In other media news, longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley rebuked CBS’s parent company Paramount at the end of Sunday night’s broadcast. This came days after the show’s top producer, Bill Owens, resigned, saying he could no longer make independent decisions about the show. This is part of Pelley’s remarks.
Scott Pelley: “Stories we pursued for 57 years are often controversial — lately, the Israel-Gaza war and the Trump administration. Bill made sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough that way. But our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.”
