Episode Details

Scott Pelley, veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent and 51-time Emmy winner, was abruptly fired Tuesday after reportedly unleashing fiery criticism during a staff meeting, calling the editor-in-chief “murdering the show” and questioning the new producer’s abilities. The fallout follows Nick Bilton’s recent appointment as executive producer and Bari Weiss’s memo outlining a “new approach” to modernize the iconic program — a move Pelley claims is pushing the show toward bias and political favoritism. With CBS News navigating turbulent leadership changes and a legacy of hard-hitting journalism at stake, this shake-up signals a major turning point for the legendary broadcast.
