60 Minutes EP Jeff Fager Out at CBS
Quote:60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager has stepped down from his position as head of the CBS news series, the network said in a statement Wednesday.
Fager’s departure is effective immediately, according to the announcement from CBS News president David Rhodes.
60 Minutes executive editor Bill Owens will manage the show until Fager’s replacement is found, Rhodes said, adding, “This action today is not directly related to the allegations surfaced in press reports, which continue to be investigated independently. However, he violated company policy and it is our commitment to uphold those policies at every level.”
The allegations to which Rhodes refers include those published in a recent New Yorker article by Ronan Farrow, in which several current and former employees of the iconic news broadcast claimed that Fager ignored harassment happening within his staff and allowed a culture where inappropriate behavior, including sexual misconduct, was allowed to happen.

RE: 60 Minutes EP Jeff Fager Out at CBS
You know, I do find it kinda humorous that these radical 60s college kids who fought for "free love" and moral relativism are now the ones who are clamping down on the very same thing.
Maybe they should've listened to their parents back then. They might not have wandered around for 50-some-odd years only to realize how wrong their 60s movement was.
