Former CBS News executive producer Bill Owens, who spent 37 years at the network before resigning from '60 Minutes' in April, is preparing a memoir that sharply criticizes CBS and its leadership.

According to a 22-page book proposal obtained by Breaker and reported by The Daily Beast, Owens describes CBS as the worst-run media company in America and says his book will reveal the network's internal operations.

A significant portion of his criticism is directed at CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss, who was appointed after Paramount Skydance's ownership changes.

Owens dismisses her journalistic background, questions her leadership style, and recounts what he viewed as an out-of-touch introduction to the newsroom.

The proposal also revisits Owens' objections to Paramount's decision to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit related to a '60 Minutes' interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Owens argues the lawsuit lacked legal merit and characterizes the settlement as an act of corporate cowardice driven by executives seeking to avoid conflict.

The memoir is expected to be released during a challenging period for CBS News, which has faced declining ratings for 'CBS Evening News' under anchor Tony Dokoupil.

The article also notes broader turmoil within the organization, including the recent dismissal of former '60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley following a confrontation over the network's direction.

Owens' forthcoming book is positioned as an insider's account of editorial tensions, corporate influence, and leadership changes at one of America's most prominent television news organizations.
