Shocking news has confirmed that CBS News has fired legendary 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday after he carried out a fierce verbal attack against the top network's leadership during a very explosive staff meeting.
Pelly's abrupt termination caps off months of boiling tension within the network's most celebrated news franchise following the corporate takeover by Paramount Skydance. The catalyst for the firing was said to be a contentious meeting carried out yesterday with the morning staff.
The meeting was said to introduce the show's newly appointed executive producer and tech journalist Nick Bilton.
When Bilton spoke about how the newly appointed CBS editor in chief loves this institution, Pelly abruptly stepped in and cut him off. He said that she's murdering 60 Minutes and doesn't love the place. "She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that!"- leaving members stunned.
