What leading voices in media are saying about Anderson Cooper's '60 Minutes' departure

Trish Regan, the former Fox Business Network anchor, said on her YouTube channel on Tuesday that she “didn’t buy” Cooper’s statement that he was leaving to spend more time with his family. She added that people usually mention family in their departing statements when their company can’t pay them enough or when their bosses want them out the door.

Regan said that Cooper’s exit raised the bigger question of what would happen with Weiss, adding that it seemed like she was an unpopular figure at CBS News.

“The inmates are running the asylum, shall we say, over there at ’60 Minutes’,” Regan said. “They’re just coming apart at the seams.”

Regan added that she admires the moves Weiss has made so far at CBS News, including bringing in “more diverse political voices.”

“In other words, you need some more right-leaning ones to go with all the lefties you get over there,” she said.
