Just curious.
Last night I watched The Insider, and a lot of the story revolves around 60 Minutes. A key plot element is a story they are planning to run about Big Tobacco and how explosive this story could be and how huge of an impact it could have on the tobacco industry. It's considered to be a VERY BIG DEAL since, at the time, 60 Minutes still had the viewership to move mountains.
I still DVR 60 Minutes and make a point to actually watch it every once in a while. Sometimes I'll also watch Dateline, 20/20 and 48 Hours.
It made me wonder about the relevance of 60 Minutes and similar programs today. Do any of you guys watch any of these programs, or something similar? What social impact do you think programs like this are able to have today?
