"At the meeting in question, Pelley told Bilton he had “slender” qualifications for the job and that he would “never be welcome here,” sources previously told The Post."

Smart move jackass, insulting your new boss in front of a room full of other people in a meeting is ALWAYS a great move. Lol!

I guess he thought he was untouchable.....what an ego. SMH

Pelly was standing up for principle. How dare anyone representing the shareholder owners of the network intrude into their leftist media clubhouse.

“Smart move jackass”

Depends how you look at it. He is 68 years old and had been making more than $5 million per year. At that age with a presumably fat bank account, maybe he has enough and perhaps did not feel like getting bossed around by a lesbian.

In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired “for cause effective immediately.”

There is some justice.

Finally, it is actually beginning to turn. I have been SEVERELY mistreated by people of this philosophy in my jobs AND at church. This stuff is THE reason I chose my moniker when I started here in 1998 while teaching school.

This wicked, completely evil Talariquian philosophy is about to destroy this nation. If we are able to avoid a civil war, we will be LUCKY (or by the grace of God through repentance). If more leaders EVERYWHERE do not start terminating these people out of our system, we ARE going to have a civil war here and it is going to be horrific.

This explains the incidence rate of calls for violence against conservatives and for actual acts of violence by supposed-to-be professionals from all walks of life at protests around the country. They are going to fight literally before they will allow themselves to lose their power either in jobs or politics. I know them like the back of my hand. They will fight to the death to keep their philosophy going.

If people can not see this comung, they are NOT paying attention. We need our "Jonah" right now or we are doomed.

Over on Facebook people are wailing that Nazi Fascist Trump is silencing free speech, unaware that 60 Minutes has been serving them leftist propaganda for decades. It would be cool if CBS hired Nick Shirley to replace him.

Pelley wanted to get fired so he could push the narrative of Trump’s War on the First Amendment.

60 Minutes became garbage decades ago. After their hit piece on the Abrahams tank and Bradley AFV, that proved to be enough that they completely lost it.

Jesse Helms said 40 years ago CBS needed a correct takeover. David Ellison is the man. Clean up CBS, 10, and Five.

I bet Pelley sends a job application to Fox News to replace Jessica Tarlov on the Five.

His show was given a new boss.

He was not consulted.

He got pissed and sad so at the first meeting between the new guy and top staff of the show.

Now he’s fired.

Oh boo hoo, boo hoo!!! /sarc

Like the Dims the Scott Pelleys of the world are tied to Pelley has grown to believe his own myths about himself and his peers, that they are an elite you cannot challenge, because THEY have an unquestionable moral high ground - so they think.
