Straight Arrow News on MSNCBS names new ā60 Minutes' head as criticism of Paramount grows
CBS News named a new executive producer of "60 Minutes" amid questions about the program's editorial independence after parent company Paramount paid $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump.
Trumpās post comes days after CBS came under renewed scrutiny for cancelling Trump critic Stephen Colbertās āThe Late Show.ā
The FCC still hasnāt approved the Paramount-Skydance merger, which may be where Colbert joins the saga. The cheeky host roasts Trump regularly on his show and is far more political than David Letterman, whom he replaced in 2015. On July 14, Colbert called the Paramount payment to Trump involving "60 Minutes" a ā big, fat bribe ,ā on CBSās own air.
Paramount itself also wasn't safe from the ire of Parker and Stone. The episode also features a pair of animated "60 Minutes" anchors covering protests as they nervously praise Trump and insist they don't agree with the protesters, intimating that they might be worried he will sue again.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called on Paramound and Skydance to respond to questions about the details of a $36 million settlement agreement with Trump.
