I think so.
I think it's got a huge name.
I think the name 60 Minutes is bigger than any personality that's been there in recent years.
It hasn't been the 60 Minutes that we knew, Glenn, yet.
Since they lost all the originals.
So it's always been something that's in transition in the past 10, 20, 25 years.
And yes, I think the name survives the personalities and they still do some, as I heard someone note, many of their stories that are unrelated to these political slants that you're talking about.
are great stories.
They still do good stories and can continue to do great journalism with other people, other producers and other reporters.
There's not a short supply of people who want to do great journalism.
They're just not allowed to do that the way they used to be at the networks.
I couldn't now because I'm in contract.
I'm doing at least one more year of my TV program, number one.
Number two, I did get a call about a year ago asking about my availability for a leadership role at CBS, CNN, Washington Post, Berkeley School of Graduate Journalism, and ABC.
You know, they're all, this is what's talking to me, but good.
They want to, I'm talking about the corporate executive level, not the newsroom.
As I said, they want to tug their organizations back closer to the middle.
They know they have a problem.
But as I told the person that I was speaking to about these opportunities, this is going to take somebody, I hope Barry Weiss can do it, that can stand up and then get the support as the, as internally she is murdered, you know, symbolically by those who don't want to change.
she's got to stand firm and continue to get the support of the higher ups, despite the publicity that will be generated against her and everything else.
