Veteran anchor Scott Pelley was fired by CBS News on Tuesday, a day after his explosive meeting with new 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton.
Bilton announced Pelley’s termination in a letter addressed to the longtime 60 Minutes correspondent, obtained by Mediaite.
“Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt,” wrote Bilton. “Yesterday’s performative display of hostility enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation demonstrated that you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress.”
No surprise here as Pelley is a self-righteous prick, a narcisstist and a liberal hack posing as an objective journalist who got his panties wet after CBS hired Bari Weiss in a serious attempt to do real journalism instead of catering to wokeism. Besides, now that he's fired Pelley can be his true self: start a podcast, go join the anti-Trump Resistance and be a regular on Jim Acosta's podcast berating Trump and the GOP every minute.
