People say they want impartial news.

Then they get it from influencers, social media feeds, podcasts, and AI.

The latest Reuters data reveals a contradiction that's reshaping journalism.

A government doesn't need to explicitly censor the media. It can bully it into silence using regulatory threats. If ABC wins, it could help protect journalism from future authoritarian threats. My latest Archer's Line: https://t.co/VdrmBT4Jpp

Joy is infectious. The joy on Geddy's and Alex's faces — playing music they never thought they'd play again, with a drummer worthy of Neil's seat — spread to everyone at those shows and to Rush fans everywhere who couldn't be there.

Gods know we need more of it.

I hear that Rush performed several different songs on night 2 of their sold-out run at the Forum. That makes me think they're recording these shows for a live album and video... and they'll have plenty of options to choose from.

The ultimate cost of the brain drain happening in journalism, government, and the military. Archer's Line: https://t.co/1njVrq5mbT

A good reporter learns how people lie.

They learn it after thousands of interviews.

That's not something you replace with a buyout and a cheaper hire.

UPDATE: Three of 60 Minutes' remaining correspondents -- Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and Jon Wertheim -- have announced they’re staying. But they insist that it's not a surrender -- they're staying to keep the show alive. https://t.co/uCKogVNxYj

UPDATE: I've added Scott Pelley's response to CBS's claims, and his note to the CBS News staff. https://t.co/i1XL49QgLh

[Rob Archer🎙️ @RobArcher]

Scott Pelley spent three decades at CBS News. They fired him by email. Sent by a guy who'd run 60 Minutes for a matter of days.

The bigger question isn't whether Pelley survives this. It's whether 60 Minutes does.
