“I have been in this business a long time, and I have never seen anything this bad,” a CBS News insider told Deadline today amid the fallout of recent firings at 60 Minutes and accusations of political interference at the Bari Weiss-ruled division.

After a verbal dust-up this week between 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley and new EP Nick Bilton saw the ex-CBS Evening News anchor terminated for cause effective immediately late Tuesday, many CBS News staffers are wondering, what and who could be next?
“We cover the news, we should never be the news,” a network vet lamented Wednesday as a litany of searing salvos from both sides flew on and offline. “This is a damn embarrassment,” she added, noting the morale is low and the environment “closed-door toxic” at CBS News today.

They reap what they sow.

I’d be anxious too if I was a complete hack

Need to flush it all out and start anew.
They must try to try to claw back some of the integrity that they have lost going back decades. It won’t be an easy task.
There is nothing honorable about being a lap dog for the libs.

I’m surprised FCC hasn’t forced them to reclassify. CBS is only changing its tune bc of a MAGA friendly at the helm.

The short version is MAGA is in charge now and the festering little mangina couldn't deal with it.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.

USAid money has dried up and now they're forced to rely on actual ratings to earn their keep. It's as simple as that. What's happening is the market is forcing them to produce a better product.
Trump said it from day 1 that the media is our #1 enemy in this country and he was correct then and he's still correct today. This shite proves it.

Those hacks can starve in the streets.

That’s not loaded at all.

CBS News is state run media

The fallout from all of this messaging-wise has been so frustrating. The bots and media shills are in overdrive, circling the wagons around Pelley.
Have they forgotten how far into the tank 60 Minutes was for Biden and Harris? Probably not, which is why they are propping him up as a paragon of journalistic virtue.
60 Minutes was/is biased as frick toward the left of the political spectrum and it isn’t even close. To suggest a correction wasn’t badly needed is complete lunacy.

Here lately 60 Minutes had a hit piece on Trump virtually every episode. Scott Pelley was the ring leader.

The big doors on the first floor is the exit.
Journalists are some of the most narcissistic do nothings on the planet. They believe that one of the easiest degrees to get in college makes them smarter than the entire country.

This is so ridiculous. Bari Weiss is NOT anywhere close to maga friendly. She’s a democrat who’s diehard Israel and that’s it.

This can be said of most liberals if we’re being honest.

But you don’t. You report a narrative. You haven’t actually reported the news since before the Viet Nam War. That’s why you have no credibility. You’re literally a propaganda tool of the left. The only way for the network to regain any credibility is to completely clean house and stayrt over actually reporting facts. Not opinions and not facts presented in a way that favors a specific narrative.
And if you ever do that, you’ll be the only tv news company doing so today.
