Fired "60 Minutes" journalist Scott Pelley says CBS News boss Bari Weiss is lying when she says there was an effort to "find a way back" for him.
"At no point did anyone in the meeting suggest there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution. Weiss and Tom Cibrowski were openly hostile from the start. 'Firing' was raised by Cibrowski in the first 15 seconds. No CBS executive, at any time, suggested 'a way back.' To say so now is disingenuous. And they know it. In fact, Weiss, Cibrowski and Nick Bilton refused to answer my questions. I asked Weiss a number of questions about why she fired the entire senior staff of '60 Minutes' a few days before and without cause. 'I'm not answering that question,' she said... These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for and reveals contempt for what journalists do."

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

RETWEET if you love Doug Emhoff!

@RBReich This is so true. The media is owned by these billionaires and the reporters who work at the major media are also well paid. Take Maureen Dowd, who wrote awful pieces about Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. We cannot listen or trust these voices!
@robreiner Rob, This is the exact reason the Dems have lost elections in the past. While the Republicans unite around a candidate, the Dems always start doubting, splitting and expressing self-interest. It's July. It's Trump. Stop your silly rhetoric, rich dude. Start uniting the Dems
@7News So none of the Republicans have called on Trump to resign, but now Democrats are going to do so based on one bad debate. This is what the Democrats have never learned from the Republicans. You don't sh*t on your own team, especially when democracy is at stake!
