“Most Of The 60 Minutes Wednesday Staff Lost Their Jobs Today”

A CBS staffer corroborates the reports of dramatic job losses at 60 Minutes: “Most of the ’60 Minutes Wednesday’ staff lost their jobs today…a handful are going over to the Sunday ’60 Minutes’…some of us are being told to meet with executives at other CBS News broadcasts for possible openings…and a good portion were just told they’re out. It’s one of the saddest days I’ve ever seen in more than two decades of working for CBS News.”
