Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
@AustonStachews@LeafSingh Im talking about the leafs. I’ll definitely take our future over yours (but that goes without saying). I got to eat good for a decade straight of embarrassing leafs performances. Maybe you’ll have the same luck…maybe not
@politicstcan It’s the dichotomy of half the content you see ragebaiting the hell out of you and the other half making you feel like a special little hero of your own journey. I’ve had friends scroll on their fyp for, like, 2 mins and it’s actually kind of enlightening
@politicstcan Yup. It kinda sucks that we are all so aware of our algorithm and our phone “listening to us” but we don’t always talk about it for what it truly is.
