Larry C. Ford met with scientists from South Africa's Project Coast in the 1980s to discuss chemical and biological warfare, Wouter Basson, who headed the project, told the program. He also passed a bag filled with cholera, typhoid, botulism, anthrax and bubonic plague to a South African military doctor during a meeting...

    <p>The Democrat Party is the party of entitlement, by entitlement, and for entitlement. The Democrat Party platform is all about entitlement whether it is a monetary entitlement such as food stamps or a license to take the life of the unborn called abortion. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Democrat spokespeople seemed surprised at the furor over the political hit piece on President Bush presented by 60 Minutes.</p>

    Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network. Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion. There is an expectation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network, Fox News Digital has learned.

    It can't be much fun working at CBS News these days, as their overwhelming liberal bias keeps getting exposed in embarrassing ways and they keep having to pay the price. Already, "60 Minutes" veteran producer Bill Owens resigned in a huff in April, and they’re in settlement talks with Donald Trump over their deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview just before the November presidential election. The latest casualty is the outlet’s News President Wendy McMahon, who shocked staffers Monday when she announced she too is jumping ship.. Ms. McMahon, whose full title was president of CBS News and Stations,...

    CBS News President and CEO Wendy McMahon announced Monday she was stepping down in another stunning move for the embattled company, Fox News Digital has confirmed. Her exit follows that of longtime "60 Minutes" producer Bill Owens, who quit last month because he felt he'd lost journalistic independence amid an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump. "Today, I am stepping down from my position as president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures. It has been one of the most meaningful chapters in my career. Leading this extraordinary organization has been the honor of a...

    Pressure is mounting on Paramount Global from both the inside and outside as it considers settling a high-stakes lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump. Lawyers for Trump and Paramount entered mediation last week, signaling the company’s potential willingness to resolve the whopping $20 billion suit filed by Trump accusing CBS News of election interference over its handling of the “60 Minutes” interview last year with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. That interview, which was part of a primetime election special that also featured her Democratic running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, earned an Emmy nomination last week for Outstanding Edited Interview....

    President Trump railed against CBS on Sunday night, saying the network should lose its broadcast license after “60 Minutes” aired segments on Ukraine and Greenland that the president said cast him in a negative light. “Almost every week, 60 Minutes … mentions the name ‘TRUMP’ in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend’s ‘BROADCAST’ tops them all,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post after watching Sunday’s “60 Minutes” broadcast. “They did not one, but TWO, major stories on ‘TRUMP,’ one having to do with Ukraine, which I say is a War that would never have happened if the...

    Some people just have to learn the hard way. Then there are people who just never learn. On October 6, 2024, 60 MINUTES broadcast an interview with Kamala Harris. Harris's response to a question about Israel from Bill Whitaker raised eyebrows, particularly those of Donald Trump. Trump demanded to see the unedited transcript and after a battle the transcript was released. It clearly showed that the broadcast interview had been edited in Harris's favor. The lawsuit stems from an exchange Harris had with “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t “listening” to...

    The 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards nominations are out, and it seems that everyone is talking about just one of them. The “Outstanding Edited Interview” category is hardly a common draw for public or even industry attention. However, one of this year’s nominees is CBS for its primetime special featuring then-Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. The interview is the basis for a $20 billion lawsuit by President Donald Trump against CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, alleging election interference due to the biased editing out of an embarrassing answer by...

    Last week, 60 Minutes’ executive producer Bill Owens resigned in protest — but Owens and the rest of the news program have never taken responsibility for their own corruption.Last week, Bill Owens, the executive producer of CBS’ flagship news program 60 Minutes, resigned, “citing encroachments on his journalistic independence,” per The New York Times. In the first show since the news of Owens’ resignation broke, 60 Minutes ended the program with a glowing, if dubious, tribute to Owens that has since gone viral online. The program took the unusual step of alleging unethical behavior by CBS’ corporate parent Paramount for...

    MSNBC host and former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki stridently defended her network's "all negative, all the time coverage of Donald Trump because it's what our viewers want. If we want them to loyally watch us we must be loyal to their values--the foremost of which is hatred for the man." "We're being realistic here," she insisted. "MSNBC is not a widely watched network. We have shrunk down to a narrowly circumscribed niche market for the most rabidly anti-Trump ideologues. They don't want balanced coverage. They have no toleration for anything that doesn't feed the flames of their antagonism for...

Yep, just when you think this story cannot get any more delicious, we discover that the serial liar who destroyed the reputation of 60 Minutes like no one since Dan Rather, is a literal crybaby.

    WASHINGTON — The White House has begun to notify Congress of its request to eliminate “all” public broadcasting funding and codify foreign aid cuts identified by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, The Post has learned. Major proposed clawbacks in the so-called “rescissions” plan include $1.1 billion in appropriated funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funds to PBS and National Public Radio, and $8.3 billion from USAID. A memo drafted by White House budget director Russ Vought — and requested by GOP congressional leaders — accuses CPB of a “lengthy history of anti-conservative bias” and cites “waste,...

    An upcoming 60 Minutes investigation into the drone sightings that took place toward the end of 2024 promises to reveal more about the government's knowledge and response to the still largely-unexplained phenomena. In a preview for the special, CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker speaks with Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, inquiring about the intelligence community's thoughts on the mysterious sightings and whether these could have been an attempt at espionage by a foreign power. "I am privy to classified briefings at the highest level," Wicker said. "I think the Pentagon and the National Security...

    An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning. “Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing. The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said. One of the bodies has been identified as...

    Adrienne Roark, CBS News’ president of editorial and newsgathering, is leaving the company for a senior position at Tegna. Her exit comes just seven months after being named president of the operation. Her departure comes at a time when CBS is facing a $20 billion lawsuit from President Trump, who has claimed CBS and “60 Minutes” deceptively edited an interview with Kamala Harris leading up to the 2024 election. Roark’s exit also comes as Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, and Skydance Media are moving closer towards a planned merger — a deal that was given the green light...
