60 Minutes in Flux: CBS Fires Scott Pelley Amid Management Overhaul
CBS News fired Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes as part of a broader leadership shakeup under Bari Weiss, with new editor Nick Bilton taking the helm amid layoffs and staff upheaval. Pelley and others criticized the changes as politicizing the program, while Bilton defended the move. The firings follow broader cuts at CBS News, including the exit of longtime executives and correspondents and the shutdown of CBS’s radio division.
