6. I agree with Terry Moran

Ex-ABC News reporter Terry Moran ripped “60 Minutes” on Monday over its interview with Donald Trump, which arrived just months after CBS’s parent company struck a widely-panned $16 million settlement deal with the president.

Moran — when asked by CNN’s Brianna Keilar about the timing of the interview — pointed to Trump “dunking” on “60 Minutes” as he gloated about Paramount paying him “a lot of money” in an unaired exchange with correspondent Norah O’Donnell.

“It was an interview without a lot of pushback. It was an interview that let him carry on,” said Moran, who did not refer to O’Donnell by name. Moran said it’s “impossible to say” whether conservative journalist Bari Weiss — who Paramount named as CBS News’ editor-in-chief in October — was part of the equation, noting that she’s “been very kind” to the president.

...

You don’t have to get in a fight with him. You don’t ― you shouldn’t, right? You should treat him with the respect that the office deserves and that the people elected him deserve. But at the same time, you have to stand up to something because if you condone his falsehoods, that empowers him,” he said.
