'60 Minutes', a pillar of broadcast journalism for 57 years, faces turbulence as executive producer Bill Owens announces his resignation. He cites restrictions on his editorial control, claiming he can no longer run the show in the manner he believes is best for its audience. Owens' departure occurs amidst legal challenges from former President Trump, who claims CBS deceptive editing affected his candidacy. The press's attention has turned towards company politics as Paramount seeks to negotiate amid ongoing lawsuits and potential sales.
"Over the past months, it has also 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."
"Paramount's controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, is eager to secure the Trump administration's approval for a multibillion-dollar sale of her company to Skydance, a company run by the son of the tech billionaire Larry Ellison."
