@jkiddmd: CBS News terminated longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, following a volatile staff meeting. During the meeting, Pelley confronted the show's newly appointed executive producer, Nick Bilton, and accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of "murdering" the legendary news magazine. #fired #cbs

Barb Deggans Tampa Bay Realtor :

Jason Kidd :

Pelley's firing is the latest domino to fall in a sweeping, highly controversial restructuring under Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison. Stephen Colbert Out: CBS previously canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. While the network claimed it was a $40 million purely financial decision, the move sparked immense public speculation regarding corporate capitulation to political pressures. Colbert aired his final episode on May 21, 2026. 60 Minutes Gutted: Just days before Pelley was fired, CBS leadership also terminated 60 Minutes Executive Producer Tanya Simon, alongside prominent on-air correspond ents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega. Insiders describe the mood at the network as "awake during surgery" amid growing fears over lost editorial independence.

I removed cbs from my tv menu schedule so I never see cbs as an option and will never be shown a commercial for a cbs option
