So it's a really blue chip show.

It has been for years and years and years.

A huge brand in the States.

There is not a direct equivalent here, but let's imagine it is something like the News at Ten.

This would be where you're Trevor McDonald's and Jon Snow's and, you know, the kind that has all the big hitters.

Yes.

Exactly.

Yeah, so David Edison, who is the child of a billionaire, who has bought CBS amongst many other things, including CNN and all sorts of things, he decided to overhaul

60 minutes.

And the stuff that's happened this week is crazy.

So there's one called Bari Vice who ran a media organisation called The Free Press that David Everson bought for $150 million.

Right-leaning, I think it's fair to say.

Trump-leaning, I think it's fair to say as well.

And he brought Bari Weiss in.

Free thinking might be the thing we say these days.

Well, that's the thing.

David Ellison buys her company for a lot of money and then sets her in charge of CBS News and 60 Minutes.

So the situation you have is, as you say, someone who is an iconoclast versus a very traditional, very long-standing, fairly liberal...

And this incredible franchise, which is 60 Minutes, which has been going forever and ever and ever.

And a lot of the correspondents are in their 70s and 80s and have been there forever.
