CBS News Fires Scott Pelley of ‘60 Minutes’
Mr. Pelley, a former “CBS Evening News” anchor, was ousted after months of tensions between staff and Bari Weiss, the network’s editor in chief.
CBS News fired Scott Pelley on Tuesday,jettisoning one of the network’s best-known journalists in a clash over the future of “60 Minutes,” the country’s top-rated news program.
Mr. Pelley, 68, a “60 Minutes” correspondent and a former anchor of “CBS Evening News,” joined the network in 1989. At a staff meeting on Monday, he accused the network’s editor in chief, Bari Weiss, of “murdering ‘60 Minutes,’” citing the ouster last week of the program’s leadership team and two on-air correspondents.
“We have parted ways with Scott Pelley,” Nick Bilton, the tech journalist who was hired last week as the new “60 Minutes” executive producer, wrote in a memo to the show’s staff on Tuesday night.
CBS News declined to comment. In a formal letter to Mr. Pelley, which was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Bilton wrote that the correspondent had been “terminated for cause effective immediately.”
Mr. Pelley, in a telephone interview on Tuesday evening shortly after he was fired, said he had devoted decades of his life to “60 Minutes,” which he said he still cared about deeply.
“I have been in combat in Afghanistan,” Mr. Pelley said. “I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.”
The firing of Mr. Pelley is among the most consequential moves of Ms. Weiss’s rocky tenure at CBS. And it is almost certain to spike tensions that have coursed through the network for months.
It also raises the stakes of Ms. Weiss’s surprising decision to replace the entire leadership team at “60 Minutes,” CBS News’s most successful franchise, and hire Mr. Bilton, who has no experience in broadcast TV, to oversee the show. The program’s viewership was up 9 percent this past season from a year prior, and the show is routinely among the nation’s highest-rated weekly broadcasts, according to Nielsen….

Pelly thought he couldn’t be terminated for his arrogance.
Will Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker Exit ‘60 Minutes’ After Scott Pelley’s Firing? Everyone at CBS Wants to Know
By Brian Steinberg
The future of “60 Minutes” could well hinge on two people with deep ties to CBS News’ past.
Many staffers and producers at the beleaguered newsmagazine are left wondering whether Lesley Stahl and Bill Whitaker, two CBS News veterans who have been with the news division now controlled by Paramount Skydance since 1971 and 1984, respectively, will stay with the show in the wake of a series of stunning ousters of its top ranks over the past week. Their decisions could play a big role in whether the program will be entirely hallowed out or have some ties to the elements that have brought viewers in for years.
The decision is an emotional one, says one person familiar with the business of CBS News: “I think they feel like if they leave, there’s nothing left of ’60.’”
Popular on Variety
There is certainly less. On Tuesday night, Scott Pelley, one of the program’s most recognizable correspondents, was ousted by Nick Bilton, installed last week as the show’s new executive editor by Bari Weiss, the CBS News Editor in Chief who is intent on overhauling the series. Bilton was outraged that Pelley questioned his credentials at a Monday meeting of the show’s staff, and angry that the correspondent would not take his calls or meet him in advance of that event. Bilton and Weiss felt Pelley had created an unsustainable working environment.
“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear,” Bilton said in a letter sent to Pelley Tuesday evening and reviewed by Variety. “And I have heard you. I therefore write on behalf of CBS News to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated effective immediately.”
“Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways,” Weiss said during a CBS News editorial meeting on Wednesday. We did not want that to happen, but that’s the path that he chose.”
CBS News executives and Bilton had reached out to all the remaining correspondents last week, according to a person familiar with the matter, and engaged with many. Pelley was not one of them. CBS News declined to make executives available for comment Wednesday morning.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, Pelley said he felt new management at CBS News and its parent company had weakened the newsmagazine “apparently to curry favor with the Trump administration, adding that he felt “incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc” with the workings of the show.
Pelley’s exit will only increase focus on the correspondents left behind, say two people familiar with the program. Stahl, who joined “60 Minutes” in 1991, has made the show an integral part of her life, according to these people, who believe the choice to depart would be a difficult one for her. When Stahl began working on the program, legends like Mike Wallace and Morely Safer were still actively involved. She is on a year-to-year contract with the program, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Whitaker had in the recent past expressed a desire to stay with the show as well. Despite his many years at CBS News, working largely on the west coast, he remains sort of the “new guy” at “60,” having joined in 2014. Not too long ago, he was considered as a candidate to replace Jane Pauley at “CBS Sunday Morning,” according to two people familiar with the matter, after executives became concerned they would not be able to come to terms on a new contract.
Stahl and Whitaker did not respond immediately to queries seeking comment Wednesday, and Jon Wertheim, a “60 Minutes” correspondent who joined the show in 2017, could not be reached for comment earlier this week about his thoughts on recent changes at the program. Some staffers have interpreted their recent silence as a sign they may remain.…

“ Adam, you were censured by the U.S. Congress. You were censured. And the reason you were censured is you lied under oath. You were on the House Intelligence Committee. You knew that Eric Ciaramella never heard one word of Donald Trump’s phone call to [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, not one word.”

Washington House Republicans dished out their version of punishment tonight to Burbank Congressman Adam Schiff. They voted to censure him claiming he misled the country during the house investigation of President Trump. But fellow democrats called the vote a disgrace. Kcal political reporter, Tom Wait, is here now with what the censure means and reaction to it. Tom.
Tom Wait (00:19):
==And Juan, no surprise here. This was a vote along party lines, right? So the house’s censured members only 24 times in its history (he got the worst censure for good reason), but it is largely symbolic (not true). Schiff keeps his seat and his powers. Democrats say house Republicans have been gunning for Schiff because of the leading role he took in the Trump investigations and impeachments. Schiff said after, he wears the censure as a badge of honor.
Kevin McCarthy (00:43):
The resolution adopted without objection. The motion to consider is laid on the table.
As Democrats chanted its shame, house speaker, Kevin McCarthy, announced the results of the censure vote against Burbank Congressman Adam Schiff. The vote was down party lines Republicans intending to punish Schiff for leading the house investigation into Russian collusion with former President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Kevin McCarthy (01:10):
But the house of representative censures Adam Schiff.
My wish for Schitt for his lies about Tulsi Gabbard. I’m sure Tulsi has a lot of dirt on Schitt, she still has till 6/30/26. So Schitt should STFU but he’s too arrogant to do do.
Schiff was the only congressman in the history of the U.S. house or senate, that was ever truly censored by the House, for lying about Trump in the Committee’s investigating him and publicly telling andpublishing confidential information that were lies and not legal to release in the first place. Remember that. Schitt is famous for that.
It’s been plan and dream of mine for years, what the punishment of Schitt when he’s been full w poser and arrested along with all colliders. I’ve visualized “he is walking up the steps of Congress and a Swat Team captures him, puts handcuffs on and Schitt starts crying and peeing his pants”. Every person that sees it laughs their ass off because he’s crying little Coward bitch that tried and still is trying to destroy Trump and the people! That in my eyes will be the best justice of his retched evil life.
Then Schitt he is immediately swept up by federal agencies and taken to Gitmo asap to be tried, along with his conspirators that would destroy America. Then Gitmo televises the whole trial, and the General at the trial commit him to death by hanging. Yes this is my dream, but there’s so many more after him.
