The Pravda Media Continues to Collapse

By Rich Kozlovich 

In the last few days the real owner of 60 Minutes, Shari Redstone, has decided the show is in serious need of adjustment.  Finally an adult has decided it's time for 60 minutes to start dealing in facts, not opinions.   The result?  The Executive Producer Resigns whining.  A producer who John Nolte called a documented serial liar, and if he can't run the show his way, he'll take the highway:

"Over the past 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, right for the audience. So...... (here comes the martyr complex).... I am stepping aside so the show can move forward." because "The show is too important to the country, it has to continue, just not with me as the Executive Producer," 

Okay, let’s get over this martyr claptrap putting the blame on the Trump administration and that tired old leftist meme, it's the common people against the big corporate tyrants trying to prevent the truth from coming out.  Yet none of the stories were blocked, and they admit they're not being censored, but the owners think they're in serious need of supervision, and that's just intolerable.   In point of fact they've been in need of oversight for a long time:

 

"The 60 Minutes brand has gone from being the pinnacle of broadcast journalism to a show that is hated by half of the country and dismissed by most of the other half. Ratings are down. Reputations are demolished..........They are unambiguously biased against conservatives while showering adoration (and favorable edits) on leftists. This may have worked in days past when subtle bias was sufficient, but in today’s world it doesn’t go unnoticed..

 

While those who still have jobs in the Pravda media think they're so brave and so stunning, in reality they're just grifters is a "self-preservation mode trying to abandon a sinking ship ahead of the fire and brimstone that is going to rain down the show and everyone associated with it in the months to come".   What's coming?   A massive .... massive... lawsuit by Donald Trump to the tune of $20 billion over an interview with Kamala Harris he claims was deceptively edited, which even after all the evidence points to that's exactly what happened, the producer is still denying it happened. 

 

"CNN reports that execs at Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, have discussed a settlement in hopes of winning FCC approval for a proposed merger with Skydance Media, but the court battle is ongoing for now."  

 

A settlement the executive producer fought against.  But the left will always be the left twisting history and reality, but it just ain't playing well.  There's a new sheriff in town, and things are changing, and he's gonna make-em pay! 

• Update 4/28/25 1:00 PM:  Civil War at CBS - We wrote here about the resignation of Bill Owens, Executive Producer of CBS’s 60 Minutes–only the third such in the decades-long history of that program. Last night, at the end of the 60 Minutes broadcast, Scott Pelley went rogue, criticizing CBS’s parent company, Paramount, and blaming it for Owens’ departure: “‘60 Minutes’ host Scott Pelley calls out Paramount in shocking on-air attack on CBS’ parent company.” ........60 Minutes’ coverage has never been accurate and fair. The program has always been a platform for the left that has been willing to lie and falsify documents in service of the Democratic Party.......Here, “independence” can be translated as a free hand to distort the news in order to serve the Democratic Party. .........
• Update 4/28/25 6:35:PM: President Trump Torches “Corrupt, Compromised” Regime Media as “Enemy of the People”, Says Opinion Polls Are Rigged - In a fiery broadside against the seemingly hopelessly entrenched regime media establishment, President Donald Trump slammed the corporate press, accusing it of deliberately distorting public opinion polls to sabotage his administration and mislead voters. On the eve of his 100th day of his second term, an important milestone in any president’s tenure, Trump, in his usual fashion, didn’t hold back in the slightest, blasting what he called a “compromised and corrupt” press that’s become little more than a propaganda arm for globalist interests.............
