Carlisle worked on 60 Minutes, a television show which has seen a series of longstanding talent leave – whether by resignation or by termination. Reporter Cecilia Vega was fired from the show just last month. "Reporting teams have held back on submitting pitches about important news topics out of fear of internal repercussions," she claimed. The dismissal came after a Trump-critical feature she worked on was cut hours before it had been scheduled to air. During the conversation, Pelley allegedly expressed his dissatisfaction with new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.
