The longtime journalist said Weiss, who was not in attendance, is \u201cmurdering\u201d the legendary news program, according to a recording of the meeting obtained by The New York Times. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cShe does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she\u2019s been doing exactly that,\u201d Pelley told Bilton in front of the other staffers, alluding to Weiss\u2019s appointment by Trump-friendly billionaire David Ellison. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>At one point during the heated exchange, Weiss\u2019 deputy Charles Forelle interrupted to tell Pelley he was being \u201crude,\u201d according to Status. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not actually productive,\u201d Forelle said. \u201cThis is not an interview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s working for me,\u201d replied Pelley, who has been with <i>60 Minutes <\/i>since 2004. <\/p>\n<p>Roughly 15 minutes into the meeting, during which Pelley told Bilton, who has no TV experience, that he has \u201cslender qualifications for this job\u201d and that he \u201cwill never be welcome here,\u201d Bilton left the room. Before departing, he told the staffers to \u201cenjoy the bagels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the confrontation reportedly earned Pelley applause from his colleagues, it has sparked outrage in MAGAworld. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a pompous p&#8212;k,\u201d Curtis Houck, managing editor of the right-wing site NewsBusters, wrote in one of multiple X posts about the confrontation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFire. Him. Now,\u201d Houck wrote in another post. \u201cIf this happened in just about any other profession, they\u2019d be hauled out by security ASAP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fired Kennedy Center boss Ric Grenell replied to one of Houck\u2019s posts with an armchair media analysis. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople like Scott Pelley and so many at the NYT have never understood they got left behind because they could no longer feed their advocacy to the public without being challenged,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe public is demanding reporters who aren\u2019t advocates\u2014and Scott Pelley is furious that his gig is up.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=519\">Trump Explodes With F-Bomb Rant as His Peace Plan Unravels<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alex Pfeiffer, who served as President Donald Trump\u2019s principal deputy communications director from January until September 2025, also seized on reports of Pelley\u2019s exchange with Bilton for a broader rebuke of the press.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do journos think they are exempt from common decency?\u201d the former Fox News producer wrote on X. \u201cI don\u2019t think there is any other industry where workers think they have the right to berate their boss in front of coworkers. If Pelley gets fired for this, all the usual suspects will clutch their peals [sic].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meghan McCain also weighed in on the controversy with her own commentary. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCBS News is officially more dramatic than a housewives reunion,\u201d the former <i>The View<\/i> host wrote on X. \u201cWell done all the way around everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ian Miller, a writer at Fox News\u2019 OutKick, blasted Pelley as \u201cthe embodiment of the entitled left-wing \u2018news\u2019 correspondent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone who\u2019s made a career by happily parroting and promoting his ideology, now furious that someone like Bari Weiss is involved to bring balance and intellectual honesty to his program,\u201d Miller said. <\/p>\n<p>CBS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Weiss, a former anti-woke opinion columnist with no professional TV news experience, has been accused of trying to shift CBS News into a more Trump-friendly direction. <\/p>\n<p>In what Pelley called \u201cBlack Thursday\u201d during his confrontation with Bilton, Weiss fired correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, as well as executive producer Tanya Simon, a 30-year veteran of the program. Alfonsi, 53, first clashed with the Weiss over an El Salvador jail report that painted the Trump administration in a negative light. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Others on the show who were pink-slipped on Thursday are its executive editor, Draggan Mihailovich, and its senior producer, Matthew Polvoy.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=517\">CBS Legends Blast \u201860 Minutes\u2019 Over MAGA Makeover<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MAGA faithful are losing it over longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, who unloaded on CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and new boss Nick Bilton on Monday.
