Do you mean it never aired or they just deleted the video? I missed 60 Minutes tonight since I was out at a meeting.

My "guide" on cable said it would be the second story. It was pulled. They added another segment about Cajuns.

Here is my earlier post. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220326297

I actually used to work with CBS and the publicist for 60 Minutes was one of the best so they must have had a reason. Did they report on President Biden's diagnosis? That news just broke late this afternoon.

5. No. They didn't add anything about Biden.

They added a story about Cajun musicians.

My theory is that the IRS story was pulled at the last minute for political reasons. All the promo clips have been deleted.

CBS has been trying to stand up and remain independent...but they have corporate bosses. Owens left two weeks ago, due to pressure.

Tonight was the last episode of season 59.

6. You're probably right. You know that they're being sued over a show where TFG didn't even participate

Looks like they decided to resist unlike ABC. Good Grief!
