slash $500 million in costs in preparation for the lucrative merger with Skydance Media against the backdrop of a ratings freefall.

One assumes SkyDance is demanding that CBS slash this half-billion in costs before the merger because CBS is dying and doesn't bring in much money.

So just to survive as a corporate entity, they have to fire a half-billion dollars' worth of incompetence.

The propagandists at 60 Minutes are aghast that CBS might agree to pay Trump $50 million to settle his "election interference" lawsuit.
