Famed ex-'60 Minutes' producer says CBS’ Trump settlement will create 'unacceptable' fear for reporters

Ex '60 Minutes' producer sounds off on Trump-Paramount lawsuit settlement
 
Award-winning journalist Lowell Bergman believes Paramount Global and CBS’ eight-figure settlement with President Donald Trump will spark "unacceptable" fear for "60 Minutes" reporters going forward.

Bergman, a longtime producer for CBS’ "60 Minutes" whose investigation of the tobacco industry was dramatized in the 1999 movie, "The Insider," appeared on "The Daily" New York Times podcast to offer his take on Paramount Global and CBS settling with Trump.

Bergman was played by Al Pacino in the film, which was based on the true story of CBS legal counsel attempting to shut down his tobacco industry report to appease corporate interests. Bergman said last week’s decision by Paramount to settle Trump’s "election interference" lawsuit makes current CBS issues even worse.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You mean they might have to think before lying or might have to tell the truth?  How f*cking sad is that! 000hehehehe

I want "reporters" to fear the consequences of lying.

A fear of posting fake stories full of lies is considered "unacceptable"?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
