‘It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward’

Wendy McMahon, the president and CEO of CBS News and Stations, is quitting the network amid an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” interview that allegedly was deceptively edited to favor former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 White House race.
“Today, I am stepping down from my position as president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures,” McMahon wrote in a memo to staff on Monday.
“It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. It’s time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership. I have spent the last few months shoring up our businesses and making sure the right leaders are in place; and I have no doubt they will continue to set the standard.”
