Pelley, of 60 Minutes, lost his shit in a team meeting with his new boss this week and threw a tantrum, so, farewell, Scott. Your departure can only be good for the show.

Scott Pelley’s ‘60 Minutes’ Meltdown Crystallizes Everything Wrong with Media

First Colbert and now this moron. Life is good and getting better.

Great news today.

It's dangerous when you believe your own bullshit, your ego gets so big you think you walk on water.
One down, a lot more to go.

Excellent news!!! These morons are their own worst enemy. They are so drunk off their sense of moral and political superiority they never once stop to consider they could be completely wrong about everything.

Good for Nick Bilton

WTF are these overpaid douche canoes thinking? In 99.999% of jobs in America your ass gets fired for antics like that.

If the former 60 minutes bosses put up with shit like that then they're more spineless than a politician.

wasn't it posted somewhere that CBS was trying to clean up its act, and be less partisan?

maybe this was part of that plan,

of course, being CBS and MSM/Legacy Media, less partisan would still be 2 steps left of Mao

These fake journalist leftist hacks think they are bigger than their bosses, the indispensable stars of the show, the center of the universe. Well, asshole, submit your next job application at PMSNBC. They're the perfect fit for you. Saw this son of a bitch since his days at KHOU-11 and instantly disliked his smugness.

I haven't watched 60 minutes in 15 or 20 years.
It used to be a pretty good show, decades ago.

Two "Down the shitter they go" moments were the Mike Wallace fake military letter and the placing pyrotechnics on the GM pickup gas tank to show a largely non-existent propensity to blow up.

Is he with CNN yet?

I suspect he won't immediately seek similar employment, he'll file a lawsuit against CBS seeking multi-million dollar damages and quietly start writing a book.
If he finds employment elsewhere, likely for less money, he establishes a value in the marketplace that would work against his financial claims.
He may go on the friendly media tour to start selling his story of victimization by the evil Trump Federal Government and taint a potential jury pool for his civil claims.

Having had a roughly $7 million/year salary, I don’t figure ol’ Scott is gonna starve anytime soon.

Somehow, I’m failing to worry about him.

“Scott Jennings may have a role at CBS News ahead of him thanks to the network's new editor-in-chief who was hired less than a month ago to rebrand the outlet.”

All the leftists on Twitter are losing their minds because “first amendment and shit!” Just like with Colbert and it is glorious to see

When I had employees there was one pattern that never failed. Once an employee began to consider himself indispensable, in short order his behavior would place him on the chopping block.

Ego is a very tough thing to master.

Maybe I will eventually be able to watch 60 minutes again. It was once one off my favorite shows enabling a deeper understanding of what is actually happening in the world. It hasn't been that for a long time.

The dude makes seven million bucks?
No wonder he thinks his shit dont stink!

The days of “You know it's going to be a bad day when you get to work and Mike Wallace is waiting for you” are long gone with “60 Minutes”.

A quote from the linked article says it all- "What an asshole"

Anyone that enters a company meeting, berates and insults two bosses, and refuses to go along with any meaningful changes, is clearly a fucked up asshole with delusions of grandeur.
