I agree. She’s not the mark. She’s the hit man. She’s been given a pile of money to kill CBS News in general, and 60 Minutes in particular.
The problem with being the hit man is that you’re also the fall guy. You’re going to take the rap for the hit, not the big bosses. You’re there to protect the boss.
Back to 60 Minutes itself. If the remaining correspondents and production crew have the courage, they should all resign en masse. They could form their own independent news show, or offer themselves to some other mass broadcaster, like the BBC.
