The same Trump billionaire buddy behind the CBS MAGA makeover is now coming for CNN.

But presidents don't get to shape the news business.

That’s why journalists are now standing up for editorial independence and objecting to the merger.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

🚨 BREAKING: A Russian drone reportedly flew 13 km into Romanian territory and struck an apartment building in the city of Galați in eastern Romania overnight on Friday, May 29.

Local media report that several civilians were injured, some seriously. Debris recovered at the scene appears consistent with a Russian Geran-2/Shahed-136 attack drone.

Romania’s Ministry of National Defense has confirmed that the drone was Russian. Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident.

Romania is a member of both NATO and the European Union.

Russian drones have crossed into NATO territory on multiple occasions since the start of Russia’s big-scale invasion of Ukraine, including several instances of border violations along the Danube River in Romania. But this appears to be the first known case in which a Russian drone strike inside a NATO member state directly hit a civilian residential building and caused civilian casualties.

NATO has reacted to a Russian drone striking a residential building in Romania.

"Early this morning, an apartment building in Romania was struck by a drone as Russia attacked Ukrainian infrastructure near the border. NATO Secretary General is in contact with the Romanian authorities.

We condemn Russia’s recklessness, and NATO will continue to strengthen our defences against all threats, including drones," NATO Spokesperson Allison Hart said.

Meanwhile, Romania's Ministry of National Defence stated that it had identified the drone as a Russian Geran-2.

"The Ministry of National Defence strongly condemns the irresponsible actions of the Russian Federation and emphasizes that they represent yet another challenge to regional security and stability in the Black Sea region.

Such incidents demonstrate Russia’s disregard for the norms of international law and endanger not only the security of Romanian citizens, but also NATO’s collective security."

Romania said that a drone injured two people in the southeastern city of Galati during an overnight Russian attack on Ukraine, the ‌first time in the war that a drone had hit a densely populated area in Romania and caused injuries https://t.co/z1w70Y6QXe

Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line.

A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians.

On EU territory.

We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.

As we continue strengthening our security and deterrence, especially on our Eastern border, we will keep increasing the pressure on Russia.

We are preparing a 21st package of sanctions.

President Trump’s ill-considered, ill-prepared, and ill-timed war with Iran has so far cost at least $28 billion, 13 American and thousands of Iranian lives, the crippling closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the interruption of global energy supplies, an economic crisis that has impacted hundreds of millions of people across the world, and possibly irreversible reputational damage to the United States, Robin Wright writes.

Over the weekend, the U.S. and Iran said they were in the final stages of negotiating a “memorandum of understanding,” or M.O.U.—the first step in eventually ending the conflict. “Iran is playing the long game, despite incurring heavy losses that include the killing of its Supreme Leader and other senior political and military officials, in addition to huge damage to its infrastructure,” Wright continues. “Trump is playing the short game, with midterm elections looming, and public disapproval of the war growing. For him, Operation Epic Fury is turning into an epic disaster.” Read more: https://t.co/8xZY9Fa3ZD

The housing situation in Portugal is a travesty.

Median net salary in Portugal is around 1200€. The average rent for a one bedroom apartment in Lisbon? Around 1300€ in 2026. Want to buy instead? It’s 400,000€.

One salary literally isn’t enough for even the smallest house. Young people have no future.

Entire generations are going to be plunged into poverty and homelessness. And what do the governments do? Nothing. They literally don’t care.

Radical change is needed or something disastrous is going to happen.
