The hosts of Fox News’ The Five could barely contain their delight over Scott Pelley’s firing, ridiculing the longtime 60 Minutes star as “pompous” and arguing the legendary newsmagazine had “murdered itself.”
The panel’s joy proves—if proof were needed—that Trump sycophant David Ellison’s destruction of CBS is taking shape. Newly installed executive producer Nick Bilton fired Pelley after a dramatic showdown over the future of 60 Minutes.
Pelley, 68, who had worked at CBS since 1989 and served as a 60 Minutes correspondent for more than two decades, was terminated on Tuesday after confronting Bilton and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss during a staff meeting.
