Jimmy Kimmel accused CBS of firing one of their most respected journalists for standing up to his new right-leaning bosses.
Veteran reporter Scott Pelley was fired on Tuesday after he fiercely criticized CBS’s new editor in chief, Bari Weiss. Weiss had been hired despite having zero experience running a broadcast news network, and she has since been reshaping the network in a Trump-friendly direction.
“She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that,” Pelley said about Weiss in a meeting with Nick Bilton on Monday. Bilton had just been hired as the new executive producer of 60 Minutes despite he too having no prior TV experience.
