The executive producer of 60 Minutes, Bill Owens, revealed Tuesday that he’s resigning, saying that he had lost his journalistic independence, amid an onslaught of attacks on the program by Donald Trump.
“Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience,” Owens told a shocked staff in a memo obtained by The New York Times.
