Scott Pelley Speaks Out After 60 Minutes Firing, Alleges Management Told Him to ‘Inject Falsehoods and Bias’ Into Story
"CBS News fired longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, hours after he and the organization’s leadership met to discuss his future with the network.
The day before, in a staff meeting led by new 60 Minutes Executive Producer Nick Bilton, a former tech columnist with no experience producing television news programs, Pelley challenged his new boss, partly over the stewardship of CBS News under Bari Weiss.
“In the extraordinary back and forth, an impassioned Pelley relentlessly pressed Bilton on Weiss’ intentions for the storied newsmagazine, pointed out that he has no relevant experience to helm television’s most prestigious news program, grilled Bilton on what he knew about the firings, and more,” Oliver Darcy of Status reported on Monday."
