CBS News doesn’t need to prove itself. It already did — decades ago, when Edward R. Murrow set standards that still define broadcast journalism, when Walter Cronkite became the most trusted man in America, when 60 Minutes invented the newsmagazine format that everyone else still imitates.
That legacy creates both weight and freedom. Weight, because CBS News operates under expectations that would crush lesser organizations. Freedom, because when you’ve already proven you’re serious, you don’t need gimmicks to attract audiences.
Stream CBS News live on BusinessTech.news and watch journalism that remembers what it’s supposed to be doing.

[live_stream stream_name=”cbsnews_live”]The Tiffany Network’s News Division
William S. Paley built CBS into what became known as the Tiffany Network — programming so polished, so refined, that it set industry standards. That philosophy extended to news. When Paley hired Murrow to build a news division, he gave him resources and independence that allowed CBS News to define what broadcast journalism could achieve.
Murrow’s broadcasts from London during the Blitz showed Americans what war actually looked like. His “See It Now” takedown of Senator McCarthy demonstrated television’s power to hold demagogues accountable. His “Harvest of Shame” documentary forced America to confront migrant worker exploitation that everyone knew about but nobody acknowledged publicly.
That tradition — uncomfortable truths delivered with precision and authority — runs through CBS News to this day. When the network commits to a story, it doesn’t chase trends or pander to demographics. It pursues truth regardless of commercial considerations.
Programming That Defines Broadcast Standards
CBS Mornings (7am-9am ET): Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil, and Nate Burleson deliver morning news that treats viewers like adults. When stories matter, they get time and depth. When stories don’t matter, CBS Mornings doesn’t manufacture importance. The show trusts that intelligent people want substance, not just distraction with their coffee.
CBS News Live (continuous streaming): The digital stream operates with the same editorial standards as CBS’s broadcast programming. Anchors like Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers maintain CBS’s commitment to accuracy and clarity throughout the day. Breaking news gets covered without breathless speculation. Developing stories get context without endless repetition.
CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell (6:30pm ET): O’Donnell anchors with authority earned through decades of reporting from conflict zones, political campaigns, and breaking news. She doesn’t read headlines — she contextualizes them. When she tells you something matters, she explains why with specificity that respects your intelligence.
60 Minutes (Sunday 7pm ET): Still the gold standard for television journalism after five decades. Investigative pieces that take months to produce, interviews that actually extract information, storytelling that makes complexity accessible without simplifying it. When 60 Minutes airs something, other news organizations follow up on it for weeks.
Face the Nation (Sunday mornings): Margaret Brennan moderates the Sunday show that doesn’t need theatrics. She asks pointed questions, follows up on evasions, and creates space for substantive policy discussions. Politicians know they can’t hide behind talking points here.
The Correspondents Who Carry the Legacy
Scott Pelley brings 60 Minutes’ investigative rigor to breaking news coverage. When major events unfold, he anchors with the same precision he applies to long-form investigations. No speculation, no filler — just clear reporting of verified information.
John Dickerson combines deep knowledge of American history and politics with the ability to explain both clearly. His analysis illuminates without pontificating. When he says something matters, he shows you why through historical context and concrete examples.
Lesley Stahl has conducted some of television’s most memorable interviews over four decades at 60 Minutes. She asks questions other journalists avoid and doesn’t let powerful people dodge accountability through charm or intimidation.
Major Garrett covers the White House with institutional knowledge that comes from reporting on multiple administrations. He understands how government actually works, which means he asks questions that reveal information rather than just generating soundbites.
Why CBS News Stands Apart
CBS News doesn’t chase Twitter trends or optimize for viral moments. The network operates on the principle that serious journalism serves democracy, and democracy needs journalism that prioritizes accuracy over speed, depth over noise, context over conflict.
This philosophy costs money. CBS maintains foreign bureaus, investigative teams, and correspondents who specialize in beats that don’t generate daily headlines. The network could cut these resources and probably improve quarterly earnings. But CBS News understands that short-term profitability matters less than long-term credibility.
That credibility pays dividends when major stories break. During crises, audiences turn to CBS News because they trust the network won’t sensationalize or speculate. They know CBS will tell them what’s actually happening, not what might be happening or what some analyst thinks might happen.
