EXCERPT:
… 60 Minutes lost its credibility years ago. Of course Bari Weiss wants to get it back, It’s her mandate.
CBS has fired “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley, and rightly so. He betrayed journalistic principles in platforming debunked science, in being closed-minded and dogmatic, and in behaving like a pompous ass. Good riddance. https://t.co/saRQ6YCil8 pic.twitter.com/GMk7lfymP3

Yesterday, Scott Pelley hijacked a meet and greet with new staffers and accused the new CBS News boss of ‘murdering’ ‘60 Minutes’
As one commenter pointed out, “If Pelley’s intention was to come across as though he was in charge and had no desire to adapt to the changes in management, then mission accomplished.
While I am sure his colleagues will display empathy or sympathy, I can’t picture any other job in any industry where a manager or member of the leadership team wouldn’t have fired him for gross insubordination.”
This letter from 60 Minutes’ new EP, Nick Bilton, is so telling and transparent.
It’ll be hilarious to listen to anyone defend Pelley after reading this. And when they do, they will do so dishonestly.
