Pelley Accuses Weiss of Dismantling 60 Minutes
Description
Scott Pelley erupted in a fiery staff meeting, accusing CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to “murder” 60 Minutes and questioning the credentials of new exec producer Nick Bilton — his voice reportedly shaking as he voiced fears the iconic show is being dismantled under Weiss’s leadership. The tension follows a string of recent staffing upheavals and Pelley’s concern over Weiss’s prior “catastrophic” changes to the Evening News. Despite attempts to privately address his concerns, no meetings occurred, leaving the future of the legendary program — which began in 1968 and has won countless awards — hanging in the balance.
