60 Minutes will be taking a break, for a reset.

There will be no new episode of “60 Minutes” tonight.

Instead, the Emmy winning, venerated news program is showing three archived movie star profiles with no relevance to anything current.

The profiled actors are Timothee Chalamet from last year, Jamie Lee Curtis from May 2025, and Kate Winslet from 2024. Only one, Chalamet, is an Oscar nominee this year. But his interview isn’t for “Marty Supreme,” but for last year’s “A Complete Unknown.”

(I was actually assured some time ago that a new Chalamet piece about “Marty Supreme” was coming during this Oscar campaign. That may not be the case now.)

This comes as there’s been another ICE killing in Minnesota, riots and protests in Minneapolis, and a week when Donald Trump was mocked in Davos over his obsession with Greenland. Measles is spreading in South Carolina, as well. Any of these topics would have made for a scintillating new episode tonight.

Clearly, a show that was supposed to air tonight simply has been pulled. Under CBS news shill Bari Weiss and CBS owners David and Larry Ellison, “60 Minutes” is being destroyed, quickly, from within.

television will survive with the death of news coverage and the almost comically bad programming. Almost all of which is interrupted by commercials every ten minutes to the point of being unwatchable.
We haven’t watched it in years other than the occasional local news segment.
Can’t imagine what is keeping it alive, but probably the intent is to kill it in favor of only pay per view.$$$

This angle about Shen Yun and the Epoch Times is crazy.

Seems to be a pretty good indicator of things to come at CBS now that Bari is buying out all the news professionals..


Meanwhile, I’m curious to see what the CBS Sunday Morning piece is today on Shen Yun. I written extensively about this cult that’s tied to the Epoch Times. See below.

The acting CEO of The Epoch Times is on the board of the Kennedy Center under Donald Trump. Coincidence? Nope...

How to make 60 Minutes into irrelevant puff pieces. Thanks Bari Weiss, stalking horse for Trump & Larry Ellison.
