Veteran Correspondent Criticizes '60 Minutes' Leadership Amid Staff Changes

Scott Pelley, a long-time correspondent for '60 Minutes,' reportedly voiced strong criticism of CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss during a recent staff meeting. His comments, allegedly captured on audio, followed a significant shakeup at the program, which included the departure of its executive producer and the termination of two correspondents. Tensions have been escalating since David Ellison's acquisition of Paramount and Weiss's subsequent appointment in 2025.
