Scott Pelley fired by CBS

[u/cccdddyyy]

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/jun/02/scott-pelley-60-minutes-cbs-news

[u/JimHeckdiver]

He lost it on the new management and said his mind.

Sorry he's gone, but good for him standing up.

[u/MentalSky_ → u/JimHeckdiver]

the new management makes accusations about his conduct like he is a new hire that crossed the line.

The dude was a monument at CBS

[u/Helenium_autumnale → u/MentalSky_]

This is one of those events that reflects poorly on the person doing it, not the victim. Respect to Scott Pelley and best of luck with his next endeavor.

[u/Mcmunn → u/Helenium_autumnale]

They needed him more than he needed them…

[u/Bobby837 → u/Mcmunn]

Only they didn't know what to do with him, aside firing.

Weren't going to get him to tow their line, promote their narratives, so him leaving was just a matter time.

[u/OfferMeds → u/Bobby837]

*toe. Toe the line.

[u/WretchedBlowhard → u/OfferMeds]

That line keeps moving all over the place, someone's gotta be towing it.

[u/SamTheLab_213 → u/MentalSky_]

CBS doesn't care. They axed The Late Show with Stephen Colbert over "ratings." There's no doubt also a political motive to getting rid of 60 Minutes, too. Trump was really pissed over an episode of that show and the new owner of CBS seems dedicated to pleasing our new king. Fuck CBS. I'm hopping over to Youtube and watching the Australian "60 Minutes" instead. CBS can go piss themselves for all I care.

[u/SouthboundPachyderm- → u/SamTheLab_213]

Don't bother with Aussie 60 minutes.

Four Corners is the real Aussie investigative journalism show. Maybe 7:30 report too

[u/Zebidee → u/SouthboundPachyderm-]

Also, for an eye-opener, see the Australian show 'Mediawatch' which calls out media bullshit, even in its own, state owned channel.

[u/Kalelisagod → u/SamTheLab_213]

Ratings show he was constantly 2-3 in the rankings and 1-2 in certain demographics. Which is hilarious to say his rating dipped. CBS is trash

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/Kalelisagod]

Bari Weiss was installed to make it so. Fucking piece of shit.

[u/RFK_Cum_Regimen → u/Hesitation-Marx]

You have to wonder who's paying off these fucking demons. Could it be the neofeudalist tech billionaires? You don't say

[u/Sonoranpawn → u/Hesitation-Marx]

I find it amazing that Trump was able to get support of the people who were thrown into the camps and also the people who would have ran them.

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/Sonoranpawn]

Yep.

I don’t have any good words to say about Bari Weiss.

[u/tilclocks → u/SamTheLab_213]

Always follow the money. These idiots see $$$ with Trump and don't realize once he's gone they'll have nothing left. It's not the 80s anymore.

[u/tellmewhenimlying → u/tilclocks]

Nah… they’ll have plenty of money left, just slightly less influence and access to the people in power, but still plenty of and too much influence and access.

[u/whatproblems → u/MentalSky_]

maybe it’ll trigger a cascade effect

[u/Alwayssunnyinarizona → u/whatproblems]

I think that was the administration's goal. According to Pelley "they're murdering 60 minutes."

60 minutes is dead to me anyway now. It had a great run.

[u/redacted_robot → u/Alwayssunnyinarizona]

The whole staff could just move to ABC or somewhere else and make "43 Minutes + Sponsors"

[u/Ntroepy → u/redacted_robot]

That would be quite awesome to see! The ultimate payback!

ABC - are you listening?

[u/Aoiboshi → u/Alwayssunnyinarizona]

The golden age of 60 minutes was Andy Rooney

[u/RaiderDuck → u/Aoiboshi]

"Did you ever wonder about corporate newsroom takeovers?"

[u/jpiro → u/RaiderDuck]

“What’s a Bari Weiss anyway? It sounds like a tool you’d use to squeeze berries and make some juice nobody really wants to drink.”

[u/SouthOfTheNorthPole → u/jpiro]

You two have nailed it! I could hear his voice.

