Big things are brewing at the CBS News show ’60 Minutes.’ Scott Pelley, one of the comically biased journalists for the show, is having a total mental breakdown and has accused new CBS News chief Bari Weiss of trying to ‘murder’ the show.
What Pelley doesn’t seem to realize is that if she actually did that, it would be a mercy killing.
Of course, this is all about people on the left, like Scott Pelley, being absolutely terrified by the prospect of losing control of the narrative.
Bari Weiss is not a conservative, she’s just not insane. She is not trying to make CBS News or ’60 Minutes’ right wing, she is just trying to rescue these properties from the kind of lunacy that destroyed the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Scott Pelley doesn’t realize that through his tantrum, he is proving that the point of critics.
FOX News has details:
Scott Pelley has heated confrontation with new ’60 Minutes’ boss, accuses Bari Weiss of ‘murdering’ show
“60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley had a heated confrontation with his new boss on Monday, scolding CBS News for “murdering” the iconic program.
Last week, CBS News fired “60 Minutes” correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, along with the program’s executive producer Tanya Simon and other behind-the-scenes staffers. Nick Bilton, a documentary filmmaker and a former New York Times columnist, was selected by the network’s polarizing editor-in-chief Bari Weiss to serve as the new EP.
Bilton met with the remaining staff on Monday in a pre-planned meeting to discuss the show’s future, but Pelley used the gathering to unload on Weiss after Bilton said Weiss loved “60 Minutes,” one of the news business’ most revered programs.
“She’s murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,” Pelley said. The quote was first reported by The Guardian and confirmed by Fox News Digital.
Pelley has such an inflated sense of importance and self-regard. Watch him talk about the show in this clip:

He then praises himself for pressing on in the face of such immense difficulty.

It’s all about control.
CBS’s Scott Pelley reportedly told new ’60 Minutes’ boss Nick Bilton that “I find it odd that you would take this job knowing that you would never be welcomed here.”
Fire. Him. Now.
If this happened in just about any other profession, they’d be hauled out by security ASAP.

Pelley is throwing a fit because he sees his complete control being threatened. These people are not used to that.
Would anyone really miss him if he left the show?
