In Britain, news anchors have traditionally been called "newsreaders." That’s because this is what they are. Their job is to make sure that their hair is coiffed when they read from the teleprompter. Pelley was a male bimbo: a himbo.
Don’t tell Scott that. You’ll never hear the end of it.
Funny to see a guy who gets all his news from his teleprompter get his ass handed to him.
60 Minutes has always had an agenda
1) Look better than Ted Baxter
2) Pretend to be objective but show half-truths.
3) Appeal to the emotions of the self-appointed experts they can feel superior to the common man.
But he IS a serious douchebag.
Scott Pelly sounds like Michael Scott at his worst. He is CBS’s Michael Scott.
anybody who knows anything about how “news” shows work, know that that producers do the heavy lifting: gathering data, doing interviews, gathering film clips and organizing and editing the whole thing together into a coherent story, including writing the scripts for the talking heads to read, while the newsreader gets all the credit ...
btw, great to see producers being fired from 60 minutes as well as the talking heads, as the producers are the real source of the lies, propaganda, and bullshit ...
LOL.
I love ‘himbo’.
Few of them are actual journalists.
But many fit your description.
Scott Pelley Isn’t a Journalist....He’s a hack..............
Never heard of him until he was fired. After listening to him for 10 seconds I pegged him as a prick with ears.
“A week ago, former 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley”. You should be able to draw unemployment insurance Steve.
Interesting story about Pelley (90% certainty) in Iraq from Cynical Publius.

Pelley is a pompous horses behind.
With all due respect to the Washington Free Beacon, none of us need an article to tell us that Scott Pelley isn’t a serious journalist, or that he’s a vain, childish, egotistical prima dona. We’ve all known that for a long time.
Bkmk
Yeah, but Pelley was good at playing Frasier’s brother on TV!
Scott Pelley Isn’t a Serious Journalist
Well, they can always bring back Mary Mapes as a producer.
After listening to him for 10 seconds I pegged him as a prick with ears.

That’s funny.
There are no investigative journalists in the mainstream media anymore. All these fools do is parrot what their minders tell them to think and say. The only true journalist are in the “new media”!
