• Bill Owens, 60 Minutes producer, has resigned

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 22 19:01:31 2025
    60 Minutes offended Trump for an edited interview with Kamala Harris to
    show her in a less unfavorable light. In a baseless lawsuit, Trump sued
    CBS for $20 billion lawsuit. The Redstone family, which privately holds
    the Viacom holding company (whatever it's called this week), wants to
    sell out to Skydance, owned by the son of Larry Ellison. The media has
    been speculating that the Redstones are sucking up to Trump like
    everybody else so that the federal government won't regulate the merger
    to death.

    The lawsuit has been neither dismissed nor settled.

    Bill Owens claims he's under too much corporate pressure to produce 60
    Minutes independently. He has resigned.

    I never bothered to track down the interview but if he did what he's
    accused of, I'm not seeing that he was behaving like an unbiasted
    journalist.

    Sure, but that's not illegal so how does that give Trump any legal grounds to sue them?

    If they'd edited an interview to make *him* look bad, sure. But editing it to make someone else look good? How does he have standing to sue over that?

    Well, there you go feigning ignorance when you've lost the debate again!

    No one who watched the original footage can objectively claim those "edits" were for "clarification"; in fact, part of the response came from another question, if memorey serves.

    It reminds me of the time 60 Minutes creatively editted an interview with Clinton to make him look good and then twenty years later showed the original footage which did not.

    That's such a legal stretch that there's no way it overcomes CBS's 1st Amendment rights.
