CBS News has fired veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley a day after he confronted the show’s new executive producer at a heated staff meeting.
“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you,” “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton said in a letter addressed to Pelley.
“I therefore write on behalf of CBS News, Inc. to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately,” Bilton added.
Pelley’s exit deepens the turmoil at “60 Minutes,” the leading newsmagazine on American television. In recent months, “60 Minutes” employees have clashed with CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss over the show’s editorial direction under its new corporate owner, Paramount Skydance, the media company run by technology scion David Ellison

Even Stevie Wonder saw that coming
That brought a smile to my face.
Sounds like a set up conflict so he can do his own podcast.
I have not followed all the ins and outs of what’s going on at CBS. I’ve heard some liberals talk about how they don’t like what’s happening there. But I didn’t know why they were saying that.
You can’t just take issue with the boss like that. Whether you’re in broadcasting or some other line of work, you just don’t antagonize your bosses. This sounds like a FAFO situation with Scott Pelley.

I’m not up on this stuff. I don’t watch any Enemy Media.
Was he fired for refusing to be, ‘Full Frontal Communist?’
niiiiice.
I can’t stop laughing. The Left is eating it’s own. The rats have each other by their tails. I could go on all night.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving a-h-.
He told off his boss in a company meeting.
You cannot allow such behavior in a subordinate. You kick him to the curb as fast as you can. What an arrogant jerk.
Well, there ya go. ;)
His salary was $7 million/year.
Probably will not go hungry.
Boo-eff-hoo.
“The leading newsmagazine on American television. “ 😂 Whistling past the graveyard.
For being an insolent pric.....
Here’s hoping Stephanie Stahl throws a tantrum
