The Scaremongers Are Wrong (Yet Again)
Have you heard? The world is about to end! 60 Minutes recently featured Paul Ehrlich, author of the bestseller, “The Population Bomb.” “Humanity is not sustainable,” he said.

ICYMI: '60 Minutes' Reported on Potential Medical Miracles in France
"I look to CBS News for good news about the Catholic faith" is a sentence you'll never, ever hear. So we thought it was important to go back and throw some kudos at Bill Whitaker and 60 Minutes for a December 18 report on reported miracles from the pilgrimage site of Lourdes, France.

'60 Minutes' Helps Dems With Hit Piece on Arizona 'Election Deniers'
As the midterm elections get closer, it’s obvious that the 60 Minutes crew is going to end with an aggressively partisan spin. We call this “Bias by Story Selection.” On Sunday night, Scott Pelley – the former CBS Evening News anchor who often trashed Trump for “tweeting tantrums and falsehoods” – spent the first 19 minutes of the show trashing the pro-Trump “election deniers…
Having It Both Ways on the Pandemic
WASHINGTON -- I have always thought that there was something very odd about this COVID pandemic. From start to finish, it has been entoiled in claims of politics. The Democrats murmured against what dark doings President Donald Trump was up to at the pandemic's outset. Then, when the Democrats took power in Washington, the Republicans began to murmur against what dark doings the Democrats were…
Column: CBS Is Not 'Going Rogue' on January 6
The partisans running the House January 6 Committee would like you to believe there’s a controversy over an ex-Republican coming out with his own “unauthorized” January 6 book the day before their last scheduled committee hearing.

Playing second fiddle to Scott Pelley’s gag-inducing interview with President Biden on Sunday’s 60 Minutes, CBS journalist Lesley Stahl sat down with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and treated him with more respect and reverence than the show usually affords to American Republicans.
