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. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. 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

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-

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
