Weiss said she “tried to find a way back” with Pelley. Pelley released the transcript of the meeting where she said no such thing — fifteen seconds in, her own people said “firing.” Here’s the proof.
Thank you for publishing this good info on Scott Pelley & Bari Weise. I hope another great outlet with pick up Scott to continue his journalistic integrity so all of USA & beyond will ontinue to be blessed & informed by Scott Pelley’s excellent reporting
I hope he SUES the Ellisons for a huge amount and destroys CBS and all affiliates!! I have a feeling Bari Weiss’s days are numbered. No employee of CBS will trust her or ANYONE else in management ever again!! They are toast!!
Except that I doubt Bari Weiss is losing any sleep over it. I'm sure she has the Ellisons' backing in all these firings, and she knows she does. This isn't a network that's going to challenge the Trump regime in any way, and the Ellisons will reap the benefits of that in the form of contracts and tax benefits.
My decades long admiration of Scott Pelley only being reinforced by what in normal (I know, what’s that anymore?)times would be a screaming embarrassment for CBS. Moreover, may I also say that I don’t expect much from frog face business bros - they are invariably assholes, but I absolutely resent the hell out of a poseur like dimwitted Bari Weiss (among other maga “women”) for doing their fucking all to take what has been acknowledged women’s competency back to the Stone Age.
One might expect that other true journalists may find similar courage to speak truth to power as Pelley has done and continues to do. If they don’t, then they are both traitors to their profession and will be losers because they eventually will be replaced with true sycophants. Disgusting! Thank goodness for Pelley!
That was an incredible piece Dean! Bari Weiss should crawl back to the trunk of her car, close the trunk and never be heard from again. Boy did she pick the wrong guy to fuck with.
Even this good column underestimates the crass fakery of Weiss and over-estimates the naïvete of the remaining staff.
No trained journalist, no matter how young, falls for the 'mutual trust & respect' claptrap. No more than a junior used-care salesman would, forced to work for a crook.
Way to go, Scott Pelley! So good to see you are still, and hopefully always will be practicing the craft you have honed so magnificently over the past several decades.
You and other journalists with integrity and respect for the truth are the beacon of hope for journalism students around the world. And for us poor readers who are now searching in the wilderness, under bushes and behind locked doors, for the REAL stories.
Thank you Dean, for sharing this; looking forward to seeing where Scott lands. Weiss is a ssnake in the grass - a greedy, self-absorbed sellout - a new age crony with no credibility or credentials.
Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton and David Ellison are lying scum bags! Pelley was absolutely right, they will destroy 60 Minutes like they destroyed the nightly news. They are the epitome of disgusting jerks laboring under the false premise that they deserve respect or trust. They don’t! None of them is worthy to be associated with the excellent journalists who were unceremoniously and wrongly fired. Farewell to a great American journalist, enjoy a blissful and well deserved retirement away from the monsters with a MAGA agenda. Shameful but then those preening ignorant idiots have no shame!
I'm glad to see that Pelley is not going away quietly.
The truth eventually comes out in some fashion. Thank you, Scott!

Sorry Bari Weiss and company, Scott Pelley is a whole lot smarter than you and he is beloved by many

Scott Pelley = American Hero

Now, if only that conversation had been on a hot mike. That would have been the icing.
It may well have been recorded on tape, Dean mentioned that WaPo got an audio version of some sort.
Brilliant, thanks for letting me know. I guess I missed that bit.

Keep on keeping on.
🇨🇦☺️
I also want to say big, big thanks to Dean for sweeping away the dirt, so we can see, hear, read the real story. Always great details 😁🇨🇦
He is in a unique position, crafted by his dogged professionalism, to grind them into the concrete. I pray he does not stop. Dude has huge integrity.
ELATED that Scott Pelley is not going quietly, has receipts that prevent CBS "news" to staunch the bleeding🤣🤣🤣

Please don’t insult pigs. Pigs are intelligent.
I changed it, thanks!
He shouldn't 'stop' quite yet 😁....but I'm sure he is quite wealthy. I'd go off to a Caribbean island to enjoy retirement.
