After newly hired executive producer Nick Bilton made the laughable claim that CBS’s editor in chief Bari Weiss “loves 60 Minutes”, correspondent Scott Pelley had strong words:

“She is murdering ‘60 Minutes,’” the correspondent said. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that.”

Mr. Pelley added: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she’s made at the ‘Evening News’ have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”

He’s not wrong.
