By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, 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. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

🚨 REPORT: Investigation reveals Trump officials have likely stolen over $220 million by giving government contracts to fake shell companies.

Don’t forget when Rome was collapsing emperors would use Gladiator fights to distract the people from the Corruption of the State at that time! This is all starting to make sense now. Who agrees?

🚨 BREAKING: ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi confirms the White House directly intervened to force the Pentagon to give a record-breaking loan to a startup just 3 months after Don Jr. invested in it.

The Trump administration is looting the country!

The president purchased as much as $50,000 of TKO Group Holdings even as he heavily promotes an Ultimate Fighting Championship event for his birthday https://t.co/z3D3JqndGx via @HuffPostPol

If you don't find it completely fucked up that trump is using his power to send the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE after a woman he sexually assaulted, you are a damaged human being.

Never forget. And never forget the Republican Party enabled it all.

🚨 Trump has pardoned billionaire Changpeng Zhao after his company made a deal with Trump worth tens of millions.

Zhao was imprisoned for laundering money for terrorist groups and child abuse websites.

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

Trump is now bragging over doctors being so concerned with his cognitive decline that he was given 3 dementia tests in a year and Obama/Biden were given 0.

Not the brag you think it is, Donald!

[daz @MetamateDaz]

Obama stock trades as president: 0.

Biden stock trades as president: 0.

Trump stock trades in Q1 2026 alone: 3,600+.

When do we all just admit he is a grifter and half of the American population got tricked into thinking he'd help anyone but himself and his inner circle?

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

I bet Republicans in Texas have them don't tread on me flags, let's take our country back. Vote these pricks out and you can.
