They're taking aim at "60 Minutes."

O. M. G.

Gotta tell it: "60 Minutes" was REVERED. EVERYONE who was serious about the news and hopeful of rising to the network news level nursed a not-so-secret dream of working at CBS - BECAUSE of "60 Minutes." And even more, a shitload of 'em dreamed of being a "60 Minutes" correspondent someday.

Not anymore.

And it will stay that way until (and unless) trump is gone, AND ALL HIS HENCHMEN and HENCHWOMEN, TOO!!!
