The firing of "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley marks the latest and most dramatic chapter in the upheaval surrounding the storied newsmagazine and CBS News, as Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss moves to reshape both the program and the news division more broadly.

"This is journalistic interference," former "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft tells @GeoffRBennett. "It makes no business sense whatsoever. It's the highest-rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years."

As we're still getting a few calls about this - the Trump campaign chose not to be included in the Oregon Voters' Pamphlet this year.

It costs about $3,500 for a presidential candidate. They also need to get 500 signatures. Oregon GOP and SOS confirmed.
