Scott Pelley fired after accusing Bari Weiss of 'murdering' 60 Minutes

Sam Adams132

Just skipped over the “boldly standing up for what you believe” step

jimbotexan.bsky.social57

Her whole brand is based on this narrative, which is completely made up

miribernier.bsky.social33

She seems to have no self awareness or shame. She rages against DEI oblivious to the fact she is a DEI hire herself and she herself is doing DEI hiring.

Bari Weiss VS Scott Pelley

gcm5.bsky.social19

Bari Weiss compares herself to Scott Pelley who is a real journalist with an impeccable reputation. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Erinn19

She rage quit when she couldn’t get fired

toastfuker 11

Except she leaked the NYT meetings herself

westernflyer2.bsky.social10

Weiss is a puppet - this is David and Larry Ellison. They are the ones who make the calls. Really not even David, he’s a hapless nepo simp whose daddy bought him a media empire because he was a shitty actor and couldn’t make it on his own.

theotherjohniii.bsky.social9

Except Scott Pelley spent a lifetime at CBS News and @bariweiss.mirrors.bot spent about 20 minutes at NYT

Rod Green8

And that clown thinks the public will take her and CBS News' side, LOL

The Pumpkin Dipshit6

The way that she *tried* to get ousted from nyt, then quit in a huff when it *explicitly didn't work*

Mike Kinsella6

Ms. Weiss was ousted for being annoying and incompetent, while Mr. Pelley was fired for his rectitude and competence.

Felix the Bat6

I hope the rest of her life continues to be miserable. Sorry not sorry

missrobin5

I can't stop thinking about that part of it as well...she's just so blatantly bad faith and evil

Niblik ManjuSri4

😂 she was there for fours years. He was there for two decades. She was fired by the same guy who hired her. Who subsequently was forced to resign. Pelley was fired by a guy who had been there for three days.

Estee3

"every accusation is a confession" never misses with those people. you can set your watch by it.

Chris2

funny how the purpose of their persecution fantasies is the permission structure it offers to do bad things if you can claim you were wronged, you get to wrong others

Me2

This is not all about Bari Weiss over there it’s the Ellison family pro-authoritarian overlords who are reshaping media to be friendly to the dictator just as it happened in Hungary and Russia.

mskathleenquinn.bsky.social2

Hmmm. I think Weiss schemed to get ousted from NYT, as a career launch. I don't think Pelley did, but it's not uncommon for journalists to stage their Gotterdamerrung once they know the situation has become intolerable. It's a BFOQ for a 60 Minutes star to be a Grand Inquisitor. Pelley has chops.

My Two Bits2

She thinks? That is news to me.

Itgetzbybuckner35

Why is Lesley Stahl still staying on board? Would expect her resignation this week after this Scott Peltey fiasco.

RFK Brain Worm Jr.35

Bari Weiss coming in hot with the "look what you made me do" thing that abusers say. She's such a moron. We see her.

kdzenko.bsky.social23

Ironic...trust and mutual respect was lost when Weiss and Ellison came on board

Michele C. Hollow15

Nope, the foundation was broken when Bari Weiss was hired. 60 Minutes used to be great. I've been boycotting CBS. It is easy to do.

C.V. Danes13

They're going to rebrand 60 Minutes as 60 Seconds.

This is why we fight13

All of this is bad, but 60 Minutes died the same day they canceled Colbert. Everything on CBS did. How do you trust a news broadcast from a network that censors a comedian on the order of a Mad King? You absolutely don't. I commend the true journalists for trying, but the bosses will sink it.

Cheburashka12

Not to point out the obvious, but there’s something about bill whitaker that makes me wonder whether he’ll be around much longer either

Averie Maddox11

That’s what they always say when a whistleblower tells the truth.

mjfrombuffalo9

so cute that she thinks the trust was just broken this week and not months ago.

globalcatastrophe.bsky.social9

No worries, they'll soon all be replaced with regime toadies. Purges like that are common in fascist countries.

SheiSho8

I will never watch that show again. Such an utter shame. A huge part of my childhood Sundays destroyed by idiots.

truth4consequences.bsky.social7

Tragic. The amazing talents of Bill Whitaker and Leslie Stahl are likely next - because, ya know, "DEI."

gwpda.bsky.social7

Scott Pelley is going to end up owning CBS as a part of his legal settlement.

teresalfenton.bsky.social6

60 minutes lost its soul.

Paul Jacin6

It's being relabeled as 20 Minutes.

giovannivinsanto.bsky.social5

So why are Wertheim, Whitaker, and Stahl staying on? Have they no integrity?

itbeatstwitter.bsky.social5

Does Lesley Stahl need a paycheck this bad?

Ziad 😷 Fazel 🇺🇦🇨🇦💉5

Looks like the show will need to rename itself 22.5 Minutes.

Kathleen W Curry5

Arsonists are pissed when you accuse them of starting fires. Why can't you just respect and heed their malicious intent? /s

John Novio4

I think I understand how Weiss and Ellison's version of respect works, just like trump's. If a person (regardless of character) likes trump, trump will like him. They only respect someone if they are respected first and considering their qualifications, that doesn't happen often.

El Sargento García4

The only question is why hasn’t everyone walked out yet. Is Lesley Stahl-ing?

April Glick Pulito → Netroots4

and one of these 3 remainers is basically just (smartly) doing full time tennis commentating

TheSpearSTL4

Wait, did she just tell everyone that people do not respect her? I wonder why.

Gary 🇨🇦4

... 60 Minutes was the reassuring mainly non-bias news entity that we all trusted ... low and behold it's presents has become a threat to the Orange imposter ... Pelly the latest victim ... to be continued ...

