“Incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc,” Pelley said in a statement, referring in part to CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.
Pelley’s exit deepens the turmoil at “60 Minutes,” the leading newsmagazine on American television. In recent months, “60 Minutes” employees have clashed with CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss over the show’s editorial direction under its new corporate owner, Paramount Skydance, the media company run by technology scion David Ellison.
The tension reached a fever pitch Monday during a “60 Minutes” staff meeting designed to introduce employees to Bilton, a technology journalist tapped by Weiss to be executive producer of the program. Pelley laced into Bilton, according to an audio recording obtained by NBC News and a source who was in the room.
60 Minutes is dead. The other presenters (and writers, etc who don’t agree with new mgmt) should quit now if they have any principles and self-respect. Besides they’re old and rich, why would they want to stay on anyway? Show some solidarity/integrity.
CBS and paramount is dead. Just wait for the first nazi star trek. Its coming. Full of big boobs and mini skirts with a lot of evil brown aliens.

Roddenberry tried to bring it back in TNG. Reviews were… mixed.
