In his first interview since his firing from 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley said that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and the network’s leadership are engaged in “subtle political bias” to influence the show, while he said that the brass “don’t know what they’re doing.”
In an interview with The New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Pelley also elaborated on a comment that he made earlier last week, shortly after he got notice that he was being terminated. That was that the management of the network had “instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.”
