I've learned that Elisabeth Hasselback, a former Fox & Friends co-host and conservative commentator on The View, will be guest-hosting an hour of the CBS morning show next week from Monday to Wednesday — though she won't be doing hard news segments. It's being seen internally as a sort of "try out"

Sources tell me that Scott Pelley got into a heated back-and-forth with new '60 Minutes' executive producer Nick Bilton and managing editor Charles Forelle in today's meeting. He demanded to know why his colleagues were fired, prompting Bilton to say he wouldn't be intimidated and quickly leave.

Also in the filings: Tucker Carlson called Trump a “total piece of shit," Sean Hannity said Covid "masks should have been embraced" by Trump, and (wrongly) predicted he would concede the election: “That will happen. I know it for a fact.” www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...
