A huge loss for 60 Minutes, and CBS.

Weiss is trying to change that. Canning Pelley was a great first step. I guess he saw the writing on the wall and decided to go down fighting.

Yea, he knew he was dealing with a crew taking orders from Ellison who wants that merger & he won't get it if he offends that mobster in the W.H.

He's whining though. Sixty Minutes has declined immensely with his rise. Maybe CBS will turn into an actual OBJECTIVE news organization.

That's fuckup hilarious.

He pretty much told Weiss & her lapdogs that they can go hurl themselves off the top floor. Doesn't sound like whining to me.

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.

You'd like it if Fox News swine moved over to 60 Minutes so they can suck on Trump's ass even more, right? Hey, maybe they can even do double duty if their yaps don't get worn out.

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

They really do think Trump is the greatest ever. No honor is too large. No award is too lofty.

As our institutions collapse, he's created a global economic disaster in the Middle East, Americans can't buy food or gas, our standing in the world is lost, and his polls are among the worst ever.

It really is the alternate universe.

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.

I haven’t watched 60 minutes in years and whether Pelley was a great journalist or had gravitas is debatable, what isn’t debatable is disparaging your boss, challenging his qualifications and intentions in your very first staff meeting with your new boss is just stupid, ignorant and shows what an asshole you are and why you deserve to be fired.

Pelley may be a good reporter but he is not irreplaceable as we just found out.

Imagine being so arrogant and white-privileged, you think you can talk to your boss like he did and not catch any consequences.

He can head to the loser's basement now, with Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, Dan Rather, Keith Olberman, and Chris Cuomo.
