I mean, I guess they had a private meeting with Bill Whitaker.

Which was terrible, apparently.

And this is why Nick Bilton couldn't answer the question when Pelley was asking him at that original meeting that leaked about why they had fired the previous executive producers and the heads of the show.

This is why it was so important for Barry Weiss to get somebody that...

was her choice in charge of the show.

They couldn't do what they had done traditionally, which is promote the person internally that had been the best story producer.

That's how 60 Minutes worked.

They would promote from within.

They'd find somebody that understood the program and that had demonstrated skill and leadership at shepherding various stories to the TV.

Instead, she has to bring in some outside guy.

And it's like, why?

Well, it's for this.

So she doesn't have to send an email to somebody she doesn't know saying, hey, can you make sure the story reflects the lie that the president told that Renee Good was aiming her car at the officer when all video shows that she was doing the opposite.

Now she can just communicate that to Nick Bilton and have him try to do it.

So we'll see how it continues to go.

Look, everyone needs to do what's right for them.

I understand the reason

Leslie Stahl and Bill Whitaker said that they want to stay.

I think that they probably are rightly worried that had they quit, it's over.

Like 60 Minutes is basically dead.
