Turmoil At See B.S.

 

Veteran broadcast journalist and "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley's firing yesterday from the network he's worked at for decades is a sign of the growing authoritarianism in corporate media who seek to maintain the mentally disturbed Malignant Fascist in his good graces.  The MF has made it clear time and again that he wants critics of him and his regime in the media and entertainment world stifled and fired.  From the Associated Press:

"CBS News fired longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday, a day after he reportedly said Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss was “murdering the show” and accused its new producer of having “slender qualifications” for the job.

The move deepened the turmoil at the nation’s most influential TV news program, days after a leadership overhaul.

Pelley, 68, criticized management Monday during a fiery staff meeting with Nick Bilton, the program’s new executive producer installed by Weiss last week, according to a detailed report on the Status website. [snip]

Pelley said in a statement that “60 Minutes” has lost its DNA under new management. He accused them of asking him to “inject falsehoods and bias” into his work, without sharing specific details."

When the Trumpist Ellison father / son duo's company Skydance bought Paramount and CBS with it, it followed a corrupt $16 million bribe to the MF to ensure the merger would go through the corrupt FCC, led by Brandon Carr, an MF cultist.  The Ellisons are now trying to merge Skydance Paramount with Warner Bros. Discovery, subject to FCC approval.  The Ellisons brought in right-wing pundit and contrarian Bari "Bari Bad News" Weiss as CBS News' editor in chief, giving her control over the iconic news magazine "60 Minutes."  She has zero broadcast news experience, but her ideology aligns with the Ellisons, the MF, and Israel's right-wing regime. 

The news organization is reported to be in turmoil after Weiss' takeover.  We hope that Pelley's colleagues take note and have this firing as their "red line."  Buying a network and trashing its independence, and trying to convert it into a mouthpiece for the MF's cult is a betrayal that they should all recoil from and act on.
