\n

When I was growing up in the pre-cable, pre-streaming ’70s and ’80s, there was this thing called \u201cappointment television.\u201d It meant a lot of people were watching the same show at the same time, because it was only on once. If you missed it, you\u2019d have to wait for this thing called a \u201crerun\u201d in the summer, when there was almost no original programming. Instead, the three networks, which were all we had besides a local channel here and there, just recycled all of the shows from their seasons, while everyone took the summer off, as if Hollywood were a school.<\/p>\n

\u201cAppointment television\u201d in my house meant watching 60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> every Sunday night on CBS. My mother would order Chinese food (Jewish, New Jersey, \u2018nuff said), and my father would go pick it up, returning with a giant box stuffed with all of our Americanized favorites. It was the only meal of the week eaten in front of the TV as a family. We sat on the couch and ate off of small square side tables, each of which had a border of fake jewels, one of my earliest tactile memories.<\/p>\n

My younger brother and I weren\u2019t allowed to talk very much during 60 Minutes <\/em><\/em>because we were LEARNING. \u201cSha!\u201d my mother would hiss if we talked over Morley Safer or Harry Reasoner. \u201cQuiet!\u201d my father would yell if we dared say anything during Andy Rooney\u2019s closing segment, his favorite part of the show. I\u2019m now old enough to understand that my father wasn\u2019t smart enough to absorb a lot of what we were LEARNING, which is why he preferred Andy\u2019s pointed humor. Rooney smartly mocked dumb people, which included my father. Imagine if Donald Trump drove a delivery truck in Jersey; that\u2019s who we\u2019re talking about here.<\/p>\n

The lineup of correspondents may have changed and expanded over the years, but one thing about 60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> has always remained consistent: <\/p>\n

Telling the truth.<\/p>\n

60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> has a venerable track record of exposing lies, cover-ups, and scandals, as well as interviews and human interest stories that made Americans aware of the world at large. No matter the subject, there was never a time when the audience questioned the veracity of what they were being told and shown.<\/p>\n

But oh, how the mighty \u201cTiffany Network\u201d has fallen. <\/p>\n

Remember the heavily edited 60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> interview Trump finally did just before the 2024 election, after whining about the interview Kamala Harris did? You might recall CBS News paid Trump $16 MILLION after he whined that her interview, which had been full of facts, was \u201cdeceptively edited,\u201d causing him \u201cmental anguish\u201d and \u201cconfusion among voters.\u201d When Trump finally sat for the interview, 60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> ran one heavily edited version, while Trump released a heavily edited 73-minute version that was \u201cmore favorable.\u201d <\/p>\n

That was a glaring sign that we were headed down a very bad path, one paved with Putin propaganda.<\/p>\n

CBS\/Paramount is now under the control of a bunch of Trumptraitors, which is an astonishing thing to witness. The Ellison family has pledged loyalty to a convicted felon adjudicated rapist whose name appears in the Epstein Files nearly as much as Jeffrey Epstein’s. They pushed Stephen Colbert out and pressured CBS News journalists to placate Trump instead of pushing for the truth. <\/p>\n

But now the control of CBS News, the former home of Edward R. Murrow, was somehow handed to an inexperienced book editor whose biggest gigs were writing op-eds and reviews for The Wall Street Journal <\/em><\/em>and The Forward<\/em><\/em>, where she took a proud Zionist stance.<\/p>\n

Bari Weiss<\/u> is about as qualified to be the Editor-In-Chief of CBS News as I am to fly a rocket. Interestingly, she\u2019s been following me on Twitter forever, but she\u2019s never once responded to any of my tweets that challenge her loyalty to Trump over the United States of America. <\/p>\n

Weiss has just hired equally inexperienced tech blogger Nick Bilton to help her commit treason and lie to the American people via CBS. Bilton tweeted that it\u2019s \u201cthe honor of my career” to become the executive producer of 60 Minutes and then shared this tech bro-y introduction to his colleagues that set my skin on fire.<\/p>\n

Read more \u2018Bush league\u2019: Megyn Kelly turns on Bari Weiss over Scott Pelley\u2019s firing at CBS<\/a><\/p>\n

Poorly written propaganda isn\u2019t supposed to be anywhere near legitimate news networks. Nothing about this is normal, yet it\u2019s being normalized.<\/p>\n

Bilton is the one who officially fired longtime 60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday, all because Pelley has this annoying habit of maintaining his journalistic integrity.<\/p>\n

You can almost hear that in Trump\u2019s voice, can\u2019t you? Minus the bigger words, that is.<\/p>\n

Scott Pelley was fired because he refused to comply with orders from Weiss and Bilton to lie to protect Donald Trump. <\/p>\n

Read that again, because it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 2026 in the United States of America, but Weiss and Bilton are deploying Nazi tactics from the 1930s to silence the truth.<\/p>\n

Pelley responded to the firing by exposing the real reasons behind it. “New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story,\u201d Pelley said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.<\/p>\n

“Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelley has received tons of support online from his fellow journalists and other longtime admirers who respect him for standing up to the Trumpocrites. Meidas Touch has already offered him his own show on their network. Perhaps he can reunite there with Anderson Cooper and Cecilia Vega.<\/p>\n

What will 60 Minutes<\/em><\/em> be covering going forward? Segments about how we could all learn a lot from re-reading Hitler\u2019s Reichstag speech? <\/p>\n
