Fired 60 Minutes veteran Scott Pelley has fired back at CBS bosses after his unceremonious firing on Tuesday night, blasting the network and accusing its new bosses of pandering to President Donald Trump.
Newly installed 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton, who has no previous TV news experience, terminated Pelley’s contract on Tuesday in a brutal leaked letter. Pelley has been at CBS since 1989 and has been a 60 Minutes correspondent since 2004.
Bilton, 49, accused Pelley, 68, of “misconduct” after a fiery Monday morning “ambush,” where the veteran questioned his qualifications and accused CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss, 42, of “murdering” 60 Minutes.
