The firing of longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley has ignited a firestorm, with FCC Chair Brendan Carr accusing the veteran journalist of being completely out of touch for not seeing his termination coming. Pelley, who had been with CBS News since 1989, was let go last on June 2, 2026, after a tense boardroom confrontation with the network’s new leadership, including Executive Producer Nick Bilton and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.
