Bill Owens, the beleaguered executive producer of “60 Minutes,” resigned Tuesday.
Owens’ departure could be a sign that a settlement is forthcoming. Paramount Global executives see the suit as an obstacle to getting approval of a merger agreement with David Ellison’s Skydance Media. Trump and Paramount recently agreed on a mediator to assist with the process.
“Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,” Owens wrote in a message obtained by The Times. “To make independent decisions based on what’s right for the audience. So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward.”

And what happens to San Francisco Alcatraz tourism? The island receives 1.4 million visitors a year.
Is he trying to destroy California's economy?
At this rate the State is going to end up asking for independence.
Well, to be fair, "visitor" numbers are still going to 1.4 million per year, so...
