Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss needs to be removed from CBS News because she, not he and CBS News, are biased: “She brings an ideology into CBS News where that is just anathema.” And he equates running CBS News to flying a 747.
@LuluGNavarro, @NYTimes The Interview podcast host: “Do you think Barry Weiss needs to be removed?”
Pelley: “Oh, gosh, yes. She’s a lovely person. And her Free Press organization that she founded has been very successful. She’s proven that, great for her. But television’s not her thing. She brings an ideology into CBS News where that is just anathema. And so it’s a terrible fit. It’s probably not her fault. But it’s just a terrible fit. She doesn’t know television. She doesn’t understand how it works. She doesn’t have management experience for a large organization like CBS News. So yes, I do think that we would be far better off without her. Maybe she goes back to the Free Press and has a sterling career. But this is like somebody walking up to me and saying, there’s a 747. There are 400 people on it. We need you to fly it to Paris. I’m going to decline because I don’t have a clue.”
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
🚨🇬🇧 People keep saying, 'Stop saying the far-right are just baby-brained imbeciles with no understanding of history, politics, the world around them, or irony'. Then I see things like this.
The left are laughing because you are too stupid to see the difference between police murdering a black man because of proven, entrenched institutional racism, and a white man dying after being murdered by another member of the public, a killer the police caught and the courts jailed for life.
Taking the knee was a protest against the state killing black people because of their race. Henry Nowak was murdered by a private citizen who is now serving a life sentence for it.
There is no institution to kneel against here. The system you're protesting already did its job.
And you're kneeling to a Michael Jackson track written about the exact racism you spend every other day insisting doesn't exist.
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SH*T UP!! 😂😂
@TheCinesthetic It doesn’t fall apart but TENET.
The first 30 mins have
- Opera siege
- Kitchen fight
- Mumbai raid
- Vault fight
- Plane hanger
Loved it in 70mm IMAX
🚨 NEW: Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon previously claimed women “can’t drive” and get abortions for “vanity purposes” to “shag anyone they want”
He admitted: “I’m sexist, sorry but I am”
@FranklinH3000 I’m off to see TENET in 70mm IMAX tonight and I’ll give a definitive answer.
I’ve watched that movie in a dozen different formats and his mixing is misunderstood.
Dark Knight Rises on the other hand…
So I went on a deep dive last night into the archives of the suspended X account of Reform UK’s Makersfield election candidate, Robert Kenyon.
This is what I found… https://t.co/GQKIgavjCK
Hi Russell, considering I am the only Labour Councillor on the authority and I was not at the induction (as I have been here 9 years), this is a complete lie and a breach of standards @reformexposed
On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.
