Ousted Scott Pelley Equates Firing to ‘Spouse Being Murdered’

Former “📺60 Minutes” anchor 👤Scott Pelley did not expect to be fired last week.

“No one saw the Black Thursday massacre coming,” Pelley said in a New York Times interview.

Pelley, 68, said he didn’t see it coming even though he blew up at network executives earlier.

“Some reporter I turned out to be. I just didn’t connect the dots,” Pelley said.

Pelley said in the interview

that perhaps he shouldn’t have said new boss 👤Bari Weiss “murdered” the show. He then likened the mass terminations to the “murders” of family members.

“The night before, Tanya and I were at the Emmy Awards, and we won two Emmys. Within hours, all of those people have been wiped out, and one-third of our correspondents have been fired,” Pelley said.

“My colleagues and I have worked together 10, 20, 30 years. We travel together. We dine together. We go into literal combat together,” he continued.
