It came after his producer suddenly resigned 😳 He didn’t hold back, see it in comment 👇
In a bold on-air moment, 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley criticized CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for interfering with the show’s editorial independence. Pelley linked longtime producer Bill Owens’ resignation to growing corporate control, particularly around coverage related to Donald Trump and a business deal involving his administration.
Pelley warned that Paramount’s increasing influence is compromising honest journalism and threatening the integrity of 60 Minutes. His comments highlight the growing tension between journalistic freedom and corporate interests across the media industry.