[u/0o0o0o0o0o0z → u/whatproblems]

Waiting for Lesley Stahl now...

[u/jpop237 → u/MentalSky_]

Reminds me of The Insider when Mike Wallace lambasts CBS corporate for sticking their nose in News.

• "Mike..."

• "Try Mr. Wallace."

My, have times have changed.

[u/Beetlejuice_hero → u/jpop237]

Bruce McGill - one of those actors everyone recognizes but few know the name - has a spectacular scene in that film.

Great Michael Mann film. He was on a roll in the 90s with that, Last of the Mohicans and Heat.

[u/JazzBassMan → u/JimHeckdiver]

He cashed his chips in. He also did it in a way that I think most of us wish we would have the guts to do in his situation.

[u/VegasMaleMT → u/JimHeckdiver]

I'm of the opinion that the veterans of CBS News and 60 minutes should have walked out when Bari Weiss spiked the El Salvador episode.

Why would you stay after that? To be a doormat?

Leave on your terms, when you clearly have the means. But I'm glad the damn is breaking it seems.

[u/SovietShooter → u/VegasMaleMT]

I would imagine there was a sense of duty; 60 Minutes is the pinnacle of the journalism business, and I imagine these folks have a sense of pride. They aren't going to quit, CBS is going to have to fire them.

Also, keep in mind for context, that they'd already fired Alfonsi and Vega shortly before this meeting took place, so Pelley was not only speaking his mind, but defending the integrity of his coworkers.

[u/_MrDomino → u/SovietShooter]

This and you would still look to affect some kind of change if possible, though it was going to be difficult as management and ownership have all the power. I'd argue it's also better to not have walked in response all at once -- it looks less like a tantrum response and keeps the upheaval by Weiss in the news longer.

[u/Coldkiller17 → u/VegasMaleMT]

It's my problem with all the "reputable" news stations they started throwing away actually reporting the news to appease a narcissistic child rapist who kept blackmailing them to steal more money instead of fighting back and destroying him. Their credibility is gone I stopped watching 60 minutes after they pulled that segment it was insane they even pulled that shit.

[u/itsallgood013 → u/VegasMaleMT]

They should have walked out when Bari was hired. If not when Ellison took over.

[u/Tacitus111 → u/JimHeckdiver]

As a Klingon once said, “Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.”

[u/BrizerorBrian → u/Tacitus111]

Emiliano Zapata Salazar

"I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees."

[u/MonkeyWithIt → u/BrizerorBrian]

Sounds better in the original Klingon.

[u/LittleShrub → u/Tacitus111]

Also, Peter Garrett.

[u/oneplusetoipi → u/JimHeckdiver]

He was good. Kept the show respectable.

[u/NotAPreppie → u/JimHeckdiver]

I'm betting his contract was written up by a highly competent lawyer... this is probably going to have repercussions for CBS.

[u/Mode_Select → u/NotAPreppie]

At the very least sue and make them go to trial just to completely blow management apart. Make it public, force their hand

[u/unfinishedtoast3 → u/NotAPreppie]

Not likely at all.

Standard media contracts have non-disparagement clauses in them for tv personalities.

He knew what the risk was and likely doesn't care. Good on him for standing up

[u/BFH → u/unfinishedtoast3]

He didn't disparage them in public though. Someone else was recording.

[u/jasdonle → u/BFH]

I hadn't heard there was a recording. The reports were all second hand from people present.

[u/lordunholy → u/jasdonle]

I'd love to hear it cut right through that putz when he said it.

[u/cha-cha_dancer → u/jasdonle]

The meeting that led to the blowup was recorded per NBC but the follow up with Pelley and Bilton I think was private.

[u/mlorusso4 → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Did he ever say anything publicly himself? I thought he just spoke up at a company meeting and other people leaked what he said

[u/Ohrwurm89 → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Pelley didn’t disparage anyone.

[u/KarmaticArmageddon → u/Ohrwurm89]

Since when is telling the truth disparaging?

If the truth disparages you, then you fucking suck.

[u/MoonageDayscream → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Is it disparaging to say true things? the new guy is not qualified and has no experience.

[u/MRintheKEYS → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Yeah almost like “do I really want to serve out the remainder of my contract working in this newly formed shit hole???? Nah, fuck that. Let me clear my throat for a minute.”

[u/BubbleThinker → u/unfinishedtoast3]

The contract was with the American people. And CBS broke it.

[u/CutHerOff → u/JimHeckdiver]

He did not lose it. He said what needed to be said to fascists

[u/Fortestingporpoises → u/JimHeckdiver]

He reported the news. Fascists don't like that.

[u/intecknicolour → u/JimHeckdiver]

the whole cast of journalists should just resign.

a sad way to besmirch the legacy of a groundbreaking current affairs/human interest story program.

i'm sure mike wallace and ed bradley and morley safer are spinning in their graves

[u/expungant]

CBS is fuckin cooked. Hundred year old institution dismantled in record time

[u/DaddieTang → u/expungant]

Maga is like a locust invasion

[u/John_Rustle98 → u/DaddieTang]

I’ve said for a while that these people and their ideology are a disease. This news just further proves it.

[u/zeCrazyEye → u/John_Rustle98]

When Musk keeps talking about the "woke mind virus" it's, again, projection. It doesn't take brainwashing from a media propaganda bubble to become "woke", it just requires observation and empathy.

[u/FredFredrickson → u/zeCrazyEye]

Remember last year when they spent a couple of months trying to convince us that empathy was some kind of moral deficiency?

I'm glad that didn't resonate.

[u/StalphReadman → u/John_Rustle98]

The cancer has metastasized. It has its greasy orange fingers in everything at this point. Once it finally dies it’ll still be very difficult in removing its taint from everything its touched over 8 years. It might as well be leprosy as well because nobody in the world will want to come close after the damage it’s done on the world scale.

[u/somethingrandom7386 → u/DaddieTang]

Now that's just offensive to locusts

[u/Nebuli2 → u/expungant]

This has always been the goal: dismantling the free press. As Scott Pelley pointed out, that is exactly why the current leadership was hired.

[u/SeacoastGuy74 → u/Nebuli2]

His firing only supports his argument.

[u/NeitherCatNorFowl → u/expungant]

60 minutes was must watch TV for me. Haven't watched it since last year. Think of all the stories told over the decades. 

[u/Not_Sure__Camacho → u/expungant]

Like what POS Trump is doing to our country.  

[u/StronglyHeldOpinions → u/expungant]

MAGA destroys everything it touches.

[u/kenc1842]

Done with 60 Minutes and CBS.

[u/kaiiizen → u/kenc1842]

Fuck everything Paramount touches.

[u/Eddfan36 → u/kaiiizen]

This for me too. 

[u/gnuoveryou → u/kaiiizen]

Let's put it this way: I'm not paying to watch South Park anytime soon.

[u/Transphattybase]

Pelley had nothing to lose, if he wants to work he’ll have a new job next week.

CBS is a sinking ship, so, hope that felt good Bilton. You’ll be looking for a new job soon enough too.

[u/LazloHollifeld → u/Transphattybase]

He had his integrity, and he wasn’t willing to lose that.

[u/Transphattybase → u/LazloHollifeld]

He knew damn well they probably let him go. Good on him for speaking up.

[u/cardboardunderwear]

Good for him.  He was too good for it anyways.

[u/Prestigious-Leave-60 → u/cardboardunderwear]

I suspect he was angling to be fired.

[u/am19208 → u/Prestigious-Leave-60]

Now he can have some time off and then likely have a pick of nearly any job he wants

[u/mistersmiley318]

Bari Weiss is an absolutely colossal piece of shit

[u/TDGHammy → u/mistersmiley318]

That’s not a bug. That’s a feature.

[u/vinr001122]

Bari Weiss continues on her mission of tanking CBS.

[u/PetriDishCocktail → u/vinr001122]

Exactly, she's doing exactly what she was hired to do.

