Episode notes
Veteran journalist Steve Kroft blasts recent upheavals at Sixty Minutes, calling them “disastrous” and claiming the show’s core identity is vanishing. Four correspondents have left since February, leaving just three, amid fallout from a CBS lawsuit over an interview edit that Kroft says triggered deeper interference. He accuses new leadership of bowing to political pressure, pushing unverified content and bias — a stark contrast to his own decades of unchallenged journalistic independence. The turmoil escalated when the executive producer terminated a correspondent after a public clash, where the staffer accused the team of “murdering Sixty Minutes.” The future of the iconic program’s integrity now hangs in the balance.
