A gallon of gas was thirty-two cents. The first pocket calculator wouldn\u2019t go on sale for another two-and-a-half years. If you needed money, you went to the bank, stood in line, and asked a human being for it. Long distance calls were billed by the minute and you thought twice before making one,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery part of how we lived back then has been transformed since then,\u201d he observed. \u201cThe cars, the phones, the music, the movies, the medicine, the money, the way news gets made and the way news gets consumed. The phone you are reading this on is more powerful than every computer that existed on the planet in 1968 combined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted, \u201cThe audience that watched that first episode is not the same audience watching us now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the modern-day audience is now \u201cstalked by algorithms,\u201d which have \u201cfigured out that anger is the only way to make sure they come back day after day after day,\u201d and claimed \u201cthey have lost faith in almost every institution that used to hold the country together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd yet here we still are. Same stopwatch. Same tick. Same Sunday night. Same form. The trusted correspondents are our guides through all of it,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Over Weiss\u2019s eight months in charge, CBS News lost three of its seven <i>60 Minutes<\/i> correspondents: Anderson Cooper, who left on his own accord, and Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, both of whom were pushed out on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>Bilton has no broadcast production experience, having previously worked as a technology columnist at The New York Times and later as a correspondent at Vanity Fair covering technology, politics, and culture. <\/p>\n<p>He has produced two HBO documentaries, <i>Fake Famous<\/i>, a film about aspiring social media influencers, and <i>The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley<\/i>, about conwoman Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=201\">CBS Scion Throws Shade at Network\u2019s Trumpy Transformation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>His letter said he will greet staff on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a notebook full of ideas,\u201c Bilton wrote. \u201cSome are about the show itself. Some are about the next generation of correspondents. Some are about the strange fact that we produce one extraordinary hour for one night a week in a world that consumes content around the clock. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to share them, and I\u2019m confident you\u2019ll be excited by them, too,\u201d he concluded. \u201cBut not yet. The first thing I want to do is meet you. Hear what you\u2019re working on. Hear what isn\u2019t working. Hear what you\u2019ve been waiting to do and haven\u2019t been able to. In about thirty days I\u2019ll come back to all of you with where we go from here. It will be a conversation that we have together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weiss, who also had no broadcast experience before becoming head of CBS News, and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski echoed many of Bilton\u2019s points in their memo to colleagues announcing the shakeup. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last six decades, <i>60 Minutes<\/i> has shaped national conversations, exposed abuses of power, and set the standard for television reporting. Our responsibility is to preserve that legacy and vital mission by building a show that thrives in the 21st century,\u201d they wrote. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat requires a new approach: expanding <i>60 Minutes <\/i>beyond a one-hour television broadcast, deepening its role across CBS News, and holding everything we produce to the ambition, fairness, and fearlessness that have defined <i>60 Minutes<\/i> at its best,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n<p>They added, \u201cThe reality facing journalism in 2026 is not easy. Information is fragmented. Algorithms reward outrage. AI-generated misinformation is proliferating. Audiences are overwhelmed. And they have lost trust in legacy media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weiss\u2019s short time leading CBS News, and notably <i>60 Minutes<\/i>, has been nothing short of tumultuous. <\/p>\n<p>Early on, she publicly clashed with correspondent Alfonsi over a <i>60 Minutes<\/i> segment on the poor conditions at the infamous megaprison CECOT, where the Trump administration was sending deportees. <\/p>\n<p>Weiss insisted on shelving the segment, claiming it needed an on-camera statement from administration officials. It wound up being aired months later, largely unchanged. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cFollowing an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives,\u201d Alfonsi said in a statement on her departure. \u201cThe message could not be clearer: my time at <i>60 Minutes <\/i>is apparently over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=199\">Insiders Reveal Trump Goon\u2019s Secret Department Chaos<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newly installed 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton sent a cringeworthy note to his colleagues ahead of his first day.
