Wiess, installed by trump as a censor for the new state TV model to soon be expanded to the other legacy networks. After purging the network of anti trump celebrities, they have turn to the historically non partisan 60 minutes installing former Fox collaborator on internet startups, Nick Bilton. 🙄

No, that would be right on script, the more absurd and degrading the better, it’s not about changing, it’s about destroying and owning intelligent and educated Americans. The slights they are reacting to are exclusively in their “own” minds. Like a toddler who’s tantrum is ignored, they strike out

I have tried to watch rogan a couple of times, and both times these guys were just sitting around scratching their balls and talking bullshit and snorting a lot. Their opinions were so uninformed, it was boring. They should try reading a few hundred books before spouting their "thoughts".

An examination of the destruction of @cbsnews.com at the hands of the Republicans will reveal the flaw at the heart of US Media. How it prostitutes itself to get news stories, its desire to create scandals for ad revenue, to sanewash & to use of opinion pieces to replace neutrality. Appalling.

That's journalism. Asking the tough questions, pushing back when things don't seem right and standing up to others who have been ousted without cause. Bravo Scott Pelley!

He's right. Scott Pelley will find a new gig and we'll follow him there. Great respect. To take such a respected news program hosted by a history of the best in broadcast news. Suicide by imposed/self censorship.

I hope he leaves and starts a show called 90 Minutes. I really miss 60 minutes but I haven’t watched since Bari Weiss killed their story and have no intention of ever watching again.

@calidemocrat.bsky.social

She has the wrong spelling to her name. It should be Bury Weiss, because she and the Ellisons just love burying all shows the are pro-democracy and against Fascism. #BoycottCBSParamount and everything they own.

I cancelled my Paramount subscription the day they announced they were canceling Colbert. They’re just a corpse waiting to be buried now.

I'm 57. Always weird. I watched 60 minutes since the early 70s. I got a tv for my room and Friday night was 20/20 and Sunday was 60 Minutes. CBS is now ☠️ to me.

I had a best friend in rural Se Washington state. Son of a dairy farmer. He raised pigeons. To race. Sell to markets: squab. He thought of himself as an entrepreneur. He idolized DJT. His GF made him a hoodie with a green $ sewn onto it. He carried his book around. I always knew DJT was a piece of 💩

@kinkologist.bsky.social

It was Barbara Walters and Hughe Downs on Friday with 20/20 and 60 minutes on Sunday. I've always been interested in history and politics. I had classes in high school, I think it was called Current World Problems. We were given and taught using Newsweek magazines.

#ScottPelley is a man of integrity! He and the other #60Minutes correspondents have spent more time in a restroom at broadcast news than Bari Weiss has spent at broadcast news! She needs to realize she’s nothing more than a trump-ellison pawn! History won’t look upon you kindly, Dear!!!

It took a lot of guts for Pelley to do this, and it wouldn't surprise me if he gets canned for it. But if Weiss decides to dump him, then 60 minutes will be gone after 58 years of hard news. It's all up to Shitler, who is behind the whole massacre.

I admire Scott Pelley for saying out loud what everyone else is afraid to say. Trump and the Ellisons are sycophants and will destroy CBS and any other media outlet that they take over and Trump will enable them. One more reason that Tump needs to be removed from office.

Chickenshit broadcasters are shooting themselves in the foot! I cannot recall the last time i watched any show from the 3. With Nexflix et al making better serials, who needs the 3? Now, eben less so!

Bravo to Scott Pelley for speaking truth to power right in their faces. I was 12 when 60 Minutes debuted so I can't say I've watched since it's inception, but the "true" legacy of 60 Minutes has resonated in my life since the mid 70's. I'm sad to say goodbye, but I say it with true conviction

I think all those journalist should leave cbs and ‘buy the rights’ to 60 minutes name and start somewhere else 😉

I will never watch any CBS show again. The new owners may think they're at the beginning of something special, but, sadly they are not. The viewers who respect journalism will turn elsewhere while those who support this administration have no interest in the truth or information of any kind.

I heard an idea for the 60 Minutes alumni... Gather together and reconstitute at another network or platform, call it, "The Hour". Maybe Steven Colbert could revive the Andy Rooney segment.

James Baum

Couldn’t agree more! He was absolutely brilliant and magnificent in this horrible situation! 60 Minutes and everything else on CBS WILL NOT BE WATCHABLE ANYMORE!

suzanneelaine
@suzanneelaine.bsky.social

He is absolutely correct! Bari Weiss has zero understanding of how to.preserve the audience CBS has built, over the years Rather, they are going to change the message, and shove it down our throats!

Bilton looks and sounds like every boss with "slender qualifications" I've ever had. He was told he wasn't welcome then ended the meeting saying thanks for being so welcoming. Tone deaf asshole: "enjoy the bagels"...while your career & ethical standards are being murdered.

@poggis-mom.bsky.social

I started to laugh hysterically when I read this. “For me, the journalism is the journalism,” Mr. Bilton said, according to the recording. “That is why I am here. That is why we are all here.” Are these people supposed be smart. That sounds more like corp bs speak. CBS will be gone soon.

Anyone still supporting the Trump regime is supporting the destruction of the American democracy and pedophiles. Resistance is necessary. 💯MAGA is fascism. America is still mostly deeply under reacting. Depose the baby raper dictator. MAGA is destroying the democracy right before our eyes. 🤦‍♂️👎🗑️🤮

@1objectiveobserver.bsky.social

Welcome to reality, Scott. I can't believe you still work at CBS. I used to think you had integrity. When you walk away and take the rest of the correspondents with you, I may start to believe in you again. CBS as a whole is not credible anymore, so you should not be lending your talent to them.

@kincheloe.bsky.social

I grew up watching 60 Minutes with my parents. It was a ritual, and it was an enriching one. While it hasn't been what I'd call "hard hitting"journalism (ala Rather/Wallace/Reasoner) in the past couple of decades, it was still interesting. It is now dead. CBS is dead. On purpose. And it's sad.

My mom died in 2017. Belfast NI street kid. Called herself a “wee toughie”. She had strong opinions and was a razor-sharp judge of character. She adored Scott Pelley.

And when confronted, of course the new boss curls into a ball and cries, "Stop threatening me!" The weakest, thinnest skinned people in the whole of the world are Republicans.

DCTBlackwell
@dctblackwell.bsky.social

Bad enough they're destroying a great show, but how absolutely clueless (or callous) can they be to think it was a good idea to hold a meeting shortly after they fired talented staff members. No wonder Pelley was furious - on all counts.

luswims.bsky.social

Class act in the face of classless people. How awful for the staff to be fired, and replaced by someone so inexperienced as this guy appointed by ill-suited for CBS as Weiss. CBS is gone…

If journalists can’t be critical of a President’s questionable behavior and policies, they need to be critical of their employer’s biases.

If Scott sees a problem or issue I respect and believe him. He is one of those truthful and sincere reporters who actually care about the big picture in our society. Go Scott! You will have a following no matter where you go. I am a fan.

He’s not wrong. I won’t watch anymore as they are only doing heavily moderated puff pieces. That show has been a weekly staple for me for over 20 years every Sunday evening. Now…no more.

@magmar40.bsky.social

I stopped months ago. Just gave up Sunday Mornings. Not missing it. That’s the sad part for @CBS - something you used to look forward to that you find easy to do without… They’ll never recover that audience. I don’t miss Amazon either. Saving a lot of money on impulse purchases!

Damn, go Pelley! Mr. Pelley added: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she’s made at the ‘Evening News’ have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”
