An internal crisis erupted at CBS News following the appointment of Nick Bilton as the executive producer of “60 Minutes” this week. Bilton’s hiring has sparked discussions on whether he is fit to lead one of America’s most prestigious news programs.
In an effort to gather opinions on Bilton’s qualifications, NBC News interviewed 11 of his former colleagues. Their responses varied significantly, reflecting a wide range of views on his suitability for the role.
A selection of opinions obtained highlights the division among his peers. Some expressed strong confidence, affirming with a resounding “Absolutely!” that Bilton is up to the task. Others, however, responded with an emphatic “Lord, no!” expressing skepticism about his qualifications.
The mixed reactions underscore the controversy surrounding his appointment and raise questions about the direction CBS News will take under his leadership.
