I worked at CBS News for almost 6 years. It was a place that frequently drove me crazy bc of how resistant it was to change. How difficult it was to get things done bc you had to fight so many people and their “Cronkite and Murrow would roll over in their graves if they saw” mentality.
For those who think Scott Pelley was part of the problem, you are wrong. Yes he could be rigid and a stickler for certain traditions. But I will tell you now the Gen Z people I worked w all loved him. Like me, they forgave a lot of his boomer ways bc we were in awe of investigations he did using hidden cameras exposing snake oil salesmen hurting Americans; showing us how Assad was using chemical weapons on his own people; the pain of rural Americans waiting for half a day to get affordable healthcare in a parking lot of a mobile clinic; his searing interviews w survivors of mass shootings.
Yeah he was old fashioned in some ways. I used to tease him bc he always had trouble pronouncing Beyoncé’s name.
But he was willing to be pushed. He was open to new ideas. The fact that someone like me and someone like him got along so well is proof of that. The guy made me a better thinker and a better journalist.
@iboboprince336 I’m picking R Truth, the Miz or KO. After watching all their interviews on podcasts they legit seem like the most down to earth people you can meet.
CBS News has terminated “60 Minutes” veteran Scott Pelley after the journalist and executives felt they could not find a way to work together.
The move comes after a heated public argument Monday between Pelley and Nick Bilton, the former tech journalist installed last week by editorial chief Bari Weiss. https://t.co/wXXBSSZyKv
@I_Coach_Speed@SSN_Demonland This is clearly the one built and owned by LeTourneau University not the city of Longview. Either way, super nice facility for a school the size of LETU.

@educator4ever36 CTE courses mean a lot in the accountability rankings in Texas schools. We aren’t a state tested subject but we push kids to industry certifications which are hard tests. Many of us are the only reason the kid feels the need to show up to the school.