[u/pilemaker → u/PetriDishCocktail]

Right? I learned today Paramount paid her $150m to do this, I guess.

[u/Coool_cool_cool_cool → u/pilemaker]

Paramount is so stupid. Everything is so stupid. We're watching the pillaging of the American people and "journalist" being paid off to make sure it doesn't get reported on.

[u/elykl12 → u/Coool_cool_cool_cool]

It's not them stepping on rakes. They didnt hire Weiss to turn a profit. Trump's allies hired Weiss to burn CBS to the fucking ground.

They are getting returns on their investment.

[u/Ja3k_Frost → u/elykl12]

It’s actually a lot less trump in this case than bari Weiss. Shes a grade a grifter who found her place as the (personably) charismatic cosmopolitan woman who tells rich techno-fascists exactly what they want to hear.

She worked at the NYT for a while as their token conservative voice. She tried to get herself fired more or less in solidarity with the guys out there getting canceled in the me too movement as her entrance to conservative media but they just never fired her, so she had to submit a lukewarm resignation.

Shes mostly made her career off being a “feminist who thinks the left has gone too far” and mostly wrote articles in favor of various figures who got canceled.

I’m sure how you can see how this appeals to wealthy men who run companies. So naturally they support her running all the media. She’s just dumber goebbels.

[u/Li_liminal_spaces → u/PetriDishCocktail]

She wants to hire Joe Rogan lol… the brain rot ensues.

[u/AHrubik → u/Li_liminal_spaces]

Joe Rogan News Tonight produced by Taylor Sheridan.

[u/Mabvll → u/AHrubik]

"Brought to you by DudeWipes and Monsanto".

[u/cha-cha_dancer → u/PetriDishCocktail]

Which Pelley said in the meeting that led to this lol

[u/shifty1032231 → u/vinr001122]

The only thing of 60 Minutes I watched after her take over was the unaired CECOT story that was mistakenly aired in Canada.

She ruined 60 Minutes. Outside of sports I don't watch anything else on CBS.

[u/Ginmunger → u/vinr001122]

Mission accomplished

[u/Sweatytubesock → u/vinr001122]

She will bankrupt them. Sad, but good riddance.

[u/DataCassette → u/Sweatytubesock]

Isn't the entire Paramount operation saddled with crushing, borderline comical amounts of debt at this point?

[u/CirnoWhiterock → u/DataCassette]

Yes, but like with Musk's purchase of twitter the money is not what they care about, its about controlling the message.

[u/Paulpoleon → u/CirnoWhiterock]

Controlling the message will make them far more money on other things than they lose on purchasing the media

[u/CirnoWhiterock → u/Paulpoleon]

Just preventing Bernie Sanders or another progressive from becoming president and instituting thier tax plan saves people like Musk literally tens of Billions.

[u/Jimbomcdeans → u/vinr001122]

Thats the point. Delete the free media and install your puppets. Fox News 2.0 incoming.

[u/International-Fig830 → u/vinr001122]

Another Trumper!

[u/invyros]

He also called out Weiss and Bilton for terminating Pelley because he pushed back aggressively during a staff meeting, despite the anti-cancel culture positioning of Weiss’s company the Free Press.

"Free" Press.

[u/SuCzar → u/invyros]

Cancel culture is only bad when it goes the other way, obviously/s

[u/Tacitus111 → u/invyros]

He was fired for not being Politically Correct enough for Weiss, that’s all. And Weiss is the Political Officer.

[u/kevnmartin]

Of course. These people hate the truth. Fuck CBS, I'm done with them forever.

[u/GearsFC3S → u/kevnmartin]

Haven’t had any reason to watch CBS since Colbert went off the air. He was the last thing keeping me watching.

[u/fleebleganger → u/GearsFC3S]

That was like 10 days ago

[u/WallyMcBeetus → u/fleebleganger]

Tomorrow it will be 11 days ago.

[u/Kekeguy7 → u/kevnmartin]

Genuinely excited to see the fall of CBS at this point!

