David Ellison faces criticism after Scott Pelley ouster
Scott Pelley won this fight by a massive margin, for a litany of reasons, and with his dignity and integrity fully intact. From David Ellison, down to Bari Weiss, and to Nick Bilton… CBS fucked this up so hard. What a shame.
Cricket53He knew there was no way they would let him report the truth. 60 minutes has officially become a fox opinion show. The death of 60 minutes has arrived.
seadem.bsky.social49That sound you’re hearing is Mike Wallace and Morley Safer rolling in their graves.
Maddin26Wasn’t that rather the point? CBS news is a loss leader for the Ellisons to get what they really wanted: carte blanche on the regulatory side. They destroy CBS sooo publicly, so demonstratively, for the Orange Utan to see and enjoy it all. It is their gift to him.
Ally The Ever Hopefull 🏴 🇮🇪 🇪🇺25Everyone should quit CBS and set up their own channel
Lisa Lisa and not Cult Jam 4721Colbert and 60 Minutes is all CBS had going for it. Can we all agree billionaires are anti-democratic? Come on, America. The super rich are taking our jobs, personal data, water, and electricity. They're coming for our retirement savings to make Musk a trillionaire. Wake up.
Max’s Dad16CBS will become State TV. 60 Minutes will be "American Heritage Hour" on Sunday night. - an hour of AI slop re-creating "the great deeds of great heroes of American History like Columbus and Nate Bedford Forest." we know where this story ends...
stupiditybeware.bsky.social16Sad to see the US behaving like a cheesy B movie version when a bad guy takes over. At least with the cheesy movie I can turn it off when i get bored. When will the country stand up to this orange faced buffoon??
Sherlock Ohms12Well, I already got rid of all my Paramount+ and CBS apps and blocked CBS from my over the air DTV. Where can I get a list of CBS sponsors?I’d like to write some letters and let them know that I no longer watch CBS or the affiliates and why.Also let them know, I will not be supporting them either
HawkeyeJR12CBS management sees this as a win as they follow the “Project 2025” playbook. When you have a talent of such greatness and honor in their profession as Scott Pelley, wise management of decency stands shoulder to shoulder with that talent. I just took 60 Minutes off my DVR. Thank you Scott Pelley!
PunaLady1040 years of service. Pitiful. Nick Bilton a pussy.💙

You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... sixty years." — Charles Foster Kane
Penny ~ has a salty mouth ~ Johnson9I'm done with CBS. For years now, Steven Cobert and 60 Minutes were the only shows I watched. By Felicia!
Bobby V.9New 60 Minutes logo just dropped:
RckyMtnMn8They'll convince themselves that this is what's best to build a bigger and better version of 60 Minutes. A version of 60 Minutes molded in their image. A 21st Century 60 Minutes for the modern age. A 60 Minutes for a new generation. I'm sure it'll work out as well as New Coke did back in the 80s.
Damon Mast860 Minutes is not the network, it is the staff. By freeing staff up to work elsewhere, the experience, values, and commitment to journalism those members had can now be created elsewhere to continue to hold people accountable.
🇨🇦Greg Stefan aka Fella Dogfather 🇨🇦8What will they do when the regime falls ?
Bob Lowe7No. They did exactly what they set out to do.
Amy Oddo✌🏻💙☀️6My tv no longer accepts @cbsnews.com OR anything they broadcast #BoycottCBS
mr-yoyito.bsky.social6Yeah well. All the CBS ship shows are either sunk or have hantavirus.
Kate Jagger6Fact is, when one is principled, and they stand up, they will be punished and will pay the price. So those that do truly are courageous and righteous.
NO OBEYANCE IN ADVANCE5It's time for a new era of media... led by the independent thinkers and free from corporate control. F CBS.
Dwayne Comstock5Another network needs to start a show that is just like 60 Minutes and take all of CBS’s viewership for that time slot. Have Pelley, AC, and others on it. Fucking destroy CBS.
Election_Every4#Pelley #Colbert STAND WITH THEM! #BoycottCBS FOREVER! #BoycottParamount FOREVER! Show the Ellisons that we will not support their MAGA agenda of censorship and misinformation! Take their ratings down to the basement!
Confused Penguin3They are steady on the course and performing their mission to expectations. Still, they will be used by their owner as scapegoats and will be fired in disgrace.
bigskyrad3This post ends with the word “shame”. I can assure you that right wing characters like Ellison and Weiss are incapable of feeling shame, which requires introspection and honesty.
tsalaroth3Until we’re (preferably) arresting and stripping billionaires of all assets nothing will change. Alternatively, burn them and everything they own in one big pile since it would hurt the environment less than one of their data centers. Fuck being nice and civil. Either prison or flames.
Annie Haz2Pelley has not only his integrity, but his morals & his professional standards, fully intact & burnished to a high shine! Bari Weiss et al are Trump sycophants & spreaders of propaganda & disinformation! They're also cunts!
w2u0b2b5.bsky.social2But they think they are owning the libs so they're winners 🤦.. Republicans destroy everything they touch...
goatcheesepizza.bsky.social2Ellison, Weiss and Bilton did not fuck anything up. Their job was to kill CBS and create state media for the oligarchs. So far they are doing an exemplary job of it.
slynnw.bsky.social2He’s much better off. His integrity is intact. At the end of the day, that’s what really matters.
dkcoon.bsky.social2They Were All Just Doing What Trump Told Them To Do...If They Want Any Government Help With Their Mergers...
José Machismo 🇨🇦🇪🇸🤘2Did he though? 60 Minutes is still being destroyed on purpose. He held on to his dignity and integrity, but that’s all. Although in this day and age, I guess that counts as victory. Or shooting oneself in the foot….
waiting74patiently2New rule: The Epstein Class should never be allowed to control Media Outlets, ever!
balls-balls.bsky.social2Pelley won the minor battle but republicans already won the war destroying 60 minutes and the whole cbs network which has been their goal
CBS has fired Scott Pelley for doing exactly what journalists are supposed to do: Speaking truth to power. Bari Weiss and David Ellison are a disgrace to the media industry. But they unfortunately join a large corporate club filled with disgraceful people.
LouFromBoston7CBS is done. RIP. The Ellison’s killed it. Everyone boycott CBS. Pay it forward.
Martyn Lenoble3Journalistic integrity. Thank you Scott Pelley.
Rod Dusinberre2Scott Pelley purged himself of nothing but trouble. He is worth more out of CBS than inside, I think.
Jack Sprat2Boycott all of fucking CBS.
johnvanderwindt.bsky.social2Nick Bilton is a disgrace as well.
"Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration. The waste is heartbreaking," Scott Pelley says in a statement tonight, plainly accusing David Ellison of wrecking 60 Minutes to appease Trump amid his mergers.
Justin Baragona129Pelley also accused Bari Weiss and management of trying to "inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," taking aim at Weiss for allowing politicians to "choose correspondents for interviews," and wreaking havoc with "incompetence and unprofessionalism."
Lyle Scout4CBS had one last chance to save their souls by keeping Pelley and canning Weiss and her stooge, and they did the opposite. I can't wait to see the ratings. Weiss has already proven herself to be ratings poison. This should cement that rep.
ewigeliberal.bsky.social3@ScottPelley needs to come and visit bluesky. He's going to need friends. 😔 sad day for us, fascism (corporatism) wins again.
sanneru.bsky.social2They want to end Freedom of Press. North Korean style, only praising the dear leader, hiding their failures and crimes. I am German and also see the development in the beginning of the Third Reich, it ended in a propaganda machine. All the brave people forced out or even more.
