Not surprised, but devastated. Their reporting and refusal to bend the knee has been honorable and a pleasure to watch. Same with CBS Sunday Morning. Hopefully they won't muzzle that show too. When the news of his resignation came out, it was very clear we are getting deeper into state run media. It is indeed terrifying.
That was very affecting Joy. I knew a lot of that just from diving into the some of the pieces you referenced, however, the contextual perspective you gave it resonated even more so. It sickens me and makes me that much more determined to fight the power.
On a side note, Skydance is the producer on the next installment of the Tom Cruise vehicle "Mission Impossible" franchise. I feel like there's an opportunity to chip away at the success of that film, if we are so inclined. Shari Redstone may feel invincible under the Trump regime and with her billions of dollars, but she has an Achilles heel, $$$$.
The kowtowing of varied outlets – universities, law firms, and media – to Trump is a sad commentary on what is happening to the under attack First Amendment. Clearly Trump and Co. are making an effort to control how we perceive information by restricting facts and obfuscating with rapid-fire lies. As I’ve said, multiple times over the past few weeks, we, the citizens, must stand up at protests, and via phone calls and letters detailing our opposition.
Joy, you are the high IQ version of Forrest Gump. (FYI, he is one of my cultural heroes. He experienced life from a bird's eye view during one of the most culturally relevant periods of our lifetime.) Your tangential and sometimes direct connections to people, places and things magnifies your cred. I so adore you.
I am so mad and angry that everything Donald trump doing is destroying our america piece by piece and there nobody will stop him.. He is destroying our once a great nation unfortunately its going to get worst. Thanks for this Joy .
“I remember walking into Trump Tower when it was still brand new, on one of my lunch breaks, and thinking it was the tackiest, gold-gilded thing I had ever seen.” I had that same feeling when I was there in ‘89 visiting my friend in Edison NJ. We took the subway in and walked around NYC. She took me to Trump Tower. It was the ugliest thing I had ever seen…
These networks are scared of the wrong group of people. Are there enough wealthy oligarchs to support them and watch the garbage they broadcast? I will never ever turn on network television again.
Fantastic story Joy, Thank you. Mr. Ed Bradley was my man❤️. I loved me some Ed Bradley. After he departed, I lost interest & stopped watching altogether. Lastly, I want to add that maybe, just maybe, one day my “middle class brain” will understand why folks fear President Cheeto. For me it is truly mind boggling. Maybe if I were a millionaire my brain could somehow understand this phenomenon. Is it me or do rich folks fear him the most? They would lick his ass if it were on fire. Truly fascinating.
I’m very sorry to hear this is happening. The last few shows have been exceptionally good, and several of the segments disturbing and heartbreaking. I guess it’s no surprise that Trump would go after 60 Minutes in whatever way he can. He certainly seems to love litigation. And the truth seems particularly not a friend to Mr. Trump.
I was also wondering if Trump wants to see what was edited from 60 MInutes’ Interview with Kamala Harris, can we see what was edited from The Apprentice?

I was a child when 60 Minutes came on the air. To see this is unbelievable and unsettling. Money rules over integrity these days. To see so many bowing down to tyranny is frightening.

Joy you are amazing. You can write so fast. Thank you.
We need your insights and hope & faith. 🙏☮️💙

Mike Wallace, and others from 60 Minutes' past, are rolling over in their graves.
Wow can this woman write or what?!!!
PS: I think you meant acronym, not anagram😊

I have enjoyed 60 minutes continuing to be true to their roots....alas, no more..... Without fear or favor is my new motto!!
