Exclusive: As Anderson Cooper exits 60 Minutes expert calls CBS move a “controlled demolition”

Published by Daniella Wilson

The news that Anderson Cooper is stepping away from 60 Minutes after nearly 20 years sent shockwaves through broadcast journalism. The veteran correspondent confirmed he has chosen not to renew his contract with CBS, bringing to a close a tenure that began in 2006 and saw him report some of the most significant global stories of the past two decades. While he will continue anchoring Anderson Cooper 360° on CNN, his departure from 60 Minutes marks the end of an era for CBS. The move also comes at a significant time for the network, following the appointment of a new editor-in-chief – a shift that some industry observers believe signals a broader recalibration. © Disney via Getty ImagesAnderson on Live with Kelly and Mark PR and branding expert Eric Schiffer, Chairman of Los Angeles-based Reputation Management Consultants, believes the timing is telling. “The new editor-in-chief role is CBS admitting it stopped building trust,” Eric said. “The network’s revealing the product isn’t just quality stories, but belief.

3I/ATLAS Spraying Something as It Exits the Solar System

Published by José Betancourt

Scientists have watched in fascination as interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, only the third of its kind spotted in the solar system so far, hurtled past several planets and made its closest pass of the Sun in October. And as it’s on its way out, likely never to be seen again, scientists are still making astonishing new findings about the extremely rare visitor. For instance, it appears to have started spewing huge amounts of water into space. Its closest pass of the Sun really kicked things off, as evidenced in observations by NASA’s SPHEREx near-infrared space observatory, which was launched a mere half a year before its solar flyby in late October. “Comet 3I/ATLAS was full-on erupting into space in December 2025, after its close flyby of the Sun, causing it to significantly brighten,” said Johns Hopkins astronomer Carey Lisse, lead author of a recent paper about the SPHEREx findings, in a NASA statement. “Even water ice was quickly sublimating into gas in interplanetary space.” The release also dislodged even more intriguing materials that potentially date back …

The planned sequel to the 1990s action movie Face/Off now has an available director’s chair. Adam Wingard, who was previously attached to write and helm, left the Paramount Pictures project last summer, with both sides mutually agreeing to part ways, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Face/Off 2 is now an open assignment at the studio, with other filmmakers pitching their own visions for the follow-up to the original 1997 cult favorite that starred John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. Back in 2019, the news broke that a Face/Off remake was in the works from producer Neal Moritz, with Paramount hiring Oren Uziel to pen the script. In 2021, the studio brought on Wingard to direct a sequel from a screenplay that he was writing with Simon Barrett. Wingard’s next feature is the forthcoming A24 thriller Onslaught, starring Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Drew Starkey and Rebecca Hall. His previous films include The Guest and the 2016 sequel Blair Witch, along with the Monsterverse hits Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire from Warner Bros. …
