A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR

Meanwhile, on the pods…

Finally…

And now, a little more on 60 Minutes’s new head honcho…

MEDIA

Last Thursday morning, just minutes after Bari Weiss announced her audacious overhaul of 60 Minutes, Dylan got a call from the show’s newly appointed executive producer. Nick Bilton, the former New York Times reporter and Vanity Fair writer who left journalism to pursue a career in Hollywood, will now oversee editorial direction and story selection at America’s most popular news program—and, like Bari, has no leadership or managerial background, let alone any experience in broadcast television.

In conversation with Dylan, Bilton argued that’s part of his appeal. “You can’t necessarily have an insider change an institution from the inside, because they don’t know how to look at it from a different perspective,” he said. “Sometimes you need an outsider.” Perhaps that’s true, but there’s scant evidence that even a name-brand columnist can wrangle TV egos, navigate production schedules, and lead the old broadcast guard to their multiplatform salvation. But Bilton seems to know what Bari wants—and she made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. “There was no part of me that wanted to come back to journalism,” he told Dylan. “But when Bari approached me about [the job], I couldn’t get it out of my head.”

WALL STREET

As several of the leading A.I. companies prepare to go public and see their valuations soar above the $1 trillion mark, a number of Wall Street contrarians are trying to remind everyone that we’ve seen this movie before.

WASHINGTON

After the president helped end the careers of two of their own, many in the Senate G.O.P. feel he’s broken their political contract. Now, instead of constantly bowing to the executive branch, they’re agitating to fight, or at least stand up for themselves.
