YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCNN’s Jake Tapper details veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley’s contentious exit from CBS as both sides trade barbs through public statements.
CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss said Wednesday that her leadership team had tried to reconcile with Pelley, but “we weren’t able to do so.” The correspondent said that wasn’t true, reaffirming that he will not go quietly from the network where he worked for 37 years.
Tapper identifies the core issues that may have led to Pelley’s firing and speaks to veteran journalists Scott MacFarlane and Terry Moran for their reactions. Also, former “60 Minutes” producer Chris Whipple speaks to CNN’s Laura Coates about what he calls “huge mistakes” made by CBS management.
