Topic: Don Hewitt

A report reveals that CBS has paid over $5 million in settlements to a woman who alleged sexual assault by the late 60 Minutes creator Don Hewitt. The payments, which began in the 1990s, are scheduled to continue for the rest of the woman's life. The story is framed as an NBC "hit piece" on CBS following the departure of Les Moonves and Jeff Fager.

Following the death of 60 Minutes creator Don Hewitt, a 2001 C-SPAN interview is revisited. Hewitt recounts an anecdote from a 1992 interview with Bill and Hillary Clinton regarding Gennifer Flowers. He describes political consultant James Carville sobbing in the control room out of devotion to the Clintons, leading Hewitt to attempt to have him removed.

The hosts reflect on the quality of their current episode, specifically the value of the Don Hewitt clip from C-SPAN. They discuss the upcoming 60 Minutes tribute to Hewitt and compare their own independent analysis to mainstream media coverage.
