60 Minutes Shakeup: Scott Pelley Fired After Tense Exchange With New EP Nick Bilton

CBS News fired longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after a confrontational staff meeting with new 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton. Bilton said Pelley's conduct showed he wouldn’t collaborate, and a private follow-up meeting reaffirmed that Pelley's path forward wasn’t a path CBS would pursue. Pelley had criticized Bari Weiss and the show’s leadership changes, while CBS News has not commented on the firing as leadership aims to broaden 60 Minutes’ role under new management.
