Scott Pelley’s brazen attack on the new boss of ’60 Minutes’ has divided staffers at CBS News, with some insiders branding his behavior as “bullying” and “grandstanding” — and yet another reckoning it was “a set up,” The Post has learned. Pelley laced into Nick Bilton, the new executive producer of “60 Minutes” on Monday during a meet-and-greet with staffers, calling out the boss’ lack of TV experience, challenging his vision and telling him he will “never be welcomed here.” “What did he accomplish?” one CBS source said of Pelley’s explosive attack. “He embarrassed the company and the leadership.” Network...

Actor Michael Keaton spoke out about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a rare move in a Hollywood culture where most celebrities have remained silent. The 74-year-old “Beetlejuice” actor made his opinions known at the Investigative Reporters and Editors’ 50th anniversary gala on Monday night, per Variety. “Before we start to get into the meat of this thing, I’m going to take a minute to say that, regardless of how I probably — not probably — have disagreed with many things he said, Charlie Kirk leaves behind two kids and a wife,” Keaton said during his speech. “You gotta...

Pelley, a "60 Minutes" correspondent, spoke to Wake Forest graduates Monday, the same day CBS News President Wendy McMahon said she was stepping down amid a Trump lawsuit aimed at the network over the editing of an interview...

Scott Pelley’s 60 Minutes segment on Sunday started with a disclaimer, as if he knew the segment critical of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at curtailing frivolous political lawsuits was a more than a tad biased. “It was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story, because of the fear now running through our system of justice,” Pelley explained. What he actually meant is likely that CBS leadership didn’t insist that he offer a balanced segment by finding credible sources on both sides of the topic. When Pelley introduced Democrat operative Marc Elias, the disclaimer made sense....

Let's start here with the bad news. The legacy media is every bit as manipulative and deceptive as you know they are. We already were aware of that, but Sunday night's 60 Minutes segment about 'banning books' in America put the problem in stark relief once again. But here's the good news. Conservatives are onto the game, and they know the corporate media cannot be trusted as far as you could kick them. So, when Moms For Liberty founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich agreed to appear on 60 Minutes to talk about the problem of gender ideology in schools,...

You know it's getting bad for Joe Biden when 60 Minutes has to admit the guy can't even really finish an interview filled with SOFTBALLS from them; the damage control they did before, during, and after this disastrous interview is so telling.

The show “60 Minutes” should be ashamed of themselves. They just interviewed Crooked Joe Biden, and led him along like a lost child. Each question contained the answer, and was so weakly and apologetically asked that it was a JOKE which should be considered a campaign contribution to the Democrat Party. Why should CBS get free public airwaves for this highly partisan “show,” which never apologized to me for the mistakes they made on the “Laptop from Hell?” They are protecting Biden even though he is the most corrupt and incompetent President in the history of the United States. The...

To even the casually trained observer, it’s easy to see the causal link between a weak, addled, far left President of the United States and Russia’s decision to escalate its aggression against Ukraine, as well as Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel. To anyone who is being honest with themselves, the last thing that a violence-weary world needs right now is more Joe Biden.The dutiful Democrat lapdogs in the Mainstream Media don’t see things that way, however. Along with his puppet masters, they insist on trotting this mentally vacant old fool in front of cameras so he can engage in a...

Alexandra Poolos, who was let go from the network last year, alleges the news outlet has a work culture defined by "sexism and misogyny" in which sexual misconduct and harassment by male colleagues went unaddressed.A producer on CBS’s 60 Minutes is suing the network for firing her after she was accused of harassment while turning a blind eye to “far more egregious misconduct” by male employees. The producer, Alexandra Poolos, says in a gender discrimination lawsuit filed against CBS on Tuesday in New York federal court that the company terminated her in violation of civil rights laws after she was...

A bombshell lawsuit claims that CBS’ “60 Minutes” has long been a cesspool of sex harassment — including allegations that star correspondent Lesley Stahl once asked a female job applicant whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories.” Alexandra Poolos, who worked as a producer for more than 10 years at the prestigious TV news program before she was fired in February last year, filed suit against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, alleging rampant “misogyny” at the Tiffany Network. Among her explosive claims: In 2011, Poolos was interviewed for...

RNC Research I wrote earlier about a couple of the teaser clips from the "60 Minutes" interview with Joe Biden.Those were bad, but the complete interview was even worse.

MANHATTAN, NY — This week, 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley held a sit-down interview on the universe's ecological sustainability with a figure who has been both dismissed as a doomsdayer and celebrated as humanity's best hope for longevity on earth: Thanos. "Little one, it's simple calculus. The universe is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correcting." Thanos spoke to CBS's Scott Pelley in an interview that many onlookers called "ominous" and "awkward." When Pelley pressed the hulking purple figure on "who would do the correcting," Thanos demurred, opting to rub...
