Darcy Spirals, Treats Weiss’s ’60 Minutes’ Changes Like Someone Died

Column: The Overweening Pomposity of the Old Guard at CBS News

Sally Field Touts 1st Amendment on '60 Minutes'...To Flatter Colbert?
If you weren’t a political junkie, you could watch actress Sally Field give a 65-second speech at the end of Sunday’s 60 Minutes about the First Amendment and the “brilliance of our Constitution” and think it was like a “Bicentennial Minute” (which CBS aired in 1976).
