Scott Pelley is fired, deepening the crisis at ‘60 Minutes’
After publicly challenging network leadership, Pelley became the latest casualty in a sweeping remake of CBS News
Scott Pelley is out as a correspondent at “60 Minutes,” according to multiple reports.
On Monday, Pelley blasted new “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton in a staff meeting and accused CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the iconic news show.
The Wall Street Journal’s Isabella Simonetti reported Tuesday night that Bilton sent Pelley a note to say he was being terminated for cause.
