In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed.

"These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

I have no doubt he has multiple job offers from other media outlets. I'm with Rachel Maddow and hope he lands on MSNow.

Never find "common ground" with these ideologues. We need to grab these fascist scum by their necks. Hold their feet to the fire. Sell-outs. Pigs.

...is the day I sign up for rehab, because that would be a drug-induced fantasy.

Bari Weiss is another of the idiots, like Kellyanne Congame and Ann Coulter, who was widely platformed by Bill Maher as if they were some sort of generational truth-tellers as opposed to the shills they've always obviously been to those not given to self-fellating for being "brilliant" and hip.

Just as trustworthy.
See BS reduced to Junk status!
I don't even read articles with the brand.

Our local news radio is now ABC.

That's all the tabloids are good for; CBS is no longer THAT valuable.

(And i wouldn't even wrap a dead fish with National Enquirer.....)

Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

In this case, it's more like never pick a fight with someone who is an actual journalist.

Didn't buy her bullshit when she was a pundit, why should I believe her now?

She is doing what she's being told to do. Complete sell out.

I am very proud of Scott Pelley.

Obeisance to a lying, losing multi-convicted republican party tends to take you down a very dark road . . .