Don Linn4

lmao...it was broken the minute she walked in the door

The Opinionated Retiree and Nasty Part Owner of Canada 🇨🇦3

I suspect that the other 3 won't be far behind Scott Pelley. They won't put up with Weiss and the new guy either. Consider the show to be dead now.

R Del3

The 60 Minutes team after 6 months of David Ellison and Bari Weiss.

Mikey DuCrane3

She is a terrible person RIP 60 Minutes

Josh3

I hate when I get bullied by 68 year old men who have been working in journalism their whole career

That Damn Cat3

Why are they still working there? Why hasn’t the entire cast and crew resigned? You stay you support.

boudway.bsky.social3

The ideal outcome would be to get the whole band back together at a rival network. Call the new show “One Hour” or “3,600 Seconds.” Let the Ellisons sue. They’ll lose and it will be great pr.

It’s a COVER-UP3

I have CBS blocked on my TVs now.

Fgustavek3

Oh Sug you couldn’t possibly be more wrong. That trust was broken the minute David Ellison made a deal with old Jabba the Putt to purchase See B.S. Weiss is just too dumb and or desperate to realize she’s the fall guy in this story.

Burrowcrat3

“Let’s do the fucking news” pretty quickly revealed as “Let’s fuck the news”

Carol3

It was broken when this team took over to make over CBS into state TV.

kbethany.bsky.social2

Honestly can’t figure out why Bill Whitaker and Leslie Stahl are still there

carljungfranz.bsky.social2

* Boycott Israeli CBS network * *

scaredykathy48.bsky.social2

Ms. Weiss - that foundation was broken when you took over. You have a mission, a goal, & it’s not investigative reporting and holding government, politicians and big business accountable to the people of this country & its Constitution. It’s fealty to @realdonaldtrump & Project 2025.

Dave2

It was broken by you bari. No one else

zelle1960.bsky.social2

Typical both sides Bari, she starts shit and then runs and hides

Michigan Maple Man 🍁🇨🇦 🇬🇱🥄🌲🐓⛷️🚵🏼‍♀️🎻🏕️🔨💋🐝🪵🌻🌈❄️🛶💙📎🐸2

It was broken long before Monday!

Rob Pollard2

All should have left on their own by January. I guess they wanted to be laid off / fired. It would have been more productive if they had a new venture, together, and had it going (eg via YouTube, Spotify or Substack) already. But I don’t get any indication they realize they’ve got create their own.

Maya-182

That's the way maga's roll. They co-op what sounds like literate language to use as cover for their lack of professionalism.

nina1123.bsky.social2

I can’t imagine who will be watching 60 minutes again. If Weiss thinks that she is attracting magas, she clearly doesn’t know any. I am surrounded by these folks and they really don’t have the attention span or the inclination to watch a news show. Maybe a monster truck segment.

RonVara2

I'm Joe Rogan. I'm Kid Rock. I'm Scott Jennings. I'm Tina Peters and this is 60 Minutes.

itallfuckery.bsky.social2

Ann Coulter and Megyn Kelly are available.

Quest Coalition2

I don’t know. It always surprises me when people get alarmed when corporate America does corporate America things. CBS “News” is a for-profit company. Their concerns are profit and power. The end.

We need more Shermans.4

People like Bari Weiss are demons in human form, they only lie, ruin and destroy things to the detriment of society.

Thomas 🇺🇦4

Pelley told Bilton, a former technology journalist and filmmaker with no traditional broadcast news experience, that his qualifications for the position were “slender.”

Joseph3

They’re purposely destroying society and everyone except you is letting them do it.

𝐌𝐨𝐱𝐲 ♪♫~𒀭.¸🌬️¸.𒀭~♫♪ ɪꜰ ɪ'ᴍ ʙʀᴇᴀᴛʜɪɴɢ ɪ'ᴍ ʀᴇꜱɪꜱᴛɪɴɢ→🕊☯☥2

Like it was Fox News or Newsmax - that's despicable!

Tammy2

Ironic. There’s no overstating the debacle at 60 minutes. Consider the integrity and courage we’ve seen from Scott Pelley who lost his job of over 40 years of distinguished journalism while OUR elected representatives have capitulated to Trump; staying silent to keep the jobs they refuse to do.

CubbieBear724 ✌️😷💉2

Wow! So blatant. They really don’t care. Traitors! All of them.

Wendi McClure2

Total bullshit that this regime is absolutely destroying our democracy and country, just as fast as they can! I hate this!

Jim of Pennsyltucky5

@cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @60minutes.bsky.social 60 Minutes is dead. But Bari Weiss & Nick Bolton did not kill 60 Minutes. A billionaire Oligarch's money killed 60 Minutes. Oligarchs are buying power in govt. the media & the private sector. Money is taking power from "THE PEOPLE" in every direction.

theothercatlady.bsky.social2

CBS died when the paste-eater took it over. Now it’s a carcass.

SheehanUnchained2

He got sacked for speaking to the truth...which, ironically, was what made the network's long and storied reputation.

Pitchbot Reply Guy4

Regardless of all the shitlib bedwetting over President Donald J. Trump's $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded partisan slush fund, which I do not support, it's worth noting that the GOP-led congress, which I also do not support, was courageous enough to put a stop to it. by Glenn Greenwald

Swag Money 4203

Glenn opposes the genocide on Gaza. That automatically makes him morally superior to 90% of Democrats in office

Dave in AK2

“I was a big fan of her work at CBS,” said the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un. “I’ve spent years trying to purge all the news from our media and she pulled it off in a matter of months."

VeronicaAG2

It won't work, Trumpers are addicted to Fox
