Devastating news. I wonder if Bill will pitch in to pay that $20 billion award.

Operation Mockingbird is still in control of the content at CBS.
This is just shuffling the deck of corporate muppets.

what a mealy mouth loon.

how can the show “ move forward” if it doesn't have him to make sure it is

” based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience,” ?

/s

note to loon.

free speech doesn't involve fabrication to impose what you think is “ right for the audience” to think.

[chajin]

Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent leftist decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ the revolution

fixed it

I have no respect for liberals, PERIOD!
They despise me. Lets see who wins.

Veteran 60 Minutes’ producer Bill Owens quits under pressure from Trump’s CBS lawsuit,

An insider said: “People are terrified now that Bill Owens is out .......means nobody is safe. I think he jumped before he was fired.” .........there are whispers that Lesley Stahl, on “60 Minutes” since 1991,” could likely step down.

Stahl, 83, has been at the center of Trump’s ire after her 2020 interview, cavalierly claiming that Hunter Biden’s salacious Laptop story “could not be verified”.......which was a huge assist to Democrat Biden.

Trump has called for Stahl and the program to apologize, but his requests were ignored.

"Inside the halls of CBS, there are whispers that Lesley Stahl, who has reported for “60 Minutes” since 1991,” also could likely step down and finally retire.

Stahl, 83, had been at the center of Trump’s ire after she interviewed him in 2020 and claimed that the Hunter Biden Laptop story could not be verified. Trump has called for Stahl and the program to apologize, but his requests were ignored."

The end of another error.

These old Liberals just can’t change, and the young Liberals are even more insane, though there are fewer of them, thank God.

Take a pike!

[vivenne]

They are “terrified”? What a bunch of drama queens.

[MikelTackNailer]

He should step down, confusing his task of pushing DNC propaganda for actual journalism.

[Gaffer]

This shows that “There’s big trouble here in River City.”

[BeauBo]

“People are terrified and the fact that Bill Owens is out means nobody is safe,”

Consequences.

Accountability.

Sunshine.

Just as things should be - equal justice.

CBS are CIA mouthpieces that have literally been liars for decades. It has been 20+ years since Rathergate over the faked Bush National Guard memos. It has been almost 40 years since their Audi unintended acceleration lies almost killed the brand in the USA. They have been deeply untrustworthy for a long, long time.

[WKUHilltopper]

Yeah, Bill? FO CIA pimp.

[sauropod]

Oh the pomposity!

[joshua c]

how dare cbs not let him commit fraud to push a political agenda
