60 Minutes has been a staple of investigative journalism for so long. I hate to see it turned into a "feel good" program, showing nice "human interest" stories.

Not useful. I do not wish CBS well right now.

A typical broadcast would be some sort of current event story, one science type story (new cancer treatment that's profiled or whatever), and then a general human interest story like a profile of a pop singer.

That's really been the format as long as I remember.

More in the early days of the program. 60 Minutes was actually feared by wrong-doers.

I remember one as a kid where Mike Wallace was catching guys who sold used cars who rolled back the miles on them. Wallace didn't make himself known until the end when he approached one of the dealers. This must have been about forty years ago give or take a few.

My point was they've always had a bit of everything. It was how the show was originally sold -- it would have a story for everyone in the family like a general interest magazine just like Time.

is what 60 minutes used to be. Actually, Last Week Tonight is so much better than 60 Minutes ever was, even in their heydays of the 60s and 70s. His staff is fantastic. They actually investigate and broadcast stuff 60 Minutes and now, other so-called investigative shows dream about, but are too afraid to show. But we all know it's all about making sure their owners suck up more than is even humanly possible to not only trump but the new Nazi/Republicant Party.

That show was very informative and well done for such a long time. Now they will be destroying it.

these executive decisions.

I only watch a few shows a week. But I have neighbors, family and friends that never watch it any more.
