Veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley openly revolted against CBS News leadership Monday at a staff meeting meant to introduce the show’s newly appointed executive producer, Nick Bilton. Bilton is a tech journalist installed by CBS’s editor-in-chief Bari Weiss after she fired the show’s two top correspondents, Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, alongside executive producer Tanya Simon. When Bilton reportedly told the staff that Weiss loved CBS News and “60 Minutes,” Pelley shot back, “She is murdering '60 Minutes.' She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that.” Pelley also declared that Bilton would “never be welcome here.”
