Let's start with a premise. 60 Minutes is crap and has been for some time. Back in 2017 I said this about Scott Pelley:
The worst politically biased hack in the news todayLet's look at the garbage they posted today and broadcast yesterday and then we'll put it in perspective. They put Donald Trump in their crosshairs.
President Trump, back in the White House for less than a month, has closed agencies, frozen spending that Congress mandated by law, and challenged the breadth of rights guaranteed by the Constitution.Yesterday
President Trump says USAID is rife with fraud. But Andrew Natsios, a Republican former administrator of USAID, calls that “utter nonsense.” Natsios says USAID is “the most accountable aid agency in the world.”Really? From Donald Trump
That was just for starters on 60 Wasted Minutes.
JD Vance lamented the backsliding on free speech seen in Germany today and in trying to disprove it unwittingly validated his allegations.
60 Minutes trotted out two "victims of Trump" to whine about their plight of being fired from the USAID. But at least one wasn't even an employee of USAID
Fact check : Kristina Drye wasn’t even USAID employee. she worked for XLA and Jefferson Partners that providied speechwriting services for USAID Administrator Samantha Power. pic.twitter.com/dKOrC5Nnma

And it turns out she has some baggage
60 Minutes aired an interview of 2 USAID Contractors last night—one was Kristina Drye—the same woman ABC interviewed who confessed to taking “incriminating books” with her after @DOGE entered the USAID building. Strangely, Kristina Drye has deleted her X account. pic.twitter.com/rMBantPFMb

60 Minutes has never shown this kind of "empathy" for others who were sacrificed by Biden:
The 60,000 people who got cut loose when the Keystone XL pipeline extension was canceled after Biden took office know the feeling. Except they weren't bureaucrats. They were skilled construction workers and engineers.Nor for the people of North Carolina
60 Minutes has never done a special on the jobs lost from the floods in North Carolina and the devastation it caused those families but has the audacity to tell us to pity overpaid bureaucrats who got fired for doing the jobs taxpayers didn’t need them to do. People who produce… pic.twitter.com/E0sbMx3ff1

But if wondered why Margaret Brennan disintegrated and 60 Minutes went total propaganda, it's because of this.
Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Thursday against CBS, demanding $10 billion in damages over the network’s “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The suit was immediately ridiculed by First Amendment attorneys, who called it “frivolous and dangerous.”
In the complaint filed in US District Court in the Northern District of Texas, Trump’s legal counsel claimed CBS’ “60 Minutes” interview with Harris and the associated programming were “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference” intended to “mislead the public and attempt to tip the scales” of the presidential election in her favor.
The lawsuit also says Trump is seeking for the network to “publicly release the full, unedited transcript of the [interview].”
After the release of the transcript, Trump has them by the short hairs and has jacked up his demands:

CBC is Leftist activists, not journalists. Now it makes sense.
CBS - Couldn’t Be Sh*ttier.
CBS lost me with Walter “Praise Satan” Cronkite
Thanks for posting. I would have missed this.
Dr John is one of my heroes.
He breaks down a situation with ease and great humor.
-In my condescending Andy Rooney voice.
Or just their brand?
Margaret Brennan should be fired for her absurd comment that “Free speech led to the Holocaust.” That is one of the stupidest things ever spoken on television.
CBS - Couldn’t Be Sh*ttier.

the differance between an ANAList and a URINalists is about the span of a taint.
and cbs has all 3
spit.
I hope they keep her.
Some say CBS shot itself in the foot by doctoring the Harris interview. No, it blew its entire leg off. The FCC TV license issued to CBS states that they are to serve the public interest and “to inform the public” on local and national issues of importance to those audiences. Because CBS not only failed to do that, it attempted to affect a national Federal election by deceit and misinformation. CBS should not only have its license revoked, it should be sued for malfeasance.
Notice anything about these descriptions?
They are vague, not specifically defined and above all immeasurable. There's no way to tell if they were effective. How do you measure "social cohesion?"
It may, in fact, be true that USAID was the most accountable aid agency in the world. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t still rife with fraudulent payments or corruption. I’m sure all the aid agencies suck at accountability.
People won’t buy a bad product
Oh boy! Samantha World Power and her agents are the vwictims, and Trump and his allies are the vwilliains!
Not!
IncPen, a man ahead of his time!
I quit watching the Clinton Broadcasting System(CBS), National Broadcasters for Clinton(NBC),and All Bsh.t for Clinton(ABC) guess when?
MSM has become the propaganda arm of the Democrat
party. So I’ve ignored them for these many years.
I’ll listen to AlJerzza before I’d listen to a
American MSM station out of New York.
Why?
I know AlJerzza lies, to support a cause,
but the USA MSM won’t admit they lie and will do anything
to support the Democrat party.
In a proper, future history book, the entire history of cBS should be just these three words:
