The heartbreaking naivete of Scott Pelley
Scott Pelley, a '60 Minutes' correspondent fired by CBS News, criticized the 'cold, callous indifference' of new leadership, including editor in chief Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton, during a New York Times interview. He described emotional reactions to colleagues' abrupt dismissals and accused Weiss of favoring the Trump administration, contrasting CBS's past culture of loyalty with modern corporate practices.
