Veteran anchor Scott Pelley reportedly attacked CBS editor Bari Weiss at a closed door meeting with new executive producer Nick Bilton on Monday, claiming that the network head was "murdering 60 Minutes." Pelley, a long time correspondent for 60 Minutes, sat down with Bilton and another executive on Monday, calling out the company for a slew of firings last week, according to The Guardian's Jeremy Barr. "Scott Pelley called out Bari Weiss, saying in the meeting: She's murdering 60 mins. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,'" Barr wrote on X.
