Pelley Out as Sixty Minutes Reorients
Description
Veteran Sixty Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley has been fired after a fiery staff meeting where he accused CBS News leadership of destroying the show, directly targeting editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and questioning the credentials of new exec producer Nick Bilton. His abrupt exit—just days after Bilton’s letter citing “antipathy to the future of the show”—marks a seismic shift amid a wave of departures and signals deep internal turmoil at CBS News as it navigates a leadership overhaul. Journalists are rallying to defend the show’s editorial independence, raising alarms about the future of one of television’s most iconic news programs.
