Ignoring the obvious issue of firing Scott Pelley for a moment, why write this letter?

Who’s the intended audience? Who does Nick Bilton think he’s convincing with this?

[Miles Howard @MilesPerHoward]

I’ll never forget how many people in the media industry, including people at top level journalism outlets, gave Bari Weiss the benefit of the doubt when she was mostly fixated on the excesses of leftist college students.

[Jeremy Barr @jeremymbarr]

NEW: Bari Weiss just addressed the termination of Scott Pelley on the network's morning call just now.

Weiss: "I know I speak for myself, and I hope I speak for everyone here when I say that I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect. We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday, and despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren't able to do so, and so we had to part ways.

We did not want that to happen, but that's the path that he chose. That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work that Scott Pelley has done for CBS and for 60 Minutes over the course of his career."

She then listed some of his stories from the past season and called them "unforgettable stories."

Well worth a read - the NYT publisher on AI:

"Our profession has been too quiet, too passive and too fragmented in the face of abuses by the companies leading the AI revolution. We cannot watch as AI companies attempt to permanently dismantle the rights that give us control over the work we create. We cannot sit by as this work is used to build replacement products that undermine our ability to earn the audience and revenue necessary to continue reporting the news."

Party affiliation doesn’t matter anymore. Start designating politicians as either (C) for corporatist or (P) for populist.

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

This is one of the most cucked things I've ever seen in my life. Unbelievably pathetic attempt to suck up to his potential future bosses. Absolutely wild.

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

It’s safe to assume anyone in media with a version of this take is trying to get hired by Bari.

The Coolidge is a Boston institution thanks to its workers, and they deserve a better contract.

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

A strike could be coming to one of Massachusetts' most iconic movie theaters.

The Coolidge Corner Theatre Union says workers voted 67% to reject the theater's "last and final" contract offer and will now set a strike date unless negotiations continue.

New: More than a dozen Maine voters told me that their support for Graham Platner isn't wavering after his latest scandal.

“I want a senator, not a saint. I want policy action, not gossip,” one voter said.

This is a fight over who controls the future: the people or the powerful elite

[Jeremy Barr @jeremymbarr]

UPDATE: Scott Pelley called out Bari Weiss, saying in the meeting: "She’s murdering 60 mins. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that."

[Meghan Ottolini @Meghan_Ottolini]

The weather is actually getting really nice, that’s how you know the weekend is over in New England

[Miles Howard @MilesPerHoward]

Once again, I’m not even remotely interested in how anyone except Maine voters feel about all of this.

[Vic Vaiana @vicvaiana]

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

[John Squires 🎃 @FreddyInSpace]

So OBSESSION is about to make MORE in its third weekend than it did in its first weekend or its second weekend. While facing massive direct horror competition from BACKROOMS. This kind of thing just doesn't happen. MAY 2026 has truly become a historic month for the horror genre.

[Luke Barnett @LukeBarnett]

Somewhere out there a 14 year old is sneaking into Backrooms or Obsession and it’s going to create a forever love and appreciation of horror movies. As someone who knows that feeling well, it makes me very happy.

[TylerCWhitmore @TylerCWhitmore]

Haven’t been this optimistic about the state of movies in a long time. The energy at the theaters right now is something special. Obsession and Backrooms buzz is real and extends far beyond just the internet.

This is unironically how so many men think though

[Yaz Minsky @Yaz_Minsky]

The Hansen story is such a nightmarish, perverse artifact of its age of mass media that any truthful telling would be like a modern Videodrome and there's no way-- ah. I see.
