CBS News ousts London bureau chief Claire Day after she clashed with Bari Weiss over Iran, Gaza coverage: sources
CBS News has ousted London bureau chief Claire Day after she clashed with editor-in-chief Bari Weiss over the network’s coverage of Iran and Gaza, The Post has learned.
A CBS source told The Post that Shayndi Raice, a newly hired foreign editor from the Wall Street Journal, will lead all international coverage across CBS News and will be based out of London starting May 11.
Behind the scenes, insiders said tensions have lately spilled over inside the London Bureau over Middle East coverage. **One freelance cameraman and editor had accused Day of running the London bureau like a “Hamas cell,” according to a source.**
On Monday morning, when addressing staff about her departure, Day asked the unnamed cameraman — who, according to a source, had claimed to have a “direct line” to Weiss — to step out of the room before she gave an “emotional” farewell and lauded “praise” on her team, a source said.
