Last week, when Paramount, the parent company of CBS News,
announced a $16 million settlement with President Trump over
editing of a segment of “60 Minutes,” many of the network’s
journalists were furious.

The deal also raised questions about the independence of CBS’s
journalism, and how much news organizations could be cowed by
threats from the president going forward.

David Enrich, an investigations editor at The Times, takes us
inside the settlement, and Lowell Bergman, a former CBS producer
and investigative journalist at The Times, reminds us that the
network has been in a similar situation before and discusses why
this time may be different.

First, Edgar Sandoval, who is on the ground in Texas, explains
what is happening in the wake of the flooding.

Guest:

Edgar Sandoval, a reporter for The New York Times covering
Texas.

David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor for The New York
Times.

Lowell Bergman, a journalist and former producer for CBS’s
“60 Minutes.”

Background reading:

Paramount to pay Donald Trump $16 million to settle ‘60
Minutes’ lawsuit.

For ‘60 Minutes,’ a humbling moment at an uneasy time for
press freedom.

More than 50 have been found dead in Texas floods as the
search for missing grows dire.
