Scott Pelley fired back with a statement of his own after Nick Bilton announced that CBS News had fired the “60 Minutes” veteran:
"New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them."
