This is so important. No pretenses. Speak the truth.

Because it’s time now to start ensuring that record is crystal clear.

Reposted from 60 Minutes

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.

Loved this until…sponsored by United Healthcare at the end🫠

grammacappy.bsky.social•2 days ago

He will be missed. Can you rely on 60 minutes to bring us the stories anymore?

highestbitter.bsky.social•2 days ago

We need fearless journalism & truth tellers, NOT cowards like Paramount! CBS feedback form if you want to contact them to raise some Cain about cowering to Trump and forcing out the 60 minutes Executive Producer. Paramount is over CBS

Cut of their subs cash. Their advertisers. Their shareholders.

So incredibly dystopian that it ends with a United Healthcare promo

gwilsonian.bsky.social•2 days ago

At the end of the video, we find out that the new era of 60 Minutes without Bill Owens has been brought to us by United Healthcare

lamurphy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you. I noticed that right off.

…and the Widow Redstone.

deroses.bsky.social•2 days ago

Crazy timeline note: the last minute was sponsored by United Healthcare.

rakela44.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hope this is true and he can continue his free journalism

Goodbye America. Seems you were always a mirage and now the real you is coming to light.😪

On Tuesday, Trump will be In Michigan to "celebrate" 100 days.

Let's show up, Michiganders!

Isn’t United Health care the one that used AI to reject people’s insurance claims? I guess everything is ironic these days…

bstaples.bsky.social•2 days ago

Amen

mediocrecoder.bsky.social•2 days ago

Meh - I’ll believe them when they vote with their feet.
Dude quit because the corporate overlords are going to control the narrative ( more than they already do), so whatever they put out going forward is sus.

Whoever stays on is ok with that.

arch45.bsky.social•2 days ago

He just announced the death of that program. With Paramount hovering over its programming, censoring its content to accommodate Trump, we can no longer trust what we see to be honest, unbiased reporting. RIP 60 Minutes.

knudl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sixty Minutes lasted all these years because viewers come to trust the objectivity of the stories and the judgment of what stories were important enough to broadcast. Let us hope that there will be no compromises on either in the future.

karenwootton.bsky.social•2 days ago

I interpret that closing as a warning to no longer trust any "news" via Paramount. It's submitted to the fascist regime.

troublingtome.bsky.social•2 days ago

Paramount take note
You like $$$$$
Not Journalism

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•2 days ago

But, 60 Minutes will be compromised. How can we watch it?

cairbear00000.bsky.social•2 days ago

This was a line in the sand. Here we go…

stanzman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good job..now next week do a whole story about the war on honest journalism

meganbrady.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wait, part of 60 Minutes is sponsored by UNITED HEALTHCARE? Oh man

gylc.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ms. Ifill, you are a lawyer (and I am certain you've watched westerns and criminal movies). You have to know that if you are going to pull a gun, you intend to use it. If you pull the gun and don't use it, it will be taken away from you. Meaning, Judges have continued to threaten to use their power

gylc.bsky.social•2 days ago

but have done NOTHING. Meanwhile, trump and MEGA have ignored Judges decisions (including Supreme Court) and are now arresting Judges. When are the Judges going to have court Marshalls arrest trump lawyers and hold them accountable for disobeying orders? Put them in prison with release $ 1,000,000

NPR and PBS become more important with each passing day.

westernwriter.bsky.social•2 days ago

…”that honest journalism requires.”

karenwootton.bsky.social•2 days ago

We'll be back next week but don't trust us going forward . . .

princesstoothfairy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Need to boycott this show now

terg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Another mensch shows us the way.

gordonschneider.bsky.social•2 days ago

But can we trust Scott and his fellow reporters now, not that they are bad reporters, but because their bosses can’t be trusted? That’s a very hard call if you ask me.

savagetwin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Clear as my mother's windows after cleaning. I have stayed woke. I miss some things & depend on you & others.
Ms. Ifill, the morally corrupt evil is insidiously occurring. Other serious things r occuring. Distraction! The promise of Project 2025 is marching on. Real trouble. TU 4 this announcement.

zachfuture.bsky.social•2 days ago

More evidence that everything the felon-in-chief touches dies.
Sumner Redstone would be ashamed of Shari.

Someone with integrity

It’s unconscionable that the Republicans are letting our country burn to the ground.

askgma.bsky.social•2 days ago

They will choke on the ashes too. Guess they haven’t thought ahead.

This is a big loss. I support all of the 60 Minutes staff as
they transition to new leadership.

ursaonyourleft.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you have not already read this, it’s interesting and important. How Putin dismantled the Free Press and installed state media.

xelamercedes.bsky.social•2 days ago

This segment brought tears to my eyes. Not entirely as an expression of sorrow. Also with pride. In this time when courage and integrity are in short supply, Bill Owens' decision is deeply moving.
He embodies the best of America.

sk8rbelle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you Scott Pelley, and thank you Bill Owens. My Heroes today.
Along with the Sit-In-ers

Edward R. Murrow is rolling in his grave. The death of a great news organization.

Maybe BEFORE the election next time?
