History repeating itself, Lowell Bergman did the same when the tobacco scandal broke and 60 minutes parent company, Westinghouse then almost forced the story off the air. they simply didn’t want a potential lawsuit to disrupt their merger, which would’ve made them money – in short. It’s just about the money. It’s never about the truth.
REPEAL THE SMITH-MUNDT MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2012 NOWWWWW
FYI
SkyDance recently bought Paramount. SkyDance's CEO and majority owner is David Ellison. David Ellison like his father Larry Ellison, is a major donor and supporter of Trump.
(Larry Ellison owns Oracle which currently houses and manages TikTok in the US, and is Trump's first choice to buy TikTok. )
Lightweight Leave
Suspicious
I call bs. 60 minutes is fake news
I saw a story they did on the side affects of the covid vaccine. Glad i never got it 👍🙂
60 Minutes has always been one of the best. This is a sad day for your company.
Depression starts here with United Healthcare Medicare Plans
Criminal behavior and only gets to retire is crazy. Should be in prison.
He can't lie anymore so he quits.
60 minutes has always been a propaganda machine.
For the morons in the comments section: United Healthcare has been sponsoring 60 minutes' "Last Minute" segment since it's inception 2 years ago. They were paying 60 minutes bills through the Biden coverup and through the election and the deceptively edited video. If you were a 60 minutes watcher during this time, you were listening to news sponsored by United Healthcare the whole time. Your worldview is a joke.
60 mins used to be trustable and now you have lost all credibility with the people because you will only portray one side of the equation which of course is yours. The people voted against your candidate and yet you double down. How come 60 mins did not show any negative opinions on Biden?

They should all resign
Our free speech and free press are threatened by a genocidal small country in the Middle East.
🙁
He did it for 'you' did he? What about you liberals concerning the internet?
KEEP BEING AWARE OF WHY THOSE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT REAL PEOPLE'S LIVES AS THE WEALTHY ONES ARE MOST LIKELY THIEVES WORKING FOR OR ON
THE OTHER SIDE TO CREATE DESENSION W/O UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS WORLD TOGETHER. STAY WOKE ❤
60 minutes is pure propaganda. Pushed official narrative. Covered up Vince Foster
So they couldn't lie anymore so he resigned
Thank you, Mr. Owens. Keep speaking truth to power, 60 Minutes Team!
most loyal company
The humiliation of having to work with Leslie Stahl finally got to him. GodSpeed, Sir!
❤
My hat goes off to Bill❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Scott Pelley is just another biased Dan Rather clone. Here's hoping Elon Musk ends up with CBS and fires all of them.
I have the utmost respect for Bill Owens, Scott Pelley, and the 60 minutes crew. United Healthcare could go to H – E – double hockey sticks for all I care (which I don't). And they can take Acadia Healthcare when they go.
Mr Owens, thank you for your work
😂😂😂
I canceled my Paramount + account over this. Way to go 60 Minutes!!! 💪
Good no one watches "60" minute's anyway
It shouldn't be "hard" to be honest and truthful.
Bring back the thumbs down "Dislikes" counter. 👎
This was hilarious. 😂😂😂😂😂. I'm crying because I'm laughing so hard.
A very biased fear mongering dishonest show full of TDS.
Dump's mission to destroy true journalism scores another point.
I see where this is going, time to cancel my Paramount+ and unsubscribe. Sad to see another icon fall.
They've been lying since the 70s.
the corruption of trump is wild the fear people have of his hillbilly clan is wilder…from slavery to this administration…america is shameful… 400 years and counting…sponsored by UHC…cant make this up.
He got caught up at those Epstein parties with children.
Where was the “truth telling” during the Biden administration? If you are looking for sympathy you should call your Mother. Moms love their kids no matter what.
