Paramount’s pending Skydance merger and Trump’s “60 Minutes” lawsuit have created turmoil at a news division that’s already weathered plenty of changes
The exit of “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens in the face of Trump administration pressure has roiled CBS News and alarmed journalists, fueling speculation about where the organization goes from here, especially if there are further concessions to clear the path to parent Paramount Global’s merger with Skydance Media.
Although she refused to discuss the specific situation at “60 Minutes,” Paramount Chairman Shari Redstone didn’t help matters Tuesday night, when she told TheWrap at an event in New York that freedom of the press involves “telling both sides of the story, giving the facts, not giving opinions.

CBS would burst into flames if they did that.

A line-up only slightly less repulsive than The View.
buncha lefty ******s
What a congress of a-holes. The room probably reeked of imbecility and unfounded self-righteousness
This seems inaccurate.
Not sure I can pick an actual ‘reporter’ out of that lineup.
I wonder how much the USAID money cutoff is wrinkling the carpet under their feet.
Since about 2009 has there even been a legitimate 60 minutes reported news story that wasn’t a CIA staged mockingbird fabrication.
All very true! But don't forget the lingering scent of stale urine, silent farts, and halitosis.
I haven’t watched “60 minutes” since 1969, when they falsely edited a segment interviewing my boss at the time. They actually played his answer to a question properly, but then re-shot the question after the interview was over in such a way that it made his answer appear to mean the opposite of what he intended.
I have never watched the show since then. I did watch the most of an interview they did with Rush Limbaugh once, but since he had a far larger audience than they had, they didn’t dare try to falsify it.
Basically what they did with the Harris interview. Cut and paste is much easier now than 1969.........