[u/pixelpionerd]

Everyone should be quitting anyway Fuck CBS

[u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476 → u/pixelpionerd]

Fuck Bari Weiss

[u/rclonecopymove → u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476]

Fuck Larry Ellison and his ugly ass son.

[u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476 → u/rclonecopymove]

Nick Bilton can go fuck himself as well

[u/glakhtchpth → u/rclonecopymove]

The dad, Larry, looks like a statue that Madame Tussauds rescued from a display fire and are still contemplating whether he’s salvageable.

[u/OutlawSundown → u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476]

Fuck the Ellisons

[u/selfhostrr → u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476]

Fuck Bari Weiss

[u/davidw223 → u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476]

I mean sure, fuck Weiss. But she’s just the symptom. Fuck the Ellisons and all the Epstein class that are fucking our country over at the minute.

[u/GotMoFans → u/pixelpionerd]

See BS

[u/Backbeatking]

His agent's phone should be ringing if there are any actual news organizations left.

[u/mlavan → u/Backbeatking]

he'll go to some independent outlet. or if msnbc had any sort of smarts, they'd hire him

[u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476 → u/mlavan]

PBS maybe?

[u/davidw223 → u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476]

That would be amazing but he’d have to take a serious pay cut. They lost their funding and have been having problems since then.

[u/AHrubik → u/davidw223]

He’s very wealthy. Working for PBS for pennies would be a hell of a swan song for his career.

[u/davidw223 → u/AHrubik]

Agreed. And I would probably do it if I was him, but that’s easy to say since it’s not me personally and I’m not the one seeing the missing dollars from my bank account.

[u/ElCochinoFeo → u/Backbeatking]

Depends on what his contract said. Someone at his level should get some decent F-off money. But his contract could also have a non-compete window, so he might be untouchable for another news outlet. You'd assume he would write a book, but once again depending on the contract, it might have to be about something other than his tenure at CBS News.

[u/tsrich → u/ElCochinoFeo]

Not sure how enforceable a non-compete clause would be when you're fired

[u/Icypalmtree → u/ElCochinoFeo]

Meh, he can come to California. Noncompetes are illegal and unenforceable here.

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/Backbeatking]

There aren't, at least not with any money.

[u/bugs3483]

Fuck CBS and all these cunts sucking up to Trump.

[u/Hardass_McBadCop]

Reminder that when Wiess doesn't want CBS to do honest news stories. She wants them to do stories that "surprise & provoke."

[u/RickyRocaway]

When keepin’ it really goes right, well done Scott

[u/Ritaredditonce → u/RickyRocaway]

Thanks for the 22 years of journalism Scott. CBS is crashing and burning in real time.

[u/Antique-Freedom-7891]

I bet thats a weight off his shoulders

[u/Grins111]

Die on your feet or live on your knees. He did the right thing.

[u/Caffeine_Cowpies]

I hate that I have to love this because 60 minutes was a staple in my house.

I remember fall being one of the best times in that I would watch an NFL game on CBS and then right after was 60 minutes which was almost just enough time to then flip over to Sunday night football.

Now it’s just not the same and it’s tragic, but it’s also completely predictable when you have a right wing billionaire who wants to N 60 minutes because that will help them consolidate more power in their hands. Fuck them.

[u/JJ_Vaughn]

Trash organization, Barry Weiss is the anti christ

[u/CondescendingShitbag → u/JJ_Vaughn]

 Barry Weiss is the anti christ

Is she a personal friend of Peter Thiel? He knows about the anti-christ.

[u/thatgibbyguy → u/CondescendingShitbag]

She is doing the bidding of that whole cabal of neo feudalist tech douches.

[u/maxn07 → u/thatgibbyguy]

you should trademark "neo feudalist tech douches"

[u/rclonecopymove → u/CondescendingShitbag]

I'm sure Thiel and Ellison have some shared connection 

[u/Theduckisback → u/JJ_Vaughn]

No, she's just a pathetic sycophant whose sole talent is sucking up to the most evil people on earth.

