Abstract

Bill Owens has resigned as executive producer of CBS's 60 Minutes due to a perceived lack of independence amidst a lawsuit and criticism from President Donald Trump. Owens expressed in a memo to staff that he felt restricted in making independent decisions for the show. Trump is suing CBS over a 60 Minutes episode featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging election interference. The lawsuit has implications for CBS's planned merger with Skydance Media, pending FCC approval. [Extracted from the article]
