Bill Owens, head of 60 Minutes, stated he would not apologize in the face of a lawsuit from President Trump against CBS for allegedly deceptive editing. The lawsuit targets an interview with Kamala Harris and is deemed baseless by legal experts. While CBS's parent company, Paramount, seeks a settlement possibly influencing a merger, this has caused turmoil within 60 Minutes. Journalists assert that an apology would undermine journalistic standards, as the editing aligns with typical practices to maintain narrative clarity in news broadcasting.

Many legal experts have described the lawsuit as far-fetched and baseless.
Journalists there believe a settlement would represent an extraordinary capitulation.
Many Paramount executives believe a settlement would increase the odds that the Trump administration will approve a pending multibillion-dollar merger.
