Look at how long Netanyahu(& Putin) has/have stayed in power
even though having been voted out …
Trump is following the same playbook and has deployed Weiss to destroy any non pro Trump media. Weiss is clearly an agent for protecting Trump‘s fascist take down of America.
Seriously, its atrocious.
Trump is ransacking and pillaging along the way.
Now he‘s had Blanche publicly state that they are implementing legal protections so Trump cant be prosecuted, all while the GOP ignored the side agreements in the $1.8 billion slush fund (ie they left all the side agreements in place and Blanche is publicly claiming they are going to implement other legal roadblocks to prosecuting the felonious Trump family … literally billions in US taxpayer money being scammed to the Trump family).
“Trump Keeps Immunity from I.R.S., a Victory in a Long-Running Feud
Even as they rebelled against a $1.8 billion fund for President Trump’s allies, Republicans looked the other way as his administration granted him potentially lucrative tax protections.“

Anyone that argues that this isnt a blatant complete takeover is out of their mind.
And by Ellisons you mean
Netanyahu …
Mossad, the Ellisons and Netanyahu all seem to be in complete (complicit) alignment for their activities (sins)
Charlatan. Hussy.

pawn of the Ellisons
deployed to placate Trump and ease their M&A deals.
She's not even that, frankly.
Nobody who watches Fox News knows or cares about who she is. She's not even remotely at the level of a Megyn Kelly or Candace Owens. But as Dylan noted, she has managed to charm men with power who have elevated her over the years, from a shitty columnist to a shitty network exec, as a DEI trojan horse for the marching orders of the gilded class.
She is a MAGA star and nothing else matters.
They don’t want her to do WELL. They want her to destroy the things she hates.
there are other words for that

need the receipts on 'talent'

She flatters extremely wealthy men

She's an "outsider" who's "anti-woke"
and is "shaking things up." All covers for her incompetence.
Man, is that disturbing
I worked in two such organizations where management acted like that, both after takeovers, and couldn’t wait to leave, and at the first opportunity, I did. The second time took very long (because it began in 2008), and was the worst period of my career.
It’ll be interested and no doubt sad to see who follows him out the door.
Good for him
I'm under no delusions Pelley's public stand will change anything in the near term, but Bari and her locust horde deserve to be called out for what they are.
What exactly are Bari Weiss credentials to run CBS?
I mean fresh off her smashing success at the NYT (complete with whiny public resignation letter, where as always, she was a conservative "victim").
The woman is not without talent, but I'm impressed that she's risen so far with such a shabby little act.
and his response to Weiss
She said: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/business/media/bari-weiss-scott-pelley-cbs.html?unlo...
“Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways,” Ms. Weiss said. “We did not want that to happen, but that’s the path that he chose.”

Scott Pelley’s statement on 60 Minutes
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58th season, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.
“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
The waste is heartbreaking.
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion — a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again — a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.
