Anoher indication of how bad it's getting at "60 Minutes..."

The web page even today has nothing on what is going to be on Sunday's show, unlike how they used to do it.

When I look at the "hard-hitting stories" like scouts at pee-wee football games, I can see why.

Today?

Just found a brief promo.

Old segments on people doing wild stunts, like those glider suits, and that reporter who went diving to get face-to-face with a crocodile.

We'll see what they put on in January.

I have been aware of the program almost since its outset. I don't recall a time when it was anything other than hit pieces and fluff.

You don't stay on the air for 45 years by pressing the real issues in a fair and determined manner.
