Scott Pelley accuses Bari Weiss of tampering with 60 Minutes
Bari Weiss is holed up in her private CBS suite, inaccessible to staff and surrounded by a few handpicked sycophants, such as the former NYT Chik Fil A sandwich guy. Normal, competent editors do not act this way. Via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social
Bill Grueskin175Same. Though I wish they had! bsky.app/profile/hele...
Helen Kennedy102I've had some terrible editors over the years, but none of them literally locked themselves away.
Anna Lind-Guzik77Wow she’s already in the bunker phase
Jamie Boudrie24Live your life in a way that you don't need to lock yourself away from your own staff.
Social Greedia22If only she were haunted by the ghosts of Edward Roscoe Murrow, Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. and myriad others.
lerris.bsky.social17I don't see any feasible way CBS can be saved. Best for everyone to avoid directly or indirectly supporting it and do what they can to make it go out of business. I do recommend the rest of the 60 minutes cast and crew resign and find a new home, though that is easier said than done.
Habeas Jocus13Lol she got Matt Lauer's old office.
meta12Might be time to bring out the head of lettuce.
William F. Tulloch10She's just mimicking the mediocre white men who surround Donnie the #Deplorable and live on military bases instead of in DC. They're all incapable of dealing with regular people.
Louise10I've stopped watching all CBS programming. Until she's gone I won't go back to CBS.
Lucinda River Lantern9The normal editorial process of meeting with people and collaboratively developing stories is woke. Safe space paranoia is red pilled.
Doug8A true 'woman of the people', rubbing elbows with the unwashed only when required, otherwise locked away in her glass tower ...
Steve Cook6Dictators start this way. Do you think she'll find a body double, after a while, for company cafeteria, and such?
Your Canadian Girlfriend4she's like a bad college football coach.
Just a Cog4Strikes me how a gay woman can be so supportive of an admin that hates gay women.
LHommeDeDialogue3My sources tell me she is now living on a diet of cottage cheese and ketchup.
Trump/GOP=Nazis. Stand w🇺🇦🏳️🌈🇬🇪🇵🇸🇨🇦🇪🇺🇨🇭3Führerbunkers come in many forms but the occupants are all the same.
Jason Chirevas3None of this should remotely be a surprise. That things like this have shocked, shocked so many in the national media is a big part of the reason these people are winning. They are the scorpion. We’ve been frogs for far too long.
gnarlygale.bsky.social2she’s in her safe space
bskwitter.bsky.social2Is she saving her pee in mason jars yet?
Jon Thatcher2Maybe making Kalshi bets on how long she will remain employed at CBS…
Scott Pelley, in his own words, spilling the tea on Bari Weiss
🐸SayItToMyFace❌👑11See BS will never have credibility until major changes occur
anonamouspixie8We need new networks for ethical, fact based journalist Scott Pelley ,Comic Relief Communicator Stephen Colbert and others NOT on the Trump hell bound train to horror. Can't Hollywood and other Millionaires come together and make it happen? I know you can. That will be an awesome step for humanity.
@debbie1565I love that he’s talking, but had he not been fired, would he have just stayed quiet?
God-Emperor Tsunami 💙 #FBPE #BLM #GTTO3She must have known that this would happen. Incredibly short sighted on her part.
scottblah.bsky.social3I have to revisit this. Why aren't we prosecuting these leaders for promoting lies? Why aren't we indicting them? All of them. Fox News, Newsmax, all of them. There is no consequence for lying to the public. It should be against the law. Prosecuting people would stop this bullshit.
Geo - Blue Resistor 🇺🇸3Bari Weiss killed CBS #BoycottCBS
juhneenhow she/her2You all did twist the story!!! That’s exactly what you all did! Yes you stopped but don’t pretend you aren’t guilty
Farage will pay your medical bills. Account suspended! Why? 😥😢2I "look forward" to Bari Weiss's coverage of Israel.
I didn’t think it was possible to have a worse opinion of David Ellison, Bari Weiss and the leadership of Paramount and CBS, but watching this Scott Pelley interview makes me dislike them even more. Not just incompetent. But just bad. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePqd...
Mark5At least he’s telling us what and who they are
veritasmedianow.bsky.social4What bothers me most is that this country made these people and they are hell bent on destroying it.
ws75.bsky.social3CBS is a total disgrace. The best journalists in America for nearly 60 years destroyed by a lying criminal president and the billionaires who own him.
jutjutjoanney.bsky.social2"Bad&Incompetent" is the "New Conservative".
thepowerdroid.bsky.social2I wondered how these people could look at themselves in the mirror, but I realized that the truly soulless people leave no reflection.
