Scott Pelley accused CBS News management under Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to inject “falsehoods and bias” into reporting after the veteran correspondent was fired Tuesday.
Pelley, who spent 37 years at CBS News and became one of the most recognizable faces of “60 Minutes,” leveled a series of extraordinary allegations against CBS News leadership without giving specifics.
“For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story,” Pelley wrote. “I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified.”
Pelley claimed he repeatedly resisted those efforts.
“To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them,” he said.
He also alleged that politicians had been given influence over editorial decisions.
“Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast,” Pelley wrote. “Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.”
Pelley appeared to be alluding to a Post exclusive which found that Weiss allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to choose CBS News correspondent Major Garrett as the journalist who would interview him — even though “60 Minutes” star Lesley Stahl was angling to get the sit-down for months.

The projection is strong with this one.
I think Weiss is making some missteps in the way she is managing CBS, but if the end result is that she completely burns See-BS down, I’m OK with that too.
Seems Pelley was doing that for over 30 years
Agree.
Smelly Pelley accusing SeeBS of exactly what HE has been doing ... for decades.
Hey Scotty boy, are you still reporting the Russians colluded with Donald Trump to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton?
Pelley is like the gal plying her trade in the bordello calling the street walker working the streets a whore.
Was that before or after you were fired, Scotty?..............
It’s their prerogative to employ or release you. Quit acting as if you are entitled.
He has no room to talk. I bet you could go through the archives of 60 minutes and easily find 100 instances of him spreading false or misleading information.
One word scotty: take your severance and move to a desert island.
Pelley accusing CBS of doing what he has been doing for years - injecting bias into story decisions and interview questions.
Imagine... injecting falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story! How is that even possible?!
Kettle...black
Think Iran/Iraq. Too bad they can’t both lose.

Fake but accurate.

He is not wrong and CBS has been doing this for a long time.
"CBS has faced multiple high-profile incidents involving false or disputed reporting, ranging from fabricated documents to allegations of politically motivated story suppression."
I suggest everyone cut the cable on the lying alphabet networks, our family freed ourselves several years ago.
