Pompous Scott Pelley, Astronaut Gayle King Reportedly on CBS Chopping Block.
QUOTE: 60 Minutes’ chief pompous Scott Pelley, and CBS Mornings host Gayle King (who identifies as an astronaut), are reportedly on the CBS News chopping block, per a Daily Mail exclusive.
According to the report, far-left CBS News is in crisis “with staffers crying in the hallways, fighting over story coverage and seating, and scrambling to update their resumes amid fears of mass layoffs.”
According to the insiders who spoke with the Daily Mail, “morale has plummeted across the network, from the flagship Sunday news show 60 Minutes to CBS Mornings,” all of it due to two things: CBS parent company Paramount Global’s impending merger with Skydance Media and President Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS News for interfering in the 2020 presidential election.
Currently, the Trump suit is in arbitration and all indications are that Skydance does not want to inherit that mess, so it needs to be resolved before the merger is official.
Then there’s the reported $500 million Paramount is looking to cut “in preparation for the lucrative merger with Skydance Media against the backdrop of a ratings freefall” and the ongoing, high-level personnel shake ups.
Fallout from the merger and the Trump suit has already hit hard. No less than Wendy McMahon, the president of CBS News, and Bill Owens, the executive editor of the disgraced 60 Minutes, have already resigned.
