Hey, British media, are you doing okay…? It’s fkn CHALK.

You’re clamoring so hard for a negative story on the 20k+ in attendance of London’s protest - of which there were no arrests - that you’re getting bent outta shape over some chalk graffiti on your favourite OG Exclu.

Well, she’s also ignoring that the 2020 BLM protests were actually the largest in US history, but otherwise, I agree with her.

“Another major victory” for Tramp.

‘60 Minutes’ executive producer resigns, citing a loss of independence in the wake of Trump lawsuit

Bill Owens, the executive producer for CBS News’ flagship “60 Minutes” program, announced he will resign from the top job on Tuesday, saying he no longer has control over the show.

In a memo obtained by CNN, Owens said to “60 Minutes” staff that the last few months have made it clear that he “would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it” or make “independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes.”

“So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward,” Owens wrote, adding that “the show is too important to the country, it has to continue, just not with me as the Executive Producer.”

Owens’ decision to step down, which was first reported by The New York Times, comes as media outlets’ credibility has hit a low and as outlets find themselves under attack — including frequent jabs from the White House. In November, President Donald Trump slapped CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, with a $10 billion lawsuit that claims a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris was grossly mis-edited by CBS at the Harris campaign’s direction.

Since then, Trump has repeatedly called for the network to lose its license and urged the Federal Communications Commission to punish the broadcaster. . . . Owens’ resignation provides Trump with another major victory against the broadcaster.
