I have not watched 60 Minutes in over 30 years. How does it stay afloat?
I think the walls are closing in. This could be the beginning of the end.
“honest journalism”
lol.
“....Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.”
IOW, he couldn’t accept the idea that HE WAS NOT THE BOSS...............
“... he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.”

In theory, on paper, it sounds nice.
In reality, what it is blatantly slathered with bias sauce.
If you did objective reporting, not only on what you cover, but what you don’t and how you cover it, you shouldn’t ever have to worry about a network getting nervous about your content. Either it’s lawyers or it’s managers.
What a network always wants is success and ratings.
If what you are doing isn’t helping to produce those, you have to ask yourself why!
What are your actual motives?
Independence? Yes
Honest journalism? NO
CBSGnus is a clown show, now. Edward R. Murrow would be PO’ed.
later
I cannot listen to that condescending POS.
did bill have anything to do with the harris interview?
Only benefit of watching 60 Minutes is it’s a lesson of what news isn’t about it’s more about propaganda and pimping the democrat party socialism and how evil money is unless your a democrat and have it lots and lots of it to help the comrades.
I don’t want Trump to settle his suit with CBS.
Neither does Pelley and his Jurassic colleagues.
Pelley’s comments are working for me in that regard.
My advice to Pelley, keep up the resistance dude, I like the end game here.
Pelley is upping his visibility on this because he wants to attempt to insulate himself for being next on the chopping block thinking they wouldn’t fire such a high visibility employee.
60Min was corrupt from the beginning. Nothing but left-wing partisanship. I watched it closely for the 1st year — yeah, I am that old. WUT’s yer point?
Anyhoo, in the 2nd year I noticed that every episode about any sort of STEM issue was a pack of lies. Haven’t watched it since.
This is an odd thing to say, as it implies that those who remain are not independent or honest.
The reality is that the Paramount bosses are concerned about a particular libel lawsuit, where it is pretty clear that 60 Minutes was not independent or honest. Therefore, you can kind of conclude that Bill Owens realizes that his days of fronting for the Democrat Party are coming to an end.
The MSM pretending to be fair and accurate is hilarious.
What independence? You work for a company. You have supers, rules, etc.
Independent to lie? Edit recordings to manipulate them to favor one side and harm others? What criteria?
The funny part is you call it journalism.
Scott Pelley is upset that they cannot lie as they have done for decades.
