CBS News fires ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent Scott Pelley after clash with new producer

CBS News fired veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday, a day after he confronted the show’s new executive producer at a heated staff meeting.

“Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you,” “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton said in a letter addressed to Pelley, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News.

“I therefore write on behalf of CBS News, Inc. to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately,” Bilton added.

The sociopathic oligarchs see it in their interest to align themselves with autocrats. We're looking more like Russia every day.

Next project for the Ellisons: take over CNN and convert it into another Trump propaganda machine.

I commented on Pelley's termination in my "life of a Prole" post, commenting on his willingness, when CBS news anchor, to run blatant propaganda for US intervention in Syria. But, no matter how much you stab yourself in the back, to meet a "JC's" demand, the "JC" is going to demand more. Given Pelley's past performance, I am surprised that he had a limit to how low he would go, but apparently, the Ellison propaganda machine exceeded it.
