🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Scott Pelley Sounded Like A Man Attending A Funeral.
Not for a person.
For a profession.
🔥 That’s why his defense of journalism hit so hard.
Scott Pelley confirmed on the record that CBS management ordered him to “inject falsehoods” into 60 Minutes coverage.
He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network.
He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.”
Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News.
He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.
The Paramount-Skydance merger closed.
The new ownership installed Weiss. Pelley is the most senior on-air voice at CBS News describing what’s happening inside.
This is what institutional capture sounds like from inside the institution.
Really proud of how our team handled a truly extraordinary set of circumstances. A roller coaster of emotions that turned out to be my favorite episode of @MeetThePress ever. https://t.co/MospdU2d0w
That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.
Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.
Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister @CarlosFdeCossio joined me exclusively to react to President Trump threatening a U.S. takeover of Cuba.
That conversation airs Sunday morning on @MeetThePress:
Phil Noble of Reuters (@philnoble1) took the incredible shot that's currently ricocheting all over the internet and the world's media. Let's make sure his name is out there and he's getting the credit he deserves. https://t.co/qLkJMy6vcf
If you've ever worked with me and had a good experience, I'd really appreciate if you could say a line or two about it on my LinkedIn

If you didn't enjoy working with me....well, maybe you were just hungry.
Thank you!
As of this morning 27 people have been recovered from the plane, 1 from the helicopter, according to the DC Fire Chief. "At this point we don't believe there are any survivors," he said.
