’60 Minutes’ Staffers Urged to Keep Show Ticking

“Staffers at ’60 Minutes’ urged one another to keep the venerable CBS newsmagazine going even as corporate parent Paramount Global investigates the possibility of settling what is seen as a flimsy lawsuit tied to a report that ran on the show,” Variety reports.

“Speaking during a meeting held Monday, both correspondents Scott Pelley and Anderson Cooper cautioned an assemblage of employees who work for the Sunday-night mainstay against letting the lawsuit tear the show apart and distract people from the journalism is presents each week.”
