BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

New '60 Minutes' Executive Producer Sends Out Memo After Scott Pelley Firing, Says Show Will Never Be "Instructed By The Ownership" Of CBS On Stories https://t.co/Vf8LfHDFVf

[Variety @Variety]

The Writers Guild of America condemns Scott Pelley's firing at "60 Minutes" amid CBS News' "cruel and needless layoffs."

"In the past year, CBS has enacted cruel and needless layoffs across the organization and shuttered CBS News Radio. In addition, based on a string of public reporting and confidential reports from WGAE members, it is clear that CBS brass is engaged in a near-constant level of editorial interference that would have previously been unthinkable... These assaults on CBS News, an institution of American journalism for nearly a century, are more than mere ideological interference with the news. They display a profound contempt for the journalism profession, for our members who have dedicated their lives to informing the public about the world, and for the ethics that underpin true journalism, chief among them honesty, integrity, and objectivity."

"60 Minutes" legend Steve Kroft says the news program has become "disastrous" under CBS News boss Bari Weiss.

“It’s the highest rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years. The audience was up about 9% last year. Why would you mess with that?" he asks in an interview that's airing after Scott Pelley and other journalists were fired from the show.
