60 Minutes

In an episode of The Barbara Gaines Show posted on Friday, former CBS’s Late Show host David Letterman was in old-man-yells-at-the-clouds mood as he lamented the impending cancellation of his old show and seethed over CBS News as now being run by “idiots” — ostensibly referring to Paramount Skydance chairman David Ellison and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss — who’ve “eviscerated”…

Sunday's 60 Minutes didn't air their controversial report on the Salvadoran CECOT prison, but they did make quick room for Scott Pelley to investigate President Trump's seizure of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. The story led with the expert Roger Carstens, a former "Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs" under Trump and Biden, who quibbled with the notion that Maduro was a "…

2025 marked a year of arguably unparalleled success for the NewsBusters team seeing as how, along with chronicling the best and worst in daily and long-term liberal media bias, we helped see to a successful conclusion a decades-long fight to defund National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS. As you’ll see below in our top-ten list of the most read stories, you’ll see NPR come up along with the major…

Can you imagine anyone trying to argue the media weren't deficient on the issue of Biden's cognitive decline?

When someone in the elitist media is accused of a pro-Trump bias, PBS News Hour won’t consider having on any conservative media critics (like NewsBusters) to discuss it. Instead, they routinely turn to CNN’s Brian Stelter to echo their thoughts on how the media should maintain a fierce anti-Trump bias.

CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi raged against the network’s Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss when she delayed her story on how the Trump administration deported illegal immigrants from Venezuela to a “notorious” prison in El Salvador. Weiss wanted more reporting and more rebuttal from the Trump administration in it.

Sharyn Alfonsi’s hack job of a CECOT feature for 60 Minutes, pulled due to what could be charitably described as deficient reporting, has triggered a firestorm within the elitist media. But that’s not all. The report has now also triggered an “overhaul” of standards and procedures at CBS and 60 Minutes.

On Monday night, the now-infamous 60 Minutes segment pulled by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss seemed to have self-deported and aired up in Canada on Global TV, one of its broadcast networks. With it now available to the masses (thanks to social media), we can now give it a full viewing and not a she-said, she-said between Weiss and correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. Spoiler alert: the piece…

The firestorm over the editorial decision made by CBS News to pull a 60 Minutes segment on migrant detentions at CECOT, the notorious Salvadoran prison, rages on. The controversy has now spilled over to the CBS Evening News, which aired a report on the growing scandal.

The 60 Minutes team at CBS has suffered a setback in its anti-Trump crusade, and it furiously leaked that story right into the newspapers. Reporter Sharyn Alfonsi assembled what we could guess was a typical hit piece on the “notorious” CECOT prison in El Salvador that temporarily held illegal migrant cause celebre Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.

Sunday’s 60 Minutes kicked off with Lesley Stahl’s 13-minute interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who’s quitting in January. But it really turned comical when Stahl insisted to Greene "I don't insult people." 

The enforcers of “progressive” media indoctrination are satisfied that CBS hasn’t yet changed the tone of 60 Minutes, which they call a “crown jewel” of the Dan Rather Network. Take their 13-minute puff piece on radical feminist author Margaret Atwood. The 60 Minutes X account gushed: “Margaret Atwood, author of 64 books including The Handmaid’s Tale, has seen her…

Here’s a serious question: Who on God’s green earth made CNN believe it has the credibility to finger-wag at President Donald Trump over inflation after salivating over Bidenomics for four years?

After five years, President Donald Trump returned to CBS's 60 Minutes for an extensive sit-down interview with Norah O'Donnell. While nowhere near as wild as his previous appearance, the interview was significant and newsworthy. Here are some of the most notable moments:
