Scott Pelley Blasts CBS News Leadership
Fired '60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley has launched a scathing attack on CBS News leadership, accusing Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of 'subtle political bias' and incompetence.
Pelley claims Weiss pushed for a pro-Trump framing of stories and interfered with broadcasts, leading to his ousting.
The controversy has sparked debates about political bias within news organizations and the integrity of journalism.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr, however, called Pelley 'out of touch' for not anticipating his firing, adding another layer to the dispute.
