Oct 2 (Reuters) - The White House is in talks with CBS News program "60 Minutes" about conducting an interview with U.S. President Donald Trump, Semafor reported on Thursday, citing four people with knowledge of the discussions. Reuters could not immediately verify the Semafor report.
News of the possible interview comes after media reports that CBS-parent Paramount Skydance (PSKY.O) will soon announce its takeover of center-right online news outlet, The Free Press, and hire its co-founder, Bari Weiss, as editor-in-chief of CBS News.
Paramount in July agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump over his claim that CBS deceptively edited a "60 Minutes" interview with his Democratic presidential opponent Kamala Harris last year.
Earlier this year, former "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens resigned, citing concerns over editorial independence. CBS News president Wendy McMahon later stepped down, saying she and the company had differing views on the path forward.

(540 posts)ignorant, boastful, idiotic, fanciful lies.
There will be no "interview". Trump will ignore every question and blather on about false accomplishments and imaginary events. If the host dares to put pressure on him with facts, logic or truth, he will attack and insult them personally and change the subject.
60 Minutes will kowtow to all of this.

Remember when Walter Cronkite was viewed as the most trusted man in America?
The depths of depravity the country has become, selling our Democracy for almighty buck, and bowing to someone who tried to overthrow the government. What a disgrace.
