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."
🚨 CNN reporter left STUNNED in live L.A. interview: “As a DEMOCRAT, you're voting Spencer Pratt?”
VOTER: I like his approach to homeless. As a person who was homeless myself. I was able to change my life, 10 years sober...his approach is REALLY good.“
Yet again, the preening self-importance of these people is matched only by the total lack of self-awareness. The journalism they have done for decades has steadily lost the trust of most Americans. And they think those sent to change it are the problem?
If you're citing polls about what young people believe as justification for your own shifting views and values, then you're not a thought leader in any sense at all. You're just an attention-seeking fool without principles.
