“60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens abruptly quit on Tuesday, citing a loss of journalistic independence as CBS’ parent company, Paramount Global, looks to settle a lawsuit from President Trump. “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 decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience,” Owens wrote in a memo to staff that was obtained by The Post. He added: “So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle,...

CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan was taken aback by a Republican congressman stating he supports the “purging of people throughout the State Department.”In an interview on Sunday morning, Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) — who chairs the House Foreign Affairs committee — said that he’s on board with a purge of State Department personnel.SNIPBrennan was visibly surprised by the remark.“I’m sorry, can I follow up on what you just said there?” Brennan said. “You want to authorize purging of State Department personnel? What does that mean exactly?“Well, if you want to take a look at the State Department, where...

Wow….they’re making the Hurricane Helene question about CLIMATE CHANGE,” Turning Point USA’s Savanah Hernandez wrote. “Americans lost their lives, their homes were destroyed and in response, the Biden/Harris admin sent billions of dollars overseas. “And the moderators immediately go to climate change…pathetic.” “The CBS moderators are even worse than the ABC. This is horrible. Would you deport children from parents. EVERY QUESTION is loaded for Democrats

Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Republican attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris are “offensive” because she is an “icon.” Anchor Margaret Brennan asked, “Let’s go national here. Nikki Haley, in particular, has focused on the Vice President Kamala Harris and a lot of her rhetoric and she’s done it as a way pointing to President Biden’s age. The RNC is posting frequently clips from her speeches, flubs and they’re really taking aim at her. Why have Republicans calculated it is a good strategy and that the vice president makes Democrats vulnerable?”

Washington — Democratic Rep.

For a long time, I sympathized with Dr. Anthony Fauci. There he was, trying to deal with a pandemic caused by a virus no one knew much about. Sure, he was often wrong about pandemic-related matters, but so were plenty of others, on both sides of the political spectrum and in between, who opined on these subjects. Everyone was shooting in the dark.But at some point — possibly because of all the attacks on him, some of which were over-the-top, possibly because of a personality flaw or maybe old age — Fauci decided to cast himself as Mr. Science. Criticize...

According to a new CBS poll released Sunday, 37% of parents say they will vaccinate their 5-to-11-year-olds right away, and a quarter of parents say they will wait and see. Another 35% said they would not get their kids vaccinated.Gottlieb said he is encouraged by the poll numbers, citing the benefits of getting young children vaccinated while also acknowledging that many parents still have questions about vaccination."There's a lot of parents that still have a lot of questions around vaccination.

Even though ABC spent part of their Sunday marveling at chants of “we love you” at massive Trump rallies, CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan thought she was confronting Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel with accusations that President Trump’s supporters weren’t enthusiastic about him. Not only was Brennan schooled by McDaniel, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell later warned of the “shy Trump voter” gaining courage. In the midst of her contentious interview with the RNC Chairwoman, Brennan recalled that McDaniel had invested a lot of funding into the Republican Party ground game all across the country. But, without...
