Episode Details

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley was abruptly fired by CBS News after a volatile staff meeting, sparking a bitter public feud with new leadership. Pelley accused editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of destroying the show and questioned the credentials of executive producer Nick Bilton, while Bilton claimed Pelley attacked him without warning. Weiss said reconciliation efforts failed, but Pelley countered that no real attempt was made to save his job, calling the situation a betrayal of trust. This departure marks the third major exit from 60 Minutes under Weiss’s leadership, leaving the iconic program with just three full-time correspondents.
