Scott Pelley, identified as a longtime 60 Minutes anchor on CBS, stated on Wednesday that remarks by Bari Weiss to staff regarding his firing were disingenuous, according to RealClearPolitics. Multiple additional details about the circumstances of any departure, including meeting accounts and statements attributed to Pelley, appear only in The Daily Caller and remain unverified. Perspectives differ on whether the episode reflects institutional resistance, editorial realignment, or routine employment matters.