[u/SummonMonsterIX → u/JJ_Vaughn]

Oh please shes just one of many sniveling sycophants doing the bidding of more sinister evils, lets not give her undue credit.

[u/thewhitedeath]

Don't watch CBS, and cancelled Paramount because of Colbert. Fuck them. Not a penny from me ever again. I'll pirate shit if Paramount ever happen to put out anything I want to watch. So far I haven't had to worry too much about that.

[u/EyeUsual9400]

Bari Weiss is a talentless hack

[u/Carb0nFire → u/EyeUsual9400]

I mean, that's exactly why she was hired. They didn't want someone in there competent to mess up their plans.

[u/Tight_Television_249]

Scott Pelley has more integrity in his little toe than Barry Weiss will ever have in her entire body. Good on him and thank you, sir for your service.

[u/One-Emu-1103]

I'm sorry to hear it but I am not surprised. CBS has gone MAGA and no longer values journalism.

[u/mrhooha]

Bari Weiss is a piece of shit.

[u/Brabos2]

Bari Weiss and George Santos are always competing for highest national disgrace.

[u/TheShiGuy]

State controlled media. Democracy doesn't have much longer to live.

[u/MusicHearted → u/TheShiGuy]

Live? We're in the Weekend at Bernie's stage of democracy.

[u/Dairy_Ashford → u/TheShiGuy]

the settlemetns and merger stuff were state control, but Weiss has all kinds of deep-seated anti-BIPOC and anti-LGBTQ sentiment that is driving her choices.

[u/SP_Superfan]

The 60 Minutes reporters should start their own show on YouTube. They're the ones that gave the show its reputation.

[u/Algae_Mission]

Block the merger, this will happen at CNN too.

[u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476 → u/Algae_Mission]

You want the Trump administration to block this merger? Good luck with that

[u/eats23s → u/Icy_Entrepreneur_476]

Fortunately state’s attorney generals can enforce Clayton Act by suing to block. Several are doing that right now for the Nexstar TEGNA merger, which the Trump FCC and DOJ gleefully approved.

[u/michaelkap70]

He stood his ground. Good for him. CBS is a sinking ship

[u/BlueMonza]

So, they have no intention of even looking like a credible news source.

[u/Ryanlew1980]

Every single thing Trump touches turns to shit. This is all to appease someone who has loyalty to no one. What a pathetic point in history that’s being recorded right now. These will be seen as some of the weakest, most feckless people of all time, and the ones who voted him in will be seen as the stupidest. Congratulations.

[u/Travelgrrl]

I give him credit; he went out swinging!

[u/sickofwords]

Long way from the likes of Walter Kronkite, Dan Rather and Bob Schieffer, Fuck CBS for what they’ve become under Weiss.

[u/Pottopher]

I hope everyone left at 60 Minutes walks out. They're completely and intentionally ruining that show for trump. It's a sad moment in our history.

[u/RNBSN91]

Another patriot speaking truth to power. History will judge him well.

[u/Raul_Duke_1755]

When we look back at who stood up proudly to these fascists, Scott earned his spot this week. Thank you Scott Pelley.

[u/Upset_Match_3705]

ABC or NBC has a chance to do something really funny with a news show they could call “One Hour.”

[u/brandt-money]

CBS is falling apart with goofy Bari trying to run it. She's a walking disaster.

[u/Decent_Recover_9934]

This should scare the shit out of everyone.

[u/wncexplorer]

In all my decades, CBS & PBS were the only mainstream news that I paid any attention to.

Fuck CBS, Weiss, Ellison, and every other piece of shit that ruined this storied network!

[u/UglyPineapple]

This was the plan all along from CBS. Scott knew he was gone once Bari took over, he went down fighting and exposing the incompetence of her leadership.

[u/Backpacker7385]

You couldn’t pay me to tune into CBS at this point. Fuck them and their kowtowing to the crown.

[u/SilverIdaten]

Glad he spoke out against the husk that CBS News is now. Fuck MAGA.