Atomic Bum2They're stupidity and ignorance weaponized.
Jeri2Repellent is another term that seems fitting to describe such people. Looking at them is like seeing a pool of shit or vomitus on the floor.
Roger H Charles2Moral vacuums encased in human skin: ghouls.
Paula (Fella) 🇺🇦💙💛2I divorced myself from Paramount/CBS. I doubt they miss me and I certainly do not miss them.
My favorite part is when Scott Pelley said "She doesn't know what she's doing" .... and they gave her a BIGGER job... Because Bari Weiss job has never been managerial or editorial... her job has always been propaganda nypost.com/2026/06/09/m...
Solomon191Bari Weis is girl Joe Rogan... she just kinda saunters around sprinkling disinformation on things
Crooked Bridge9At the end of the day, the loss of revenue will be her demise.
thedentalmama.bsky.social8She’s doing what she was brought in to do-blur the truth.
Finals Knicks3There is nothing you can't accomplish if you're willing to say and do anything a billionaire wants.
Failing up. As someone said a while ago, her key skill is getting rich people to give her jobs she’s not qualified for and can’t do.
Before Bari Weiss slowly strangled 60 Minutes to death in front of our eyes, Scott Pelley interviewed me about the work of Bellingcat youtu.be/keQFk4z7nRI?...
bjmacke96This is, in case you're looking for it, the full 13 minute segment www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfSe...
Eliot Higgins86You can support the work of Bellingcat here, which is needed more than ever after Trump and Musk's USAID funding cuts wrecked our entire sector for everyone in it, even if (like Bellingcat) an organisation didn't take funds from USAID www.bellingcat.com/donate/
StrictlyChristo 🇺🇦🌻8Watching this segment now. Thanks for posting! ✌️❤️
Days after the Scott Pelley fiasco, Paramount celebrates Bari Weiss for carrying out her orders (destroy 60 Minutes, turn CBS News into a disinfo slop factory). nypost.com/2026/06/09/m...
Eli Valley129(And yes I'm aware there's an 85% chance the "source" is Bari Weiss)
Zeroisanumber5The source is absolutely Weiss herself.
vap4If you assume the end goal of Bari Weiss is to turn CBS News into a conservaslop news site with a thin veneer of centrism, she's doing an amazing job!
Dave Walker2Always good to remember here that David Ellison is running this giant company because his dad is rich. College dropout who "started" a movie studio with dad's money and connections to dad's rich friends.
Bari Weiss has been largely MIA and holed up in her secured sixth-floor suite at CBS News as David Ellison personally intervenes to assuage the concerns of rattled “60 Minutes” staffers, Status has learned. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...
Jen Rubin52lol. Incompetent, in over head. Coward. No wonder she and Trump get along
Lisa from CT 🎯👊 🇺🇸 🔥5I think they’re likely both in over their heads. Barri Weiss is the Ellison’s wrecking ball.
gnarlygale.bsky.social5one might say that scott pelley fired her
sandy2950.bsky.social2Cowardice could be an infectious disease.
Scoop: CBS TV boss George Cheeks met with new "60 Minutes" EP Nick Bilton for dinner on Monday—just as David Ellison personally intervenes to assuage concerns at the newsmagazine. Meanwhile, Bari Weiss is holed up in a bunker at CBS News HQ. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...
AMPTsuper2Anecdotal comment: At lunch yesterday, a good friend who does not access social media of any kind mentioned the CBS disaster and noted the names Bari Weiss and Ellison noting they were done with CBS. Scott Pelley was the last straw. Even people who aren't dialed in see it.
Social Greedia2I hope the ghost of Edward Roscoe Murrow barges into her bunker and exclaims: "Good Night, and Get Lost."
Zonker2Has anyone retrieved Bilton's deleted tweets?
Glad to see some actual independent thought on the whole Scott Pelley thing. Well done @masnick.com - Bari Weiss Asked 60 Minutes To Lie. Scott Pelley Had Already Done Plenty On His Own. www.techdirt.com/2026/06/08/b...
Linda2Of course Pretti did not deserve to be gunned down in cold-blood. His killing was savage. The detail of him kicking in the tail light of the cop car was salient. If researchers had come across it in the normal course of reporting as opposed to after editing it would have been included.
ScottinMarin2Yeah my first thought when I saw the interview was this particular part where Pelley is clearly telling on himself.
