re: ’60 Minutes’ Correspondent Scott Pelley ‘Will Either Resign or Be Fired’ from CBS News

Dear Mr. Pelley:

While I’m new to 60 Minutes, I’ve devoted my career to investigative journalism and storytelling. I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the 60 Minutes veterans, with you among them. For that reason, one of the first things I did in my new role was call you to talk and invite you to dinner. It is a profound disappointment that you rejected that overture and chose ambush instead.

Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate among the team, but this was nothing of the sort. Yesterday’s performative display of hostility-enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation demonstrated that you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress. I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama. I am eager to work alongside those who share this goal.

He's pushing to be fired to get compensated in some way and/or become the ultimate lefty martyr.

This is the first time in my life I have ever heard the name Scott Pelley.

Wasn’t Pelley the voice for “Behind the Music” way back in the day?

Other than that; his self entitled, liberal, pompous arse should have been fired as soon as he finished pitching his little hissy fit yesterday.
