In the last few days the real owner of 60 Minutes, Shari Redstone, has decided the show is in serious need of adjustment. Finally an adult has decided it's time for 60 minutes to start dealing in facts, not opinions. The result? The Executive Producer Resigns whining. A producer who John Nolte called a documented serial liar, and if he can't run the show his way, he'll take the highway:
"Over the past months, it has also 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. So...... (here comes the martyr complex).... I am stepping aside so the show can move forward." because "The show is too important to the country, it has to continue, just not with me as the Executive Producer,"
"The 60 Minutes brand has gone from being the pinnacle of
broadcast journalism to a show that is hated by half of the country and
dismissed by most of the other half. Ratings are down. Reputations are
demolished..........They are unambiguously biased against conservatives while showering
adoration (and favorable edits) on leftists. This may have worked in
days past when subtle bias was sufficient, but in today’s world it
doesn’t go unnoticed..
While
those who still have jobs in the Pravda media think they're so brave
and so stunning, in reality they're just grifters is a
"self-preservation mode trying to abandon a sinking ship ahead of the
fire and brimstone that is going to rain down the show and everyone
associated with it in the months to come". What's coming? A massive
.... massive... lawsuit by Donald Trump to the tune of $20 billion over an interview with Kamala Harris he claims was deceptively
edited, which even after all the evidence points to that's exactly what happened, the producer is still denying it happened.
"CNN reports that execs at Paramount Global, the parent company
of CBS, have discussed a settlement in hopes of winning FCC approval for
a proposed merger with Skydance Media, but the court battle is ongoing
for now."
A
settlement the executive producer fought against. But the left will
always be the left twisting history and reality, but it just ain't
playing well. There's a new sheriff in town, and things are changing,
and he's gonna make-em pay!
- Update 4/28/25 1:00 PM: Civil War at CBS - We wrote here about the resignation of Bill Owens, Executive Producer of CBS’s 60 Minutes–only the third such in the decades-long history of that program. Last night, at the end of the 60 Minutes broadcast, Scott Pelley went rogue, criticizing CBS’s parent company, Paramount, and blaming it for Owens’ departure: “‘60 Minutes’ host Scott Pelley calls out Paramount in shocking on-air attack on CBS’ parent company.” ........60 Minutes’ coverage has never been accurate and fair. The program has always been a platform for the left that has been willing to lie and falsify documents in service of the Democratic Party.......Here, “independence” can be translated as a free hand to distort the news in order to serve the Democratic Party. .........
- Update 4/28/25 6:35:PM: President Trump Torches “Corrupt, Compromised” Regime Media as “Enemy of the People”, Says Opinion Polls Are Rigged - In a fiery broadside against the seemingly hopelessly entrenched regime media establishment, President Donald Trump slammed the corporate press, accusing it of deliberately distorting public opinion polls to sabotage his administration and mislead voters. On the eve of his 100th day of his second term, an important milestone in any president’s tenure, Trump, in his usual fashion, didn’t hold back in the slightest, blasting what he called a “compromised and corrupt” press that’s become little more than a propaganda arm for globalist interests.............
In days gone by the Pravda media controlled the narrative and anyone who refused to be interviewed must have had something to hide, but here's what I observed about 60 Minutes going back many years ago. It was the 60 Minutes who was doing the hiding. And they're still doing it.
I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (“cut and pasted”) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the “News Division,” which must be licensed, to make her look “more Presidential,” or a least, better. It may also be a major Campaign Finance Violation. This is a stain on the reputation of 60 Minutes that is not recoverable - It will always remain with this once storied brand. I have never heard of such a thing being done in “News.” It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS! The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today! - Donald Trump
Update, 10/11/24, 1:00 PM: ‘Race and Culture Unit’: CBS goes old Soviet Russia-style with new department that approves stories before they’re allowed to air…
If Trump had been interviewed they would have sliced and diced his word also, but in total disregard for the truth.Mike Wallace did a piece on the Moonies, and they said they'd do it only if they showed the entire piece. 60 minutes refused, but they agreed to allow the Moonies to film the whole interview. I noted how the usually smug and confident Mike Wallace didn't show up that day. It was the uncomfortable and a bit nervous Mike who showed up. That was an enlightening moment for me, since it was clear, at least to me, that was because he knew they couldn't cut the interview to suit themselves without being exposed for their corruption. I knew then beyond any doubt Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes wasn't to be trusted, and neither is his son, Chris Wallace.
And this vile partisan corruption is ubiquitous in the media, and has always been so! In Andrea Widburg's article, CBS News continues its decades-long decline into the leftist muck, she starts out saying:
Until the day he retired, my parents revered CBS News’s Walter Cronkite. Combining dignity with a gentle flow of compassion and wisdom, and always with a warm twinkle in his eye, he informed Americans about events worldwide. Then he concluded the show by saying, “And that’s the way it is.” They told me how they wept with him when President Kennedy died, and they believed him when he lied about the U.S. victory in the Tet Offensive, a lie that effectively lost the Vietnam War for America. In those days, CBS News had gravitas, and no one knew understood was pushing propaganda along with its straight news reporting.
She goes on to say CBS interviewed a guy named Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose claim to fame, other than being a vicious antisemitic liar, is"
"..........blacks in America are among the world’s most abused people, victims of a vast “white-wing” (my word) conspiracy, and entitled to scads of money and preferential treatment to compensate for America’s endless sins...... Coates is a communist, he despises Jews and, therefore, the world’s only tiny Jewish nation....
She went on to say:
I also believe that leftists cannot bear the thought of a moral God before whom they’ll one day be called to account. The essence of communism is that they are the gods, and they will not accept competition. Jews, by their very existence, remind communists that they’re probably wrong.
He expected to get the usual disgusting and fallacious fawning interview for which these networks are now famous. That's not what he got, and he was totally unprepared for Tony Dokoupil who actually insisted he "defend those views about Israel." End result? He looked idiotic, and the management at CBS was outraged at the interview. Why? It was racist! And immediately imposed DEI indoctrination on the staff. Let's try and get this right once, just once, please. Truth isn't racist, it's just the truth!
The big take away from all this is these "news" organizations? They've been lying to America for decades, and now America knows it. They're being exposed daily as nothing more than leftist propaganda machines, and are now collapsing under the weight of all their lies.
