Scott Pelley fires back at "60 Minutes" after being fired and says Paramount-Skydance is weakening the news show "apparently to curry favor with the Trump administration."
“Last month, '60 Minutes' lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos... 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. Incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc."

Scott Pelley fired back with a statement of his own after Nick Bilton announced that CBS News had fired the “60 Minutes” veteran:
"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."
"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.”

I guess @SamWitwer is still mad about losing Spybot and Rook Kast 😅
Vader, Palpatine, and The Crow confronted the Maul Shadow Lord cast at Fan Expo Denver 👀

The Secret of NIMH (1982) always felt like the animated movie sitting on the shelf next to the fairy tales nobody was supposed to read yet. Watching it as a kid felt like stumbling into a world that was genuinely mysterious, and a little bit frightening.
Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA morons, who spent years howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran.
Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.
Brilliant!
Boosting. Still, I NEED help!
If you don't know, I have brittle bones & epilepsy. In my life, I've had 150+ fractures & been on life support 2x. Still have $18k in debt & need to pay urgent costs.

Gone too soon. Tom Kane was a pillar in the voiceover community, and working with him was such a joy. He made people happy when he walked into the room.
RIP, Tom. Thanks for your talent, and especially for your kindness.
Darragh O’Farrell (legendary LucasArts vo director) would cast Tom Kane for projects all the time. He played so many characters! In 2007, he cast Tom as Captain Ozzik Sturn in @starwars#TheForceUnleashed, and had @ILMVFX capture his likeness (pictured below)
Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
