Scott Pelley, the longtime ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent, was fired on Tuesday, a day after confronting Nick Bilton, the program’s new leader, in spectacularly aggressive fashion in front of all their colleagues. Pelley met with Bilton and Bari Weiss on Tuesday afternoon, per a source familiar with the matter. In a termination letter to Pelley later that evening, Bilton lamented that Pelley had chosen to “ambush” him with “a performative display of hostility.” He added, “Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear.”
Bilton was named executive producer of ‘60 Minutes’ last week, on the same day his predecessor, Tanya Simon, who had been with the program for more than three decades, was fired. Correspondents Cecilia Vega and Sharyn Alfonsi were also fired, as were Draggan Mihailovich, the show’s executive editor, and producers Guy Campanile and Matthew Poelvoy. The staff had taken to calling the culling “Black Thursday.”
Pelley essentially said aloud what many of his colleagues had been thinking following Bilton’s appointment: that he lacks the relevant experience to lead the news network’s crown jewel. Pelley on Monday said that Weiss was “murdering” ‘60 Minutes,’ had made “catastrophic” changes to the ‘CBS Evening News,’ and has “no qualifications for her job.” He told Bilton, who has produced some documentaries, that he was only slightly better: “You have slender qualifications for this job.”

Women march in Argentina against gender-based violence after killing of teenage girl.

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ
When 60 Minutes is in trouble, we are all in trouble. When Pelley says CBS is meddling in his reporting for political reasons, believe it. https://t.co/lWpjdv1Unm

[Ahora] “Pitcher y catcher” entre gobierno y donantes quieren explotar Zona Cársica. Por lo menos tres de los auspiciadores de la conferencia que celebran hoy los contratistas de agregados, minería y construcción sobre las leyes que el gobierno de @Jenniffer y @trschatz51 trastoca para permitir la puesta de cemento en áreas protegidas, son donantes del liderato del @pnp_p, incluido el alcalde de Bayamón, @ramonluisrivera.
Los ejecutivos y ex presidentes de DB Asphalt, Grupo Carmelo y 3K Management, los hermanos José L. Y Jorge L. Ortiz Serrano; el ex presidente de Ecológica Carmelo, Edgar Figueroa Padilla y Elat Rodríguez Joubert, respectivamente le dieron $31,500 a la Gobernadora, presidente del @SenadoPR@trschatz51 y al alcalde de San Juan, @Miguel_Romero_ , según se verifica en el registro de donantes de la @OCEPR. El 95% de los donativos se dieron entre el 2023 y el 2025.
Figueroa Padilla le ha dado $7k al alcalde de Bayamón, entre 2024 y 2025. Ayer, Rivera Cruz defendió a capa y espada a la Gobernadora como una candidata a la reelección en el 2028.
Por su parte, los hermanos Ortiz Serrano son los dueños de la Asfaltera de Bayamón cuya operación ha defendido el Alcalde a pesar de ser objetada desde el 2023 por las comunidades circundantes por razones de salud.
La protesta de sobre cinco organizaciones defensoras del ambiente - entre ellas @sierraclubpr - a la que se unió el @PIPtwitteando se dará hoy en medio de los trabajos donde participa el presidente de la @JPlanificacion y el secretario del @DRNAPR en el Centro de Convenciones.
