CBS News has fired “60 Minutes” longtime correspondent Scott Pelley after a tense meeting with new Executive Producer Nick Bilton and editor-in-chief Bari Weiss on June 2.
Bilton emailed Pelley notifying him of his immediate termination following the meeting, citing Pelley’s “hostility” and “misconduct” during the meeting as reasons for the decision, according to a copy of the email obtained by The Epoch Times.
