Pelley Out as 60 Minutes Faces Backlash
Description
Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley has been fired after 22 years, sparking outrage across media circles after a fiery clash with new exec producer Nick Bilton. Pelley accused CBS leadership of “murdering” the show and questioned Bilton’s credentials, igniting backlash from Jimmy Kimmel, Rachel Maddow, Tony Dokoupil, and Steve Kroft — all condemning the move as a betrayal of journalistic integrity. A coalition of CBS staffers and former correspondents, including Dan Rather and Katie Couric, have penned an open letter demanding editorial independence and warning that 60 Minutes’ legacy is in peril.
