It is revealing to see how blind some are to that,\u201d he added, seeming to respond to the post he was quoting. <\/p>\n<p>It said Pelley had told The New York Times that being fired was the \u201cfurthest thing from my mind\u201d after he had blown up at senior management over a rash of firings at <i>60 Minutes<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the New York Times published Sunday morning, Pelley revealed that Weiss had tried to direct the news narrative around incidents that made Trump look bad. <\/p>\n<p>He used the example of Weiss allegedly wanting <i>60 Minutes<\/i> to make it look as though murdered Minnesotan mother Ren\u00e9e Good had been driving her car at an ICE agent when she was shot in January.<\/p>\n<p>Weiss was installed at CBS News by billionaire nepo baby\u2014and Trump fan\u2014David Ellison, who runs Paramount, which includes CBS. <\/p>\n<p>The president, 79, successfully sued CBS over a <i>60 Minutes<\/i> interview with Kamala Harris that ran ahead of their 2024 match-up, and walked away with a $16 million settlement. The program has been in his line of fire ever since. <\/p>\n<p>Weiss moved at the end of May to fire two correspondents and the executive producer, installing new EP Nick Bilton, who has no management or television experience.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=945\">Lesley Stahl Reveals the Moment CBS Broke \u201860 Minutes\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At his first meeting with the remaining staff on Monday, Pelley blew up at Bilton, an interaction that led to his firing. <\/p>\n<p>This is not the first skirmish between the president\u2019s interests and high-profile TV personalities in which Carr has played a role. <\/p>\n<p>Just three days after Stephen Colbert called the president\u2019s $16 million payday a \u201cbig, fat bribe,\u201d his long-running <i>Late Night <\/i>was canceled by the network.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, Paramount\u2019s sale to Skydance Media\u2014Ellison\u2019s company\u2014was approved by the FCC.<\/p>\n<p>ABC was also targeted with an FCC investigation around the same time Trump sued the broadcaster. <\/p>\n<p>ABC star Jimmy Kimmel was directly targeted by Carr for comments he made in the wake of Trump ally Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder in September 2025. The late-night host was suspended by the network, but ultimately not fired. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can do this the easy way or the hard way,\u201d Carr said on a podcast. \u201cThese companies can find ways to change conduct to take action on Kimmel or, you know, there\u2019s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carr renewed his attacks on Kimmel earlier this year, after a joke about Melania Trump caused outrage in the wake of the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Carr threatened Disney\u2019s broadcasting license, and said it would be reviewed. <\/p>\n<p>Such actions have exposed Carr to criticism that he is using the FCC to curtail speech unfavorable to Trump. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=943\">Trump, 79, Sparks Fresh Health Concerns With Interview Outburst<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The FCC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s hand-picked Federal Communications Commission Chair has waded into the dispute between fired 60 Minutes star Scott Pelley and MAGA-curious CBS News boss Bari Weiss.
