Gone in 60 minutes

Article excerpt

Scott Pelley, a veteran 60 Minutes correspondent, was fired from the program after questioning CBS leadership decisions. The article suggests Pelley's dismissal came after he raised concerns about the network's editorial direction under new management figures Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton. Rather than support Pelley, fellow correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and Jon Wertheim issued a joint memo to staff distancing themselves from his position, highlighting internal divisions at the storied news program.
