Gone in 60 minutes | Seaside

It should have been the last straw. The new failure – Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton – chased the legend 60 minutes reporter Scott Pelley. Why? Because he tried to suspect that CBS had put sycophants in its top positions. Instead of standing together, authors Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and Jon Wertheim announced in a memo for employees to stay to maintain the program. “We don’t want to see it 60 minutes die,” they said.” The children entered Weekend at Bernie’s they had the same responsibility.

The canary in the media coal mine isn’t sick, it’s burning bones.

The remaining three applicants to 60 minutes said they were “deeply disappointed” by the recent shooting, which you should read in Maine Sen’s tone. Susan Collins says she is “deeply concerned” about any fraudulent scheme. The authors of the letter added: “Media rooms should not be treated as tyrannies.” Well, there is something we can agree on. The room of the good news should raise its reporters on good days, and Protect them in evil days. Everything else is fear and indifference.

The brutal media house is what Pelley is against when he allegedly criticized management at a staff meeting and said that editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is “killing. 60 minutes.” Weiss he has already shown that he is serious about journalismso it was generous of him to allow new things 60 minutes Executive producer Nick Bilton steals some of the spotlight.

Bilton is perhaps best known his book Changing Twitter. He has worked The New York Times and Nonsense Fairand as a screenwriter. Traditional journalism didn’t appear on the resume until it was written by Weiss 60 minutes. But the lack of knowledge cannot explain the shame of his letter of abolition now to Pelley.

You can’t walk into a room with a head and demand respect, but that’s how Bilton is doing it. Her demands on Pelley are clothed and desperation created me I feel embarrassed just reading it. They worry about decorating like a classic internet sign While he comes across as a big dork – he says he was “covered up” by Pelley “in an abusive and insulting way.” Bullshit. If you can’t show up to the newsroom to prepare for tough questions from journalists under your care, you have no bad business to be there.

The inadequacy of the front line at CBS is dire. If Nick Bilton is a rotten egg, it’s because he rises to adulthood – like a failed matryoshka doll. whose last appearance is David EllisonLarry Ellison’s son is the CEO of CBS parent Paramount Skydance. (Ellison he says he signed it on Pelley’s shooting.) This family is so bad that it makes me worry about the old-fashioned evolution of the Murdochs.

Disclosure: James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch, I just bought half of our parent companyVox Media. Which brings me to the reality – we are in serious trouble, if the media continues to be dominated by a small and powerful group of oligarchs. Especially when they are comfortable with managers who prefer honesty and control over things like freedom of speech. ABC and Disney they are fightingfor now, but CBS is down. There’s no reason the network put Stephen Colbert, one of the kindest and most productive people on television, on the air unless you consider that his bosses are just sucking up to Donald Trump. By the way, that’s a pretty stupid long-term plan, but maybe these guys are just looking at how much loot they can get in the next few years before this empire of incompetence falls. Or they just want to pass to Warner Bros.

Pelley did not mince words in a statement he wrote after the shooting. It is said that the new owner of the network is destroying the legacy of 60 minutes “Obviously to get a moment of favor with the Trump administration.” Worse: Pelley says administrators instructed her to “insert lies and bias into a politically sensitive issue,” and to “include unsubstantiated claims.” Surprisingly, none of this is addressed in the management’s memo to the CBS staff.

This all comes as radio stations are on life support across the country. Even the local movement is becoming a horror chamber for Trumpian voices, for the most part due to the Nexstar-Tegna partnership – something that was sponsored by the FCC that lost the plot. You know what’s worse than social media integration? State language law. The FCC is now more than happy to regulate speech as long as it is necessary to intimidate speakers who are unpopular with the Trump administration.

Organizations like The End Show and 60 minutes they are no longer untouchable. This should scare every American. If scale and profit can’t save our strongest voices, what happens to the rest of us?
