Tune in to CBS Sunday March 24 at 7.00pm for the latest episode of the long-running news program, 60 Minutes. This evening, viewers will be treated to three new stories that delve into a range of compelling topics.
In “The Right to Be Wrong,” correspondent Lesley Stahl investigates the concerning spread of misleading information on social media in the leadup to the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Stahl explores how big tech companies are grappling with this issue, attempting to curb misinformation while facing accusations of censorship. The Supreme Court is even weighing in on whether these platforms have free speech rights and the autonomy to make editorial decisions or if they are merely carriers of everyone’s speech. Ayesha Siddiqi serves as the producer for this thought-provoking segment.
Sharyn Alfonsi presents an exclusive interview with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, in “AMLO.” Against the backdrop of immigration and economic concerns shaping this year’s race for the White House, Alfonsi engages AMLO in candid discussions about border security, immigration policies, the economy, Mexican drug cartels, and America’s Fentanyl crisis. With Michael Karzis as producer, this interview sheds light on crucial issues impacting both Mexico and its relationship with its northern neighbour.
Lastly, “Law of the Sea” takes viewers deep into the Eastern Pacific where a fierce competition is unfolding over vast deposits of critical minerals found on the sea floor. These minerals play a vital role in today’s electronics industry. Correspondent Bill Whitaker examines China’s dominant position in this race for underwater riches and reveals America’s absence from it due to a Senate logjam over ratifying the UN’s Law of the Sea agreement. Heather Abbott produces this eye-opening segment that highlights potential consequences for America if it remains locked out of competing for these valuable resources.
