About Us

(CBS News) 

"60 Minutes," the most successful television broadcast in history, begins its 44th season on September 25, 2011. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast begun in 1968 is still a hit in 2011, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10. Over the 2010-'11season, "60 Minutes" continued its dominance as the number-one news program, drawing an average of 13.36 million viewers per week - a 1 percent increase over last season and more than twice the audiences of its network news magazine competitors and more than five million viewers ahead of the most-watched daily network evening news broadcast. The average audience for a "60 Minutes" broadcast still dwarfs the biggest audiences drawn by cable news programs.

About a million more people listen to the "60 Minutes" radio simulcast in several major cities and tens of thousands each week experience "60 Minutes" online. The broadcast's segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com, while a new sister site, 60MinutesOvertime.com., offers content originally produced for the Web only, including behind-the-scenes video about the production of "60 Minutes" stories and timely archival segments. The broadcast's content can also be watched on the iPad; its application is one of the most popular paid apps in the App Store.

"60 Minutes" has won more Emmy Awards than any other primetime broadcast, including a special Lifetime Achievement Emmy. It has also won every major broadcast journalism award over its tenure, including 18 Peabody and 13 DuPont Columbia University awards for excellence in television broadcasting. Other distinguished awards won multiple times include the George Polk, RTNDA Edward R. Murrow , Investigative Reporters and Editors, RFK Journalism, Sigma Delta Chi and Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Reporting.

I was disturbed by the unnecessary reference to Eric Cantor being Jewish. Do you identify the religion and religious practices of other personalities? No. It is not relevant to the story.
Then you reported on a young man named Eshakoff from Great Neck who took the SAT exams for other students. That makes 2 Jews maligned in one broadcast. Not happy.

I am disgusted at 60min lately, you treated the NFL commissioner with more respect than our President of the United States! How can you be so disrespectful to President Obama, who had to interrupt his interview several times to correct your employee? Also, how does a non American interview our troops during war times? And among all of the unemployed Americans, you pick a non American for this job? 60 minutes has really sunk as a new organization lately, and is losing any credibility that it may still have. Disgusted no longer watching!

60 Minutes, I would like to see you do a story on this.

Young Denmark teens slaughter thousands of intelligent Calderon dolphins which are near extinction EVERY year as a celebration. WTH?! This barbaric blood lust must stop!

I enjoyed the televised debate tonight between Republican Eric Cantor and the obviously Liberal Lesley Stahl.
After watching, I have a desire to learn more about Representative Cantor. Perhaps you can assign one of your correspondents to conduct
one of those impartial interviews that you are famous for.

Does anyone Read this? Time is growing short to report on an important case dealing with our rights to Fair Due Process. Right now the IRS can take your property without it! We claim to have the best system in the world but our rights are dwindling rapidly. Doesn't anyone besides me care????

[mrlucky700]

There is a petition in case # 11-331 now before the Supreme Court to be conferred upon during the January 6th Conference concerning the IRS's practice of denying the 5th and 14th Constitutional Amendment rights of every American taxpayer in their internal administrative procedures. No one seems to care. Does 60 minutes?

See the latest internet posts about Dakota Meyer.
He is a war hero, but you fell for the exaggeration.
How about a follow-up about when 60 Minutes gets snowed?

Your piece on Grover Norquist was good, but not enough. We've followed the money back to the funders of Mr. Norquist, and the network of the dozens of think tanks and Astroturf grass-roots groups. There are a handful of foundations and the children of dead scions of 19th century capitalism, most affiliated with the John Birch Society and the Libertarian movement, who spent forty years building the infrastructure to bring the New Deal down from the inside. Mr. Norquist is a symptom of that funding. We'd like to challenge 60 Minutes to investigate the group we call the Dead Billionaire's Club. What they have in store for America is really chilling. http://truth-2-power.com/2011/12/13/the-dead-billionaires-club-the-dead-cant-vote-but-should-they-give/

GreAT story Prosecuting Wall Street. It occured to me, regarding the massive bonuses given to corporate execs, why not call it what it is...HUSH MONEY!

[tmcrowley56]

The more I listened the more angry I became. It is obvious that the well to do in our federal government are taking care of their low friends in high places in the banking business. How do we hold the our federal government bureaucrats (our employees) accountable for their actions? It is a moral and ethical crisis.
