FCC Chairman Brendan Carr slammed former "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Sunday after Pelley said he did not expect to be fired from CBS News following a heated clash with the program's new leadership.
Carr responded to Pelley's remarks in a post on X, where he argued the longtime CBS journalist's reaction reflected a broader problem inside legacy media.
"One of the reasons why trust in media is so low is because many legacy journalists are completely out of touch," Carr said.
Pelley is a whiny, little bitch and a hack. Seriously, what did he expect was going to happen after he lashed out at his new bosses the way he did? I mean, even if he really thought Weiss was bad bews, a real professional journalist would've stayed on and given her a chance to see what editorial direction '60 Minutes' was going before deciding to quit. But nah, Pelley wants you to believe that he's the good guy here and judging from his severe narcissism, a martyr at that. That's why instead of going away silently after being canned, he's throwing a fit on all these news shows and podcasts so he can paint himself as a 'hero' who stood up in the face of MAGA-extremists. Except that's a lie, because '60 Minutes' has been biased for a long time now, favoring Democrat talking points and treating Republicans much less favorably than Democrats. That said, look for Pelley to continue his newfound journey by going the Jim Acosta and Don lemon route, starting an anti-Trump Resistance podcast and bringing on a bunch of liberal journalist, Never Trumpers and Democrat establishment figures--it's all so lucrative and predictable.
