“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.
Jesus fucking Christ. He accused them of murdering 60 minutes, so they shank him while everybody’s watching - for insubordination. These hideous goblins want you to be afraid of them because they “don’t fuck around,” but really all they’re doing is permanently destroying anyone’s respect for them.

US TV used to mock Soviet Russia about this.
They are also killing a respected institution and treating its corpse as a marionette.
Nah. All this is, is sabotage of dissent.
We are in an information war right now. And losing.
