As 60 Minutes prepares to broadcast another probing report focused on President Trump this Sunday, its parent company, Paramount Global, is simultaneously seeking to gain his support for a significant merger.
In this episode, seasoned correspondent Scott Pelley investigates how Trump is using executive orders to target major law firms he accuses of “weaponizing” the judicial system against him.
The investigation doesn’t stop with Trump; Pelley also recently cast a critical eye on his own network. Last week, he surprised viewers by accusing Paramount of interfering with the program’s coverage. This conflict reportedly contributed to the departure of 60 Minutes leader Bill Owens, who felt the network infringed on its journalistic autonomy.
âBill insisted on tough, fair reporting,â Pelley said. âBut now, as Paramount chases a merger that needs Trumpâs approval, the company started overseeing our content in new ways. No story has been killed, but Bill felt the integrity was gone.â
Sources say Paramount chair Shari Redstone pressed CBS CEO George Cheeks to delay Trump-critical stories until after the merger with Skydance Media â but thereâs no proof the request was enforced. Officially, CBS says the showâs editorial independence remains intact.
Still, the timing couldnât be more tense: as Trump keeps lashing out at 60 Minutes, the show keeps firing back â while Paramount walks a tightrope between journalism and business interests.
