Pelley said the Free Press founder wrote to his former boss, executive producer Tanya Simon, outlining a list of demands after viewing his segment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent?\u201d Pelley alleged. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, I\u2019m paraphrasing\u2026.And the other thing, Renee Good\u2019s car. You need to describe her as driving <i>toward<\/i> the officer,\u201d he added. \u201cThe video showed that the officer wasn\u2019t standing in front of the car and she wasn\u2019t driving toward him, but that\u2019s what the president said about that, and that\u2019s the way she wanted it described.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Good, 37, was killed after an ICE agent fired three shots through the windshield and side window of her SUV. Numerous analyses of video footage shot from multiple angles determined that Good was turning her vehicle away from the officer, Jonathan Ross, when he opened fire. Ross was heard calling her a \u201cf&#8211;king b&#8212;h\u201d in the moments after she was struck.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump, however, falsely claimed that Good \u201cviolently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer\u201d\u2014an assertion he later walked back after learning Good\u2019s father was a Trump supporter.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=911\">Archbishop Pulls Plug on Exorcist Priest Over UFO Rant<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pelley, for his part, said he ultimately refused to make any editorial changes. The following day, after hearing nothing from Weiss, he said it dawned on him that she \u201cdidn\u2019t see the broadcast\u201d at all.<\/p>\n<p>A CBS spokesperson said in a statement, \u201dIn an email, Bari made four points in the course of editorial back-and-forth. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had no political motivation and were proposed solely to make the piece as strong, fair, and accurate as possible. As is frequently the case in any newsroom that operates with collaboration, not everything she raised made it into the final piece,\u201d the statement said. <\/p>\n<p>The ousted correspondent is far from the first 60 Minutes mainstay to accuse Weiss of interfering with reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, Weiss threw 60 Minutes\u2019 credibility into question after pulling a segment in December detailing the grisly conditions at an El Salvador megaprison where Venezuelan men deported by Donald Trump were being held. At the time, correspondent Sharyon Alfonsi slammed the move as \u201cnot an editorial decision, it is a political one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alfonsi was fired last month alongside fellow veteran correspondent Cecilia Vega, executive producer Tanya Simon, and other senior staffers. Weiss replaced Simon, a producer at the program for nearly 30 years, with tech columnist Nick Bilton, who has no traditional broadcast journalism experience. He does, however, host a tech podcast that racks up fewer than 1,000 views a week, compared with the roughly nine million viewers 60 Minutes averaged last season.<\/p>\n<p>Pelley was shown the door days later after heatedly confronting Weiss and Bilton about the bloodbath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like your spouse being murdered,\u201d he told Garcia-Navarro of Weiss\u2019 sledgehammering of his former workplace.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether he believes Weiss should be fired, Pelley did not hesitate. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh gosh yes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt would have been so much better if Bari Weiss had been offered this job and said, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s not for me, I don\u2019t know how to do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=909\">Ghislaine Maxwell Compound Listed for Rent in Mysterious Circumstances<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ousted 60 Minutes legend Scott Pelley isn\u2019t holding back about the blatant bias he says is taking hold at CBS News.
