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..."

1. She is a maga.........................

enough said.

[Spazito]

2. I am so glad he is continuing to call them out on their lies...

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

15. Never let up. Not for a second

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.

3. What say you Leslie Stahl, are you on board with the changes?

9. The day Leslie Stahl shows some backbone...

...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.

11. As if i didn't hate Maher enough, didn't know that connection.

4. They are the equivalent to the newspaper in the checkout line!

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.

8. How do you wrap fish with a TV program??

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.....)

5. Pelley knew Exactly what he was doing......good for him...nt

[dem4decades]

12. He's still roasting them, and doing a damn good job.

6. There's an old saying in my field of PR

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.

7. Weiss is a sniveling little rat.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Wouldn't believe anything she says.

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

[hamsterjill]

13. You left out "bought and paid for".

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

I am very proud of Scott Pelley.

14. That's, Sadly Who They Are and What They Do

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

16. This may be easier to read

17. I know who I believe

Weiss isn't fit to lick Pelley's shoes. Screw her.
