Ignoring the growing ā€˜60 Minutes’ controversy appears to be the network’s path forward.

Discussion of the growingĀ 60 MinutesĀ controversyĀ was conspicuously absent from a CBS editorial meeting on Tuesday morning.

The network’s MAGA-curious new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, who personally spiked a segment critical of the Trump administration that was set to air Sunday night, was on the call but did not address the now-viral report that aĀ Canadian affiliate mistakenly aired.

The Washington PostĀ andĀ Vanity FairĀ reported that Weiss, 41, joined the meeting via Zoom and ā€œwaved hiā€ from her car but did not speak.Ā CNN’s Brian Stelter reported that theĀ 60 Minutes controversy was not mentioned during the meeting.

    For real… Like stop being so playful with the verbiage. One does not dip their toe into fascism just to test how it feels.

      The US will be Gilead before anyone in the media will speak truth to power and dare call one of these traitors a ā€œfascist propaganda operativeā€.

      They can’t even bring themselves to call out a lie 99% of the time.

      No US politician, public servant, or military members will hold the oligarchy accountable. The people are the only ones who’ll do what’s necessary… or they won’t and billions will suffer the consequences. Millions already have.

        I continue to be at a loss to understand the mechanics of how enough people will effectively organize and focus their collective effort to cause change for the good. Most populist revolutions seem to end poorly, even if they succeed in displacing the incumbent regime.
