The #Spurs are being outcoached and outplayed on both sides of the ball. At this point, the Spurs are going to be lucky if they don’t get swept.

[Stephen Sanchez @SSanchezTV]

Rooting for the Spurs but that’s a bullshit tech. Either a warning for both or T them both up.

I don’t know that “Miss You, Love You” would have done well with a theatrical release, but it deserved better than the straight to streaming treatment it got.

Demand for #TheOdyssey Imax screenings was so high that AMC's ticketing app briefly paused after tickets went on sale.

Fandango also appeared to struggle, with users reporting long wait times.

A glowing profile of Scott Pelley by Tony Dokoupil tonight on Evening News (in the A block, no less). Jim Axelrod had the explainer piece while Dokoupil highlighted Pelley's work at the network.

"Scott, from all of us, thank you," Dokoupil said to wrap the segment.

Pelley: Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc…But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

[Dylan Byers @DylanByers]

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

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.

For my part, 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.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Shorter Bolton: You were rude to me in public instead of privately so you’re fired.

The new EP of 60 Minutes wanted a correspondent to ask him the tough questions in private instead of publicly in front of the remaining staff. That’s basically what it comes down to.

#BREAK: CBS NEWS has terminated Scott Pelley's contract.
