CBS News has fired longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley, a day after he allegedly said Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss was “murdering the show.” Pelley criticized the program's leadership during an introductory meeting Monday between the show’s staff and Nick Bilton, the new executive producer, according to a detailed report on the Status website. In a termination notice obtained Tuesday night by The Associated Press, Bilton, a former technology journalist and filmmaker with no traditional broadcast news experience, accused Pelley of carrying out an ambush against him. |
