The New York Post editorial board stated that CBS News could begin to solve its “left -handed propaganda problem” when cutting the ties with the executive producer of the “60 minutes”, Bill Owens.
Earlier this week, the president of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Brendan Carr, reduced the conduct of CBS News after the launch of the transcription without editing the network of his interview “60 minutes” with the then vice president Kamala Harris .
He showed that CBS News had issued only the first half of his answer to the “60 -minute” correspondent of Bill Whitaker about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not “listening” to the administration biden in a preview clip that was issued “Face the Nation”, but issued only the second half of his response during the stellar schedule special.
In October, President Trump filed a demand of $ 10 billion against CBS News alleging the electoral interference about his management of the “60 minutes” interview, accusing the network of helping his democratic rival through the deceptive edition only A few days before the elections.

The New York Post editorial Board believes that the changes must occur in CBS News as a result.
“As too many inherited media operations must eliminate partisan rot. The main producer of ’60 minutes’, Bill Owens, who has made too many bad calls,” wrote the editorial board of the publication.
“Obviously, to cut and cut Harris’s interview, reducing a word salad response after another in seemingly coherent answers,” the editorial board continued. “Owens told his staff that the interview edition was ‘perfectly well’ and that ‘The company knows that I will not apologize for anything we have done’.”
The Post Editorial Board said that “hiding the true nature (incoherent!) Of a favorite presidential candidate” is “deception”, not journalism.
“And the spectators would probably have never known about deception if CBS had not published their full answer to a question in a promotion,” added the Board.
The transcription of ’60 minutes’ in the demand of the center of Trump against CBS is vital for the investigation, says the president of the FCC
President Trump and others were not satisfied with the “60 minutes” of CBS News about the controversial edition of his interview with the then Vice President Kamala Harris. “
The Post Editorial Board feels if the footage is “legitimate reasons for President Trump’s demand on the deceptive edition is another matter”, but it is certainly a headache for the CBS parent company, since it seeks a fusion with Skydance Media .
“Owens also supervised a” 60 -minute biased report on Gaza’s War that not only advanced the lie that Israel was blocking the help, but that she retained the extremist affiliations of the defenders who showed that she claimed that Washington was’ accomplice ‘, By helping the Jewish State (supposedly) violating international law, “wrote the editorial board.
Earlier this year, the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the World Defense Organization for the Jewish people, criticized “60 minutes” for a segment, “dissent within the State Department on the role of the United States in the war from Israel-Ahamas. ”
The group said that “60 minutes” played “directly in the hands of the enemies of the West, who aim to demonstrate that support for Israel is not the best for the United States.”
“This segment, the last example of the main media that recklessly reported Israel’s defensive war against Hamas, was surprisingly unilateral, lacked in fact precision and depended largely on wrong information,” the AJC wrote.
“Perhaps more atrociously, the segment almost did not mention the actions of Hamas that began this war, placing the Palestinian civilians in danger in danger for years to embed the weapons and another terrorist infrastructure in civil areas,” added the Jewish devocation group.
“The segment only briefly referred to the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, described its combatants as” militants “instead of terrorists, and even came to raise the extravagant notion that, after the attack of October 7 From Hamas, Israel should have tried to make peace with Hamas’ terrorists instead of acting in self -defense. “

Between Harris’s interview and the Israel-Ahamas segment, the New York Post has seen enough.
“Axinar Bill Owens will not magically restore the reputation of CBS News; the trust of Americans in the main media is at their lowest point for many reasons. But expelling the shameless supporters of power is a necessary beginning,” he wrote The editorial board.
CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