[u/CantAffordzUsername]

I loved 60 minutes but CBS executives destroyed it, fk them. Sad seeing him leave, but at least he’s standing up for what he believes

[u/dethmetlbrah]

This is what was going to happen, CBS was intentionally bought by Weiss to be ruined like Twitter with Musk

[u/LoadsDroppin]

Replaced by Special Correspondent, Joseph Rogan

[u/HardcorePhonography]

They should all quit and go work for Stephen Colbert, who will produce "60-ish Minutes".

[u/reagan_baby]

I had actually been pretty settled on CBS News as a tolerable, trusted news source for a couple years before this takeover. Now, app is deleted and I avoid clicking on their links.

[u/Odd_Collection7431]

bari weiss is a propagandist traitor to the american people. we won't forget.

[u/iBizzBee]

CBS, and a ton of "mainstream" media are now MAGA Pravda.

[u/tmorg5]

Wasn’t so long ago I wouldn’t have believed that CBS could even die. But it’s dead

[u/djm19]

I think he obviously knew the writing was on the wall. Good on him for speaking truth to power.

[u/aliamokeee]

Do correspondents get unemployment?

Id love to be a fly on the wall of that unemployment hearing.

Fuck CBS

[u/j_la]

As he noted, they are there to destroy the program and this firing is evidence of that.

[u/Snapplestache]

Oh that dude in the meeting got mad as hell huh

[u/CableDawg78]

I'm shocked!
Nope I'm not. Good for him for standing up and speaking truth.

[u/HawkeyeJosh2]

Remember when CBS News was a respected journalistic enterprise?

[u/Plenty_of_prepotente]

5 minutes ago I read an article reporting that Nick Bilton said he would not be intimidated by Scott Pelley. I thought to myself, "100% Scott Pelley is fired," because the right wing is not only very insecure and unable to tolerate dissent, but they also always say the opposite of what they mean.

[u/snapchillnocomment]

Far be it for me to shed a tear for any mainstream media outlet, but it's kinda sad seeing an institution lines CBS dismantled so quickly, all in service of a Zionist billionaire's whims. 

[u/RoarOfTheWorlds]

He should go at it Price is Right style and join a new network to host a show called 59 minutes

[u/IngsocInnerParty]

The rest of 60 Minutes should resign tonight if they have any integrity.

[u/Silly-Resist8306]

I have watched 60 minutes nearly every Sunday for more than 50 years, all the way back to the days of Mike Wallace and Harry Reasoner. I won't be watching another one.

[u/Blochamolesauce]

Capitulating Bastards & Sycophants

[u/AudibleNod]

Cancel your Paramount+ subscription, mateys.

[u/mcmatu]

He and those gone from 60 Minutes should start their own YouTube Channel. I’m sure they’d get enough subscribers and Patreons to do great work.

[u/bigfanofyourmom]

CNN or MSNOW should come out w a 60 minutes replacement called One Hour

[u/GovernmentSin]

Friendly reminder to cancel paramount + if you have it

[u/Less_Tacos]

CBS is just another PGN, pedo glazing network.

[u/GreyBeardEng]

Maga is the disease with no cure.

[u/Open_Mortgage_4645]

Bari Weiss and the hack she hired to run 60 Minutes just trashed someone who gave 40 years to the program. Pelley saw the writing on the wall, and he knew that Weiss was going gut 60 Minutes and turn it into a MAGA magazine that trades on the reputation built in large part by Pelley. 60 Minutes is dead even if they continue producing content under that name. Bari Weiss pulled out her dick and pissed all over it. Whatever uses the 60 Minutes label from now on is garbage that intends to soft-sell MAGA ideology to an audience who thinks they're watching a program they've come to know and trust. Fuck Bari Weiss and her new lapdog. I hope the failure that 60 Minutes becomes hangs like an albatross around her neck.

Clown organization. He's going to have his choice of network.

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/MandoDoughMan]

Nope. They are all getting co-opted by MAGA billionaires to control our minds.

No one takes CBS news seriously anymore anyways.

Scott Pelley is about to get a new job. Don’t know quite where, but I’m sure it will pay well.
