I've always thought that there should be NO ADS allowed during news programming.

I don't fully disagree with that. But I also don't think it's the reason the producer resigned. I'm pretty sure that Paramount and CBS were yielding to political pressures from the current administration.

I watch 60 minutes almost every week, and while they haven't been kind to Trump, they haven't been terribly hard hitting, either. It seems like they've been trying to minimize Trump and political stories, choosing a lot of more general interest stories lately. Not that those are bad, mind you. There are things going on in the world that aren't Trump that are interesting to know about.
