CBS News fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley last week following alleged clashes with management.
Like Pelley, the firing itself wasn’t particularly interesting.
It was the reaction that stood out.
Most notable about the conniption thrown by journalists and a considerable number of elected Democrats was that it was the latest in a larger tantrum that has run uninterrupted since October 2025, when a lesbian Obama-Democrat, Bari Weiss, took over as the network’s editor-in-chief.
“Scott Pelley told the truth,” ex-ABC News correspondent Terry Moran, who was himself fired for unprofessionalism not too long ago, claimed without evidence. “So, CBS News fired him.”
Speaking in reference to the recent editorial hirings and firings at CBS, former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft said, “I think it has been disastrous for the show, for the audience, which is not insubstantial.”
