The job of journalists is to measure what people do/say against the truth, not what they different people say against _each other_. That's just a gossip page.

Sums it up👍

I have not seen those dumbass comments yet and my blood pressure is grateful.

Pelley can better afford to speak out than someone just starting out, but that makes the senior people chiding him even more craven. I hope they like the taste of boot leather.

MAGA knows bootlicking.

So say us all

Maybe tell your new bosses about that Phil bsky.app/profile/ctne...

There’s plenty of those

Imagine where we would be if, from day one, everyone stood up for what was right, as Pally did. Instead the bent over & paid him in lawsuits they would have won. He started a war to get Epstein off the news. It worked.

I’ve heard people criticize Pelley for speaking so bluntly in a team meeting vs. privately as “performative.” At a time when journalists have been shockingly silent in defending their colleagues, I applaud him for responding exactly as he did!

Or become a GOP Congressman.

👏👏👏

I know Business Insider is trash, but look at the clowns they call “smart people”. 😂

A good deal of them are WH new media(right wing podcasters) like the "journalist" who asked Mehmet Oz about TDS at the press conference today, so that tracks.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. Better horror out there. I read it, even when I disagree. But this one about 60 Minutes was, uncomfortable. It's a hot take for sure, but missed all the context about the 60 minutes firings and overall morale. My "hot take." Anyway, have a great day Corey!

That dude is always, always on the wrong side of a given issue It's like a superpower with him, if mediocrity could be a superpower

I thought that he was mentioning the Puck partner. 😅

If you're a journalist who thinks it's wrong to call out your boss for turning a venerable institution into a fascist propaganda machine, then you're not a journalist.

That’s all of MSM. For decades. 🐈🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Journalists write to sell ads.

Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. Basic.

The sad reality in this world is that there's always another bootlicker who has no problem doing more bootlicking.

Amen. First journalist I’ve felt proud of in a long while. Pelley probably wouldn’t have stood by silently while one of his colleagues was called “piggy”.

you can not be nice to these people.

See-bs. PBS is the last bastion for credible news reporting now.

They should be thanking him! He’s the only one with integrity! They all are a bunch of cowards.

Yes, I just saw that.

Not surprising, from a guy who is possibly the worst political journalist in the history of journalism and an all around shit human being.

EXACTLY

Ok, but the context of my post is the problem of authority in the workplace; the micropolitics of expertise and domination.

Hard to have a democracy with a political economy of authoritarian workplaces. Didn't Barbara Ehrenreich have some essays on this, oh, 400 year old problem???

👍

Better late than never, but I watched you both-sides this criminal Administration for at least a year. Hopefully you now - permanently - realize there are not two-sides to a free democracy.

Anyone check in on that voice of journalism James Bennet who created this madness?

He wants a job licking boots.

I was already not watching 60 minutes after previous bullshit. I used to watch every week. This right wing censorship is ruining living in America. It’s not great or the pillar of freedom anymore. It’s just another oligarchy. We will rise and take it back some day.

#ScottPelleyisaheroBariWeissiskilling60Minutes🖤

Get on your feet Stand up tall to lick the boot of @verminsupreme.bsky.social

Let me know when the bottom 4 leave. bsky.app/profile/park...

Now let’s have ALL the other correspondents quit in solidarity and create a new 60 minutes on another channel. LETS GOOO!!!

💯

You would think some enterprising MAGA would market flavors such as cherry or chocolate to paint on the toes of boots.

(Norah O’Donnell raises hand enthusiastically)

Yup. *Stenographers*.

💯 💯 💯

Are any of them here on Bluesky? Because I’d like to have a word.

They are not journalists they are bootlickers and synchophants.

Thank you sir

Ugh. You're giving me the chills...& NOT IN A GOOD WAY🙄

The co-workers smiled at the cookout and snitched Monday morning. That's the whole story.

That play is haunting. Not seen it live, but the movie with Gene Wilder, no less. It was so good. 🎯

Ain't it funny how the loyalty never left the boss, just the newsroom.

Who the fuque...? F those brown nosers

Colbert, Pelley, Vega, Alfonsi, Mikhailivich, Anderson Cooper, Bill Owens…. CBS IS DEAD. Cancel all Paramount+ affiliates! #CBS #60Minutes #SeeBS

Correction: "its"

Thank you.

