UPDATE: Scott Pelley was terminated from “60 Minutes” Tuesday evening, hours after the longtime correspondent met with CBS News leadership to discuss Monday’s clash.
“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear,” “60 Minutes” executive producer Bilton wrote in a letter sent to Pelley. “And I have heard you. I therefore write on behalf of CBS News to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated effective immediately.”
Bilton then broke the news of Pelley’s exit with the “60 Minutes” team, voicing his “unyielding support” for the remaining employees.
Read his full message to the “60 Minutes” team below.
“You should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott 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. That was not the path Scott chose. What I regret most is that this situation interfered with the conversation I had hoped to have with you about Season 59 and the future of this show. I realize this is a great deal of change in a very short time, and I wouldn’t pretend otherwise. I won’t relitigate the last week with you here. What I will commit to is this: My unyielding support for each of you, the journalism that you do and what we will do together going forward.”

So many liberals to punish.
So little time.
What he wanted. He had to know he was gone with his “thoughts” said out loud.
Scott Pelley: the latest high-profile example of FAFO.
Now he can claim the Martyr mantle..............
Does MS-NOW have the budget to hire all the CBS people who have or will get shitcanned?
“Scotty, 60 Minutes is not big enough for the two of us.
One of us will have to go!
Nice almost knowing you .... NOT!”
More winning!
You know that you’re aging when you can’t remember the decade you quit watching 60 Minutes.
He did what he did exactly for this outcome................
He’s such an arrogant douchebag.
He’s a sanctimonious dick. Remember when he moderated the Republican debate in 2012?
The most pompous news man on television.
Pompous - affectedly grand, solemn, or self-important
Good riddance.
Well ………………………….. Bye!
lol!
Pelley Is an insufferable a-hole.
