Where are a Rogue Wave and Rogue Shark when you need them??????????????????

Pompous ass

I admire someone who can stay at the company for 37 years. He may have stayed too long though, he does sound like a pompous ass. NY Times interview today. His boss Bari Weiss told him to make some changes to the Minneapolis ICE story and he didn't make the changes. I'll bet she decided months ago to fire him.

Did you do as she asked? I asked my producers, “Did we leave anything out that’s important? Did we make a mistake here? I don’t think so, but go back and look.” And then I sat down with a video editor, and I went over the video of the Renee Good killing over and over again, and realized that the event was not as the president said and not the way Bari Weiss remembered it. And it’s late. Our deadline was noon. It’s now almost 5 o’clock. That’s dangerous as hell. So I decided that I wouldn’t do those things. I wasn’t going to get in a debate about it. I wasn’t going to call Bari Weiss about it. I was just going to refuse to make those changes.

The link has the video tape of the interview conducted by a former NPR reporter, it should be softball questions, but it looks like a bad acting performance to me. I just don't buy Pelley's crocodile tears.

“Scott Pelley slammed CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss for 'putting a thumb on the scale' for President Donald Trump, and called for the 'ouster' to be booted.

Pelley, 68, held nothing back in his first interview since his firing from 60 Minutes, as he accused his former boss of 'incompetence' and attempting to interject bias into the outlet's news reporting.  …”

Pelley is smelly. An over ripe turd.

Yep.

Back in the early 2000s, I worked for a mid-sized software company. They still had a number of employees from their early days. One of my co-workers was one of them, and she felt that being a legacy employee made her indispensable.

Not long after I started, our dept. got a new VP and this woman locked horns with our new boss on day one. It was not long before the VP had enough and fired her. She promptly called a fellow legacy employees, now the company's SVP of Operations, asking him to intercede on her behalf. He simply told her he wasn't getting involved. The look on her face as she was escorted out of the building was priceless.

The first rule of hole digging is, if you’re already in it, stop digging. What a fucking embarrassment.

Hey look everyone! It's another Brian Williams!

The Alarming and Deeply Disturbing Scott Pelley Interview

I have spent a lot of time around people. Out of a general sense of curiosity, I watched the Scott Pelley interview with NYT journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro, who, by professional obligation and sense of career enhancement, stepped into the role of codependent enabler in order to advance a professional narrative that is very disturbing to witness.

In this short video segment below, less than a minute long, what we see is a glimpse into the world of deeply disturbed and mentally unstable people; very likely narcissists, with intensely overstated internal senses of grandiosity and self-importance.

That sense of identity is certainly why these trait carriers need to cloister together in groups, tribal media, in order to receive the affirmation needed to retain their worldview without challenge. These are deeply intolerant, and emotionally unstable people.

What you see below is not emotionally mature or mentally stable behavior. What is witnessed in this video is a psychological pathology and a codependent enabler of that pathology, under the mistaken premise of sensitivity.

This is the opposite of intellectual. This is a disturbed child in an adult physiology. It is alarming to witness outside a clinical or institutional setting.
WATCH:



♦ Take it or leave it advice. If you ever encounter this personality trait in a person or group, professionally or personally, I would strongly advise exiting the proximity as quickly and carefully as possible.

Find a way to get away. Do not engage. Do not attempt to talk, discuss, frame counterpoints, debate or engage this mindset with any challenge. Just politely disappear in the least controversial way possible.

There’s no benefit to engaging with unstable people—protect your own peace by avoiding contact. This applies both online and in person. In either case, politely excuse yourself or leave safely.

Be cautious while doing so; it might feel like you’re holding your breath until you’re away, but the main goal is creating distance. Excuse yourself however necessary and find a safe way to leave quietly and without drawing attention but do so with urgency.

The full interview is below. I caution anyone who might be tempted to watch this interview, there is a particular horror in knowing there are people carrying these traits in positions of influence. Jim Jones was less to fear.

It is best to leave management of this psychology to the experts in the field.

There are a lot of people like this in Washington DC, in various stages of this mindset, particularly in the White House correspondents’ media pool.

Having navigated a life of specific control, Scott Pelley represents the apex level of this psychological disorder. When left unchecked for this long, there is no recovery possible. Mr. Pelley will never be wrong in anything, ever.

From the position of his shoes in the closet, to the fold of his towels and the shape of his eggs in the morning, to the acceptable sounds he will tolerate walking through a park; everything is viewed through the prism of self.

Behind that self is a deeply disturbed loathing.

Keep distance. Preserve your peace.

Is pomposity a word? Applicable to that clip.

In any case, it wasn’t President Trump that had the pleasure of firing that fool.
