Superb @cbseveningnews.bsky.social coverage of Bill Owens leaving as producer of 60 Minutes. 👏 👏 #press #60Minutes

I despise what the #Trump #administration is doing to the #news #media. #60Minutes https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/22/media/60-minutes-executive-producer-resigns-independence/index.html

History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_Minutes

Bill Owens resigns as EP of 60 MINUTES, with these damning words: "Over the past months, it has 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."

That's where we are at, folks. Corporate media has dunned its nose in fealty to Trump. Any patina of "journalism" has been surrendered.

Silencing of VOA, not good.