Waiting for the Thomas Chatterton Williams column forthcoming about how leftism has made people rude and therefore is to blame for Pelley getting himself fired.

Tell those critics, "Be quiet, piggy."

Real journalists speak Truth to Power like Pelley did.

Vladimir Putin now owns CBS without firing a shot

You must be talking about Matt Walsh of Mediate ...

Whose doing that?

Everybody calling out Cilizza but don’t forget Ashlee Vance too

The official news source of King Rump The First. Fox News is reportedly quite unhappy and angling for an Anchorman-style dust up to settle the score.

He just got fired.

Please name names. Don’t be cryptic about this. Call out the bad actors in your own profession by name.

🎯

AMEN

👏🚨💯👆

Anyone who stays at @cbsnews.com now are complicit with the right-wing Ellisons in killing it. They're not journalists. They're cowards - especially Weijia Jiang for sucking up to Mobster/FELON/Adjudicated RAPIST Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump & holding the vile White House Correspondents' dinner.

The right-wing billionaires like the Ellisons, Bezos & Zuckerberg are as much mobsters as the insane "reality" TV con man they put into OUR White House. Americans MUST stop being a silly people & wise up & demand better for our nation before the oligarchs enslave us all. bsky.app/profile/donn...

Who’s doing that? Call them out.

Exactly!!!

Love Scott Pelley. If ABC can stave off shit for brains pressure, can they pick up 60 Minutes?

We need more courage in more industries confronting their corporate overlords…like in healthcare for example…

👏🏾

Scott Pelley is a great journalist; he is ethical, thorough, and he speaks truth to power.

You mean like this wannabe bootlicker? Jesus he sucks so bad 🙄

It's all about money, not principles.

They are auditioning for a job at CBS, signalling to Bilton they are willing to be toadies.

this is not that. this is a news legend calling out the death rattle of one of the greatest journalism shows ever. to the people holding the knives 🔪

I always butted heads with every boss or supervisor I ever had, especially if they were idiots. Speak truth to power. Challenge them and make them explain themselves!

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight And now you see the light I want you to stand up for your right. yeah You fool some people sometimes, yeah But you can't fool all the people all the time So now we see the light We gonna stand up for our right

The main stream media has failed the nation. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/when...

I might add that if ever Bari Weiss was a journalist, she gave up that title when she became a regime psychophant. She is destroying the very foundation of democracy ... the free press. She is a traitor to the country and Scott Pelley is now one of its unsung heroes.

Wait a minute. Isaac Schorr isn't a journalist? I don't know what to believe anymore.

I'm afraid bootlickers exist in all walks of life, but I agree with the sentiment.

Maybe not.

@netflix.com should hire all the former 60 minutes folks being fired and put on a free weekly show on Netflix. Have paid content available from that team but put one-per-week for free. Call it The Weekly Hour (nod to 60 min.). Netflix would instantly rocket to the most serious news show on TV

Bravo 🙌

Dam this is so true. Excellent pov.

Trump MAGA Nazi’s are doing their best to destroy America & are rapidly succeeding. Supreme Court is theirs, Executive Branch is theirs, & the News Media is & has rapidly become theirs in recent years. It’s getting very close to a full take over if they delay, cancel, or rig the elections (again).

Scott Pelley 💪

CBS can go suck rotten eggs! EAT SHIT BARI WEISS, you fucking shill.

TEAM PELLEY 100% 1st Amendment 100%

✊

journalist is supposed to be adversarial with powerful ppl. it’s how we hold them accountable.

Strong journalism has always depended on asking tough questions, even when it’s uncomfortable.

There is a lack of dignity , professionalism, dedication and honesty in the management at CBS. Happens when your salary is so good you sell your integrity Its not career development , its capitulation Welcome to MSM 1933, Germany

These folks deserve any and all harassment they get in public. Preferably in front of their families.

💯

I’m sure he knew he’d likely get fired for doing what he did so trying to give him retroactive career advice is seriously missing the point.

👍👏👍

Man, I hear the sound of journalistic champagne popping just reading your quote

If you want to be a bootlicker, there is plenty of opportunity in the Trump administration

💯

or join the Trump administration -

I am so proud of Scott Pelley for sticking up for his colleagues and the show.

This was quite the Bump.
