Norah O'Donnell

On cue, Status’s Oliver Darcy lost his noodle Monday night in writing about the season 59 premiere of CBS’s 60 Minutes on Sunday, screeching about the patriotism outweighing the Trump-bashing in Norah O’Donnell’s lead story about the April rescue of two airmen in Iran, the sausage-making behind securing such a big interview, and how the second piece about the Trump “pardon economy” was…

While the left and their intolerant, single-party media writers are wailing over a season premiere of 60 Minutes that didn’t look all that different from past incarnations, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings aired a spellbinding CBS News investigation published online Sunday showing rampant abuse of the U.S. surrogacy system by Chinese billionaires to create dozens of babies with dual citizenship.

On Sunday, after changes to 60 Minutes by new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, which was paired with liberal fears over the show becoming pro-Trump, the first stories of the newest season of the supposed new-look show still continued to showcase the program’s liberal bias. The opening story of the season focused on the rescue mission of U.S. fighter pilots during the Iran War, but…

Following months of tumult over CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’s hiring of executive producer Nick Bilton and firing of top on-air talent Sharyn Alfonsi, Scott Pelley, and Cecilia Vega (and behind the camera), CBS’s 60 Minutes premieres a new season Sunday on the heels of a NewsBusters analysis that found, over the past six seasons, their political stories have skewed heavily to the left…

Variety’s Brian Steinberg revealed Thursday that longtime CBS News fixture Norah O’Donnell has won the sweepstakes to become — or, in O’Donnell’s case, return as — the third co-host of CBS Mornings, starting on September 8. CBS News President Tom Cibrowski told Steinberg that “we believe there is a lot of life left in morning television, and therefore we are putting our best people on the…

Amid some predictable-yet-tiresome swipes at CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, Status founder and liberal media Stasi boss Oliver Darcy revealed in his newsletter Monday night that 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O’Donnell — who was co-host of CBS This Morning from September 2012 to May 2019 — has the inside track on returning to the show (now called CBS Mornings) as the third co-host.

Remarkably, it’s been a year since the infamous FBI letter about Jeffrey Epstein that triggered a torrent of TV news coverage ghoulishly seeking to tie President Trump to the billionaire sex criminal’s life of ruin. In that time, a Media Research Center analysis has found ABC, CBS, and NBC have devoted a gargantuan 1,627 minutes across their flagship morning, evening, and Sunday morning…

The “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each provided extensive coverage on their lead Monday morning news shows of Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) shooting that we learned was a third assassination attempt against President Trump in less than two years. But when it came to coverage of the suspect’s ideology and motive, they refused to engage on the former and couldn’…

It’s mind-boggling how the press pretends that hostilities between President Trump and the press is a one-way street. They somehow never qualify as hostile. CBS interviewer Norah O'Donnell repeated the shooter's claims that the president was a rapist, pedophile, and traitor. How is that question not "resuming hostilities"?

President Trump’s bizarre Truth Social repost with a painting implying he was a miraculous healer like Jesus made all the front pages on Tuesday with “allegations of blasphemy.” It also led the evening newscasts. Why? Because they deeply hope offended Catholics and Christians will punish Trump and Republicans in the midterm elections.

On Sunday’s 60 Minutes, the apparently mandatory anti-Trump segment was an interview with three Cardinals everyone associated with “progressive” Pope Francis – Blasé Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington DC, and Joseph Tobin of Newark. The two big anti-Trump topics were the war in Iran and mass deportation. There were no questions on abortion or gender ideology or nuns suing the…

On Tuesday’s CBS Mornings, CBS continued its commitment to actual, enterprise, public service journalism under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that appeals to all Americans with part two of its CBS News Investigation into rampant fraud in dark blue California’s hospice system. Following on part one from March 10, correspondent Adam Yamaguchi chose to spotlight one doctor who submitted over $70…

Despite having been painted a picture by the liberal media that the new CBS News would become something akin to MAGA TV, it has been anything but. Wednesday’s CBS Mornings reacted with negative narratives about President Trump’s “contentious” 2026 State of the Union speech, “clash[ing] with Democrats” and painting a supposedly dour economy as strong.

On Tuesday, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) and CBS Mornings combined to offer widely negative rhetoric in previewing President Trump’s State of the Union, painting it as an almost hapless endeavor amid “his lowest numbers yet” to change the minds of voters poised to trigger a blue tsuanmi in November. Unsurprisingly, GMA was the most negative. In short, they were nothing like they were in…
