News organizations loathe covering their own scandals. This is how it’s done.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

So when they do block content, will more resign?

Not exactly a scandal, tho, was it?

In Norway, an owner taking editorial control would be prima facie illegal.

"The last minute of 60 minutes is sponsored by United Healthcare."
feels a little tone deaf.

Especially as whole-life healthcare isn’t exactly the message I’d want to give as the last seconds of a clock tick by in the background

Unfortunately it's very unlikely that CBS or its parent company lets the 60 Minutes news or production team decide who sponsors it.

It kinda just reinforces the point. 60 minutes and journalism in general are at the mercy of moneyed interests and the people who want to do journalism have no control over it, other than starting their own independent media company.

It was Pele's interview with President Zelenskyy that pissed trump off and worried paramount about the merger. Wonder if Scott will follow his example?

That last 4 seconds from United Healthcare was a pip. Unreal how they missed the mark on that one.

'The LAST minute of '60 minutes' is sponsored by United Healthcare. Irony is dead. America has a Fuhrer. The writing is on the wall. Your days are numbered Burn baby burn but, don't bother ever watching '60 minutes' again. Got it.
