Scott Pelley, a long-serving presenter of CBS News’s 60 Minutes, trashed the network’s editor-in-chief Bari Weiss at a staff meeting and accused her of “murdering” the show, according to multiple reports.
The New York Times, which obtained an audio recording of the blow-up, reports that Pelley, “his newscaster’s baritone sometimes shaking in anger,” also lashed out at the program’s new executive producer Nick Bilton, telling him he had “slender” qualifications for the job.
