CBS News is dominating headlines on Tuesday following the resignation of "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens. In a memo to staff, Owens said he could no longer lead the show due to restrictions on his editorial independence.
"Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it," said Owens, as reported by The New York Times. He added that "the show is too important to the country" and "has to continue, just not with me as the executive producer."
