CBS News has terminated 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's contract following his vocal disagreements with the new leadership under Bari Weiss.

How it started:
CHAOS ERUPTS DURING '60 MINUTES' MEETING: According to Jeremy Barr of Puck News, longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley reportedly confronted new executive producer Nick Bilton and another company executive during a heated meeting Monday morning, strongly pushing back against last week's firings.

The report says producers in the room showed support for Pelley.

And Pelley reportedly didn't hold back. According to Barr, he directly called out Bari Weiss, saying: “She’s murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.”

The stunning confrontation comes amid growing turmoil and concerns about the future direction of one of the most respected news programs in television history. Just days earlier, Pelley publicly praised fellow correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi during the News & Documentary Emmy Awards.

If the reporting is accurate, this wasn't a private grumble behind closed doors, but rather it was a veteran journalist openly sounding the alarm about what he believes is happening to an iconic institution, with staff reportedly backing him up.

The battle over the future of 60 Minutes appears to be spilling into the open.

I definitely won't cry for the demise of a corrupt organization like CBS News, but replacing it with Israeli State media isn't exactly an improvement.

After my bro in law’s catalytic converter was stolen twice in two months while visiting us in Chicago - something he had to get repaired locally - he was convinced the area auto garages were in on it.
