NEW YORK \u2014 Saying \u201cWe don\u2019t want to see \u201860 Minutes\u2019 die,\u201d the three remaining correspondents at the turmoil-plagued CBS News program have decided to stay, for now.<\/p>\n

A memo from Lesley Stahl, Jon Wertheim and Bill Whitaker to fellow staffers expressed anger – and grief – over the recent firings at the show, and said the three had had \u201ca hard time\u201d deciding whether to remain.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s why we are staying: We don\u2019t want to see \u201860 Minutes\u2019 die,\u201d the three wrote in the joint memo obtained by The Associated Press on Friday.<\/p>\n

They expressed their regret over the recent firings of colleagues implemented by Bari Weiss, the new CBS News editor-in-chief, and the executive producer she installed last week, Nick Bilton. He replaced Tanya Simon, who was let go after a 30-plus year tenure with the show. Also dismissed were correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, among other top staffers. Scott Pelley was then fired this week after a tense confrontation with CBS News bosses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to express how sorry we are that these principled, fair and honest journalists were treated so shabbily, with such indecency,\u201d the three correspondents said in their memo. But they said they were \u201cworking to build trust\u201d with Bilton, their new boss, and left open the possibility that they could leave later, if need be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can continue doing the work that made this show what it is – committing acts of independent, fearless journalism and storytelling – we\u2019re here for it,\u201d the three wrote. \u201cIf not, we leave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHere\u2019s to Season 59!\u201d the note ended.<\/p>\n

Persuading the three to remain was a crucial step in Bilton\u2019s task of getting the show back on track for the next season, which launches in September.<\/p>\n

The show is suddenly down four correspondents. In addition to the three dismissed, Anderson Cooper – whose primary job is on-air work for CNN – said earlier this year he was leaving of his own accord after two decades.<\/p>\n

Turmoil had been evident at \u201c60 Minutes\u201d for more than a year. Much of it came after President Donald Trump sued the show over its editing of a 2024 interview with then-Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

That became part of a broader shake-up at CBS News after Weiss was named to the new role of editor-in-chief by parent company Paramount late last year following David Ellison\u2019s arrival as the network\u2019s corporate leader.<\/p>\n

Ellison\u2019s company, Skydance, merged with CBS parent company Paramount, which later settled the Trump lawsuit for $16 million. That upset some at \u201c60 Minutes\u201d and many believe it indirectly led to the departure last month of popular longtime CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert, who had called the settlement \u201ca big fat bribe.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBS News has been at the center of the American broadcast-news ecosystem since its radio days before the dawn of television, though Weiss earlier this year announced the shutdown of CBS News\u2019 radio operation. The network\u2019s nightly newscast was seen for decades as one of the most widely trusted institutions in the nation under longtime anchorman Walter Cronkite.<\/p>\n
