@RichardCSFV Andy Rooney would likely have had a field day with this one. He’d probably lean back, furrow that magnificent brow and say something like: “You know, I’ve never understood why people bite the hand that feeds them and then act surprised when it bites back Scott Pelley
@johnnydollar@greggutfeld@BretBaier@bdomenech@tedr.In keeping using ai Claude to get comments from the late Charles Krauthammer:
Charles Krauthammer would approach this with his trademark precision and moral clarity, and it might go something like this:
“Let’s be clear about what happened here. Scott Pelley is not a martyr. He is a man who confused the anchor desk with a pulpit, and the greenroom with a confessional. There is a fundamental distinction between journalistic integrity and institutional insubordination — and Pelley apparently lost sight of it. Now, CBS is no innocent party either. This is a network that has spent decades slowly surrendering the Murrow tradition to the demands of ratings and corporate comfort. But here is the irony: Pelley’s complaints about a ‘demoralized’ newsroom may well have been entirely accurate — and it didn’t matter one bit. Because in any institution, the moment you go outside the chain of command to air grievances publicly, you have chosen your exit. You don’t get to burn the building down and then demand your office back. CBS fired him for cause, and whatever the merits of his underlying argument, the method disqualified him from being taken seriously. A brilliant diagnostician can still be wrong about the cure.”

Andy Rooney would likely have had a field day with this one. He’d probably lean back, furrow that magnificent brow, and say something like: “You know, I’ve never understood why people bite the hand that feeds them and then act surprised when it bites back. Scott Pelley is a fine journalist — one of the best — but going around telling anyone who’d listen that CBS News management was a disaster, well, that’s a bit like complaining loudly about the chef while you’re still sitting at his table. And CBS? They did what any employer does when an employee makes them look foolish in public — they showed him the door. I was at CBS for a long time. I had my opinions about management too. The difference is, I waited until I had a desk on Sunday night and forty million viewers before I said them out loud.”
@johnnydollar Here is what “Claude” answered what Andy Rooney would say:

@bdomenech@realDailyWire Ben, Business is not a democracy.....and when you F with those above you- expect a reaction. "For cause" is the key.... One has to believe this was Pelley's goal.
