A huge loss for 60 Minutes, and CBS.

Yup, stupid people find change hard. Stupid people do stupid things, and you show that on the daily.

What a shitshow this network has become. The new boss is someone who has no experience in television, and most of his experience is as a documentary film maker, and who wants to fix something that was never broken.

Well, now it's broken. The one journalist with some real gravitas and clout, a former very effective and respected news anchor for CBS Evening News, has been fired. It remains unclear if his "termination for cause" was justified, or pre-determined, but one thing is certain, those in charge of this program have no experience.




“60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley was fired Tuesday, one day after a fiery confrontation with his new boss, executive producer Nick Bilton, according to two people familiar with the matter.

In an email to “60 Minutes” staff, Bilton wrote that the show had “parted ways” with Pelley. “I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don’t say this lightly. I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground,” Bilton said. “That was not the path Scott chose.”

In a separate letter to Pelley, Bilton wrote that he had been “terminated for cause.”

“Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt,” Bilton wrote. He called Pelley’s conduct in the meeting a “performative display of hostility — enacted in front of the staff.”

“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you,” Bilton wrote.

Pelley could not immediately be reached for comment.

The termination comes after Pelley laid into Bilton during a Monday morning “60 Minutes” meeting, when he questioned Bilton’s qualifications and accused CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss of trying to kill the network’s iconic newsmagazine, according to two staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, as well as an audio recording obtained by The Washington Post.

WaPo

Pelley is a self-important oaf. The show was never about journalism. It pushed the leftwing agenda. Very glad to see the extremists hit the pavement.

 

[Mashmont]

I had to Google Scott Pelly.

Not kidding.

Dang.

Pelley and Odonnel could be sisters!

I've long thought that.

Yet, phax is a hiring ground for maga bullshit.

The new bosses/owner at CBS are going to tear everything down in a "re-engineering" experiment in network television, and none of them have a clue what they're doing.

Where have we seen this before?

I laugh very hard at the suggestion that it takes some special skill to do a show featuring leftwing hacks. CBS if it went mainstream would be more popular, not less. People are sick of the leftwing stuff.

Trump was an outsider too. What happened? He has become the greatest president in the history of the country. So the template is there.

Wow, another post from a maga who has accepted being the stupidest version of himself.

Not a loss at all. Pelley is an unethical asshole who thought he was bigger than his boss.

Now he can start up his own podcast and see how relevant he really is.

HA HA HA! Pompous Scott Pelley got the boot. I wonder if Vanderbilt boy Anderson Cooper is next?
