60 Minutes Kicks Off Season Amid Shakeup, Pentagon Exclusive and Pardon Brokers Exposé
60 Minutes opens its new season with a Pentagon-exclusive interview and a hidden-camera segment on pardon brokers, all amid intensified scrutiny of the show’s editorial leadership after a recent purge of top producers. The premiere sticks largely to familiar fare—a Norah O’Donnell interview with an Air Force officer, access to the Rams, and a closing segment from Ross Douthat—while the backdrop of internal controversy raises questions about ratings and the magazine’s future direction.
