“The Serious Newsperson cast of correspondents was different — goodbye, Scott Pelley; hello, Ross Douthat — and the production values seemed glossier, a little more Vice News than Huntley-Brinkley Report,” the New York Times reports.
“But for all the Sturm und Drang that has surrounded ’60 Minutes’ since the arrival of CBS News’s high-profile editor in chief, Bari Weiss, the version of America’s most watched news program that returned to CBS on Sunday looked a lot like the show viewers have come to expect.”
Deadline: “60 Minutes” debuts new season with a Pentagon exclusive and hidden camera expose — and plenty of scrutiny of the show itself.
