One other big topic to get to.

Oh, my gosh.

I can't believe we're just here now.

60 Minutes.

Meltdown at 60 Minutes.

Oh, my God.

We could go forever.

As you said, this show isn't called 60 Minutes.

It's called 197.

This is 190-whatever-we-want.

As you know by now, ever since Trump pal David Ellison put contrarian conservative columnist Barry Weiss in charge of CBS, she's taken a special interest in 60 Minutes.

Last week, Weiss fired the show's executive producer, along with several correspondents, and hired Nick Bilton, a tech journalist with no broadcast experience, to run the program.

At Bilton's introduction meeting, which Weiss did not attend, maybe the funniest part of the whole story, veteran correspondent Scott Pelley accused Weiss of trying to, quote, murder the show.

And according to recordings of the meeting that have circulated shortly after that, Pelley was fired.

And then on his way out, publicly accused Weiss and CBS leadership of instructing him to, quote, inject falsehoods and bias and unverified assertions into, quote, a politically sensitive story.

You worked at CBS News for a while.

I know you've been writing about this story a bunch on your excellent substack.

Perfect title.
