Good quote from later part of article: "CBS News defines the term "legends in their own minds." Pelley is clearly thinking of himself as in the line of Edward R. Murrow, "speaking truth to power," as Murrow intoned the fake news that there were no communist spies inside the U.S. government, that was crazy Joe McCarthy talk."

Lol, we certainly received hard evidence of that by about 1991.

60 minutes has been propaganda for decades and I swallowed it up until Rush opened my eyes to the liberal media.

Much like SNL, just because it’s been on tv forever doesn’t mean it’s particularly trustworthy quality programing.

60 Minutes has not been relevant since the early 1980s. These days, its just another Leftist rag of a publication reflexively parroting Democrat talking points. I’m surprised that we haven’t had a “Trump is Hitler” 60 Minutes segment yet.

If 60 Minutes’ producer Bill Owens was heroic for resigning to protect honest journalism, what does it say that Pelley is staying on the payroll?

Pelly doesn't address that.

Shoring up the constant flow of propaganda. Making it credible is essential to its success.

LOL! What a complete pant load. Talking heads say what the bosses want. The people that believe the garbage Pelley is spewing are dying off in droves.

Pelley got fired from CBS Evening News because of his bias and terrible ratings. He’s probably next to be fired from 60 minutes.

Adding to their libeling, without evidence, of Trump, “...... Merger requires approval of Trump administration.” I hope his attorneys introduce this into the libel trial.

Since Leslie Stahl is 83, I guess the so-called correspondents would let the young fella of 67 speak for them.

60 Minutes is the Jurassic Park of Fake News.
