CBS News Chief Resigns Amid Trump Lawsuit Pressure
In short, CBS News President Wendy McMahon resigned, citing disagreements over the company’s future direction. This follows the recent departure of “60 Minutes” top producer Bill Owens, who cited concerns about journalistic independence. The turmoil coincides with Paramount Global’s pursuit of an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media and its efforts to resolve a $20 billion lawsuit filed by Donald Trump. These events suggest significant internal pressures and uncertainty within the organization.
