Bill Owens is a journalist, who has worked at “60 Minutes,” the finest and most venerable journalistic program in the United States, for 24 years, and for the last six as its executive producer.
He has been forced out of “60 Minutes” by the insatiable greed of Shari Redstone, who has demanded that Bill Owens bend the knee to Donald Trump.
Bill Owens did not bend the knee.
Bill Owens took a stand.
Thank you, Bill Owens.
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
I believe that we should defend everyone’s free speech rights regardless of their view points, but to still believe that the truth will win in the arena of open discourse in todays damaged media ecosystem is wishful thinking. I cannot think of an example where mis-information was stifled by the truth in the past 5 years, if anyone can please correct me.
