As Bari Weiss dismantles TV's most successful newsmagazine, it's worth asking what any of these moves achieve beyond furthering President Trump's goal of silencing media outlets which he dislikes.
I worked as a news anchor at a CBS affiliate for 14 years. I stopped watching 60 minutes LONG before I retired. It was bloated and biased... and Mr. Pelley's head was bigger than his resume'
A news anchor has a big ego - breaking news! Haven't met many who don't. As for the rest of your message, I have to mostly disagree. 60 Minutes isn't perfect - no journalism product is - but it is easily the best TV newsmagazine on commercial television. And its being dismantled, not because its ratings are bad or because its journalism is failing, but because its new owners want to compromise its content. THAT's what real bias looks like, my friend.
Pure vandalism of yet another great American institution. They value nothing.
60 minutes was still pretty good last night but I’m very worried 😟
It was a repeat.
