The Doomsday Clock Ticking At Bari Weiss’s "60 Minutes"
June 4, 2026
.​

"The turmoil at 60 Minutes is one of those weird inside-baseball stories that sometimes escape the minor-league ballpark of television news. As you’re no doubt aware, billionaire progeny David Ellison completed his purchase of CBS in August of last year—after receiving the blessing of the Trump administration following a $16M “settlement” of Trump’s ludicrous “election interference” lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris which Trump had deemed “a giant, fake scam.”
.
Also part of the Ellison deal was an explicit promise to root out “political bias” at CBS News as well as a commitment to end all DEI practices at CBS and Paramount. To oversee these commitments, Ellison hired Bari Weiss, the aggrieved-opinion-columnist-turned-MAGA-billionaire-whisperer. Considering that Weiss had no experience in television news before taking the job, the results to date have been as spectacular as you’d expect."

Former CBS Correspondent, Scott Pelley, Lived Many Workers' Fantasy: Telling Off The Boss!!!!!
June 5, 2026
.​

As if Scott Pelley’s years in a glamorous, globetrotting, seven-figure dream job weren’t enough, he’s pulled off one more thing to stir your envy: a cutting takedown of his boss that went loudly public.
.
The “60 Minutes” correspondent’s searing rebuke of CBS management this week, in which he questioned his bosses’ credentials and motives, may have ended in his firing, but amounted to the sort of mouthing-off that workplace peons typically only fantasize about.
.
Pelley’s message may have been delivered in the measured baritone of someone polished by decades on the airwaves. But his backtalk stirred many who’ve felt the simmering rage of feeling a clueless boss was turning their days into a nightmare.
.
Pelley’s dressing-down came in a Monday staff meeting with the new executive producer of “60 Minutes,” Nick Bilton, brought aboard by Bari Weiss, who became CBS News’ editor-in-chief in October. Pelley reportedly grilled Bilton about the firings last week of Bilton’s predecessor, Tanya Simon, and correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, accusing management of “murdering” the program, a revered cornerstone of TV journalism and a mainstay of Sunday nights for nearly six decades.
.
“She has no qualifications for her job,” Pelley said of Weiss, according to the media news site Status, which reported he then turned his ire at Bilton. “You have slender qualifications for this job.”

The new owners of CBS fired Pelley in a transparent effort to stop the leftist lying, misrepresentations of facts, cover ups of democrat crimes, and hatred of American conservatives and Christians.
