The legendary correspondent of “60 minutes” Scott Pelley launched an amazing attack in the air on his predecessor bosses to interfere with the program coverage.
Peley went a deceit at the end of Sunday evening episode during what seemed to be a simple tribute to Bill Owens, the long “60 -minute” executive manufacturer who left last week on the intervention of the company’s heavy hands.
“Bill resigned on Tuesday – it was difficult for him and difficult for us,” Pelley said in his closing speeches for the show he has worked for more than 20 years.
“But he did it for us – and you,” he told the viewers – then suddenly suggested that Owens’s exit could end the coverage era being “correct and right”.
“Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to finish a union,” he said, stressing that he needs approval by the Trump administration.
“Paramount began to oversee our content in new ways,” he said.
Peley said that while “none of our stories is blocked”, Owens “thought he lost the independence that honest journalist requires.”
“No one here is happy about it. But in his resignation, Bill testified one thing – he was the right person to lead the ’60 minutes” all the time. “
Owens left after a $ 20 billion trial set up by President Trump accusing the “Illegal and Illegal Behavior” program of what the president claims was the fraudulent editing of a 60 -minute interview with the then Vice President, Kamala Harris last October.
“In recent 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,” for the audience, “Owens wrote in a memorandum last week received from the post.
“So after defending this show – and what we stand – from every corner, over time with everything I could, I’m leaving aside so that the show can move forward,” he wrote.
Trump has requested a withdrawal and even suggested that the CBS transmission license be revoked.
The post previously reported that the shareholder of control Paramount Shari Redstone, who is involved in the solution talks between the Trump administration and her company, had wanted Owens to go.
Owens, who is the third executive manufacturer of the 57-year-old show, was replaced by the temporary Tanya Simon, the executive editor and daughter of the late 60-minute correspondent Bill Simon.
