I usually love your posts. This one is barely in English. The typos and incorrect names are unbelievable. It's not Henderson Cooper - it's Anderson Cooper. It's Bari Weiss not Wise. It was written by a summer intern - from junior high school. It's not Ms. Bolton. I never write these kind of comments but this was really terrible. fwiw. Ruth H
The billionaire takeover of American journalism was never going to arrive with sirens and flashing lights; it came dressed as a merger agreement, escorted by lawyers, accountants, and public relations experts carrying polished talking points about efficiency and growth.
Somewhere along the way, the country's most feared newsrooms became line items on balance sheets, and 60 Minutes, the legendary program that spent decades shining floodlights into the dark corners of power, found itself standing in the middle of the transaction.
The danger is not that journalism suddenly vanishes, but that it is slowly transformed into a safer, more profitable creature that knows exactly where the boundaries are and never bites the hand signing the checks. In the old days, 60 Minutes made executives nervous; in the new order, critics worry that executives may be deciding how nervous the show is allowed to make anyone. That is the peculiar madness of modern America: the watchdog still wears the same collar, but the richest men in the room now own the leash.
I have to agree with that. And I agree with you all the time but whoever types these is not proof-reading.

I think it’s AI generated
It’s Weiss, not Wise.
Did AI write this?
This desperately needs a proof reader. Henderson Cooper? Barry Wise?
You are right. CBS is a collective noun. Takes singular verb. This is outrageous.
Everyone in 60 Minutes should quit and comeback together with an independent version. Call it 61 Minutes!
Maybe the "1st Minute"? Meaning they ARE actually (original) #1???
Perfect
Thanks!
please Please PLEASE - delete this post and rewrite without grammatical errors and misspellings - it is horrible
