New York Post Editorial Committee CBS News has declared that by cutting back on its relationship with “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens, they can begin to fix the “left-wing propaganda issue.”
Earlier this week, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Kerr knocked on CBS News' act following the release of an unedited transcript of a network of “60 minutes” interviews with then-President Kamala Harris. I did.
It showed that CBS News aired only the first half of her responses about “60 minutes” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the “60 minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker. However, only the second half of her reaction was aired during the Prime Time Special.
In October, President Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News, alleging election interference in processing a “60-minute” interview, supporting democratic rivals through deceptive editing days before the election They criticized the network.

“60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens.
The New York Post editorial board believes that changes will be needed in CBS News as a result.
“Like too many legacy media operations, partisan corruption needs to be resolved. You can start by booting '60 minutes' head producer Bill Owens.
“Most obviously, to slice and dice Harris' interview, we cut down words and Sarad's answers one after another into seemingly consistent responses,” the editorial committee continued. “Owens told staff that editing the interview was “completely problematic” and “the company knows it won't apologise for what we did.” ”
The Post Editorial Committee said it “conceals the true (inconsistent!) nature of a favorable presidential candidate.”
“And if CBS hadn't released her full response to one question in the promotion, viewers would never have known about the deception,” the board added.

The Post's editorial board feels whether the footage is “legal reason for President Trump's lawsuit against a deceptive editor,” but CBS' parent company is calling for a merger with Skydance Media. It's certainly a headache for me.
“Owens also not only pushed forward the lie that Israel was blocking aid, but also added the affiliation of extremists who Washington claimed Washington was “conspiratoring” to help the Jewish state. He oversaw a grossly biased “60 minutes” report on the Gaza War that he withheld. (probably) violates international law,” the editorial committee wrote.
Earlier this year, the American Jewish Commission (AJC), a global advocacy body for Jews, denounced “60 minutes” against the “opposition within the State Department about the US's role in the Israel-Hamas War.”
The group said “60 minutes” was “played directly from the hands of Western enemies, who are aiming to show that support for Israel is not in the US's greatest interests.”
“This segment is the latest example of a major news outlet recklessly reporting on Israel's defensive war against Hamas, and is surprisingly unilaterally, de facto accuracy and largely misinformed. I was dependent on you.” AJC wrote.
“Arguably the worst, this segment made little mention of Hamas' actions that launched this war. Palestinian civilians have been able to over the years by embedding weapons and other terrorist infrastructure in civilian regions. was placed in the Jewish advocacy group added.
“This segment temporarily mentioned the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, describing the fighter jets as “extremists” rather than terrorists, and following Hamas' attack on October 7, Israel It even raised the strange notion that it should have been. Rather than acting in self-defense, they tried to reconcile with Hamas terrorists. ”

Between Harris' interviews and the Israel Hamas segment, the New York Post is well-watched.
“Bill Owens' axing magically doesn't restore the reputation of CBS News. Americans' trust in mainstream media is the lowest ever for many reasons. But banishing shameless partisans from power is It's a necessary beginning,” the editorial committee wrote. .
