![The network's top editor, Bari Weiss, expressed a high level of interest in the story on an editorial call Wednesday morning, according to staffers who listened.
"There was big internal dissension about the
'internal bleeding' report here last night," the
CBS News staffer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said. "It was viewed as a thinly-veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who'd carry it online."
"Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin's justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources," said a second network staffer, who was also not authorized to comment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:it4vfrn3hgrb3hsvvwfltqqa/bafkreifehbfqwnd7wxwqe3ywb42uni2stbz4ifikyujgzah4dmkvfx6isu@jpeg)

Heavily underwater in her attempt to become NY governor, Rep. Elise Stefanik is trying to erase her history with the NY Young Republican Club entirely, after they invited both overt racists AND German white supremacists to their annual party.

This is a photo from the Vanity Fair article. Notice how they have to arrange it so Stephen Miller is on the end, so it isn’t obvious that there is no reflection of him on the mirrored table.🧛
