The more terrifying bust-out is the Trump/ Tony version as he loots the US economy, pumps-and-dumps stocks, gives fat contracts to family & friends, grifts, cons and robs us of our tax dollars all while thumbing his nose at the law.
Rick nails it again. Crisp and biting. "A press that cannot hold power to account is not a press. It is a public-relations department." So true. I'm looking forward to a time when ALL of the 60 Minutes journalists resurface and continue their excellent work, wherever they land.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. ABC or NBC should pick up the whole team from top to bottom and reconstitute just as it was on another network. It's a money -maker and they won't have to pay a cent to acquire it as Bari and Co. fire everyone who won't gladly toe the line. A win/win for the true freedom of press and the American people.
"The brave independent truth-teller"--perfect. The first time I ever saw her was on Bill Maher's show. She irritated me right away because she was just "so smart", and Jewish. Don't forget she's Jewish and therefore damned smarter that anybody else. That's what I got from her. So thanks, Rick, for another perfect characterization. She's just too "smart" for her own good.
Thank you Rick. Every word of it is true. If only the Liberty Bell could ring again and loud enough to crack open this pathetic excuse of a corporate manager and her owners. Sorry to see all the good ones go, and more sorry for the loss of production staff and assistants at all levels. What Weiss has done is murder. And Pelley was right to say so

Brawndo. It's what cults crave.

Rick's essays are not just compelling content; they're art. Thank you.

So well said.
A nice evisceration, Rick. You do it better than anyone. I love your writing.
I stand in respect for the greatness CBS news once produced and I mourn what truly is lost
SUPERB, Rick!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Imagine a man with his credentials being fired by a dumb little bitch like her.

Perfection.
These people don’t even get what’s coming next is a hell of a backslash to them that it’s gonna grab them by the throat and shake them to their boots
