Mmhm. The timing of the sudden announcement wasn't coincidental at all and directly tied to what else CBS was doing.
...with a much smaller platform and narrower reach.
Not the same and you know that.
Regardless of the topic, since Dan Lin took over, Netflix has started producing low- or mid-budget films with good scripts. So far, only producers like Millie Bobby Brown, Adam Sandler, and David Fincher, who have worked with Netflix for years, are spending a lot of money on their projects. Besides them, Narina is spending a lot of money. A few years ago, they released a mid-budget French shark film with quality French actors that was above a certain standard compared to the shark films made for TV or DVD in the US.Yeah, these are the guys folks were rooting for, to win the bidding war for Warner Bros...

I'm deeply concerned about the erosion of American journalism. But 60 Minutes has been sensationalistic tabloid junk for decades. I stopped watching it sometime in the 1980s for that reason. Holding up 60 Minutes as something we should be concerned about losing is a symptom of how far the erosion of news media has gone already, not really something we should be alarmed about for its own merits. A stroll through the list of controversies in the Wikipedia article on them, before posting, does not move the needle one millimeter on my opinion. It's a pretty inexcusable list of unforced consequential errors for any organization that would set a standard of journalism.

Scott Pelley has given an interview with the New York Times, in which he says Bari Weiss told 60 Minutes producers to make the Milwaukee ICE protests look "more violent" and ICE agents "more sympathetic".
