Pelley Out as 60 Minutes Faces Leadership Shift
Description
Scott Pelley, veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent, has been abruptly fired by CBS after a fiery clash with new executive producer Nick Bilton. In a terse termination letter, Bilton accused Pelley of “ambush,” “hostility,” and “misconduct,” citing his refusal to cooperate and his incendiary remarks during a staff meeting—including calling CBS News editor Bari Weiss “murdering 60 Minutes.” Pelley allegedly questioned Bilton’s and Weiss’s qualifications, sparking a bitter feud that signals a major leadership rift and a potential turning point for the iconic show.
