Fired CBS 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley has accused editorial management at his old network of interfering with a broadcast segment looking at an immigration officer’s killing of Minneapolis protester Renee Good in January.
The veteran broadcaster, who was recently dismissed from the show, said CBS News’s editor-in-chief Bari Weiss had sent an email to his supervisor requesting changes be made soon before the airing of the segment in question.
In an interview with the New York Times published on Sunday, the 68-year-old Pelley accused Weiss of injecting “falsehoods and bias” into programming.
Pelley told the outlet: “Two of the things in the email include, ‘Can we make the protesters look more violent?’ Now, I’m paraphrasing. I don’t have the quote, but that’s what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”
Pelley maintained that was the direction contained in the email even though video of Good’s shooting did not support such a conclusion.
A CBS News spokesperson told the Times in response to Pelley’s statements that Weiss had made four points in an email exchange on the segment that had “no political motivation and were proposed solely to make the piece as strong, fair, and accurate as possible”.
“Not everything she raised made it into the final piece,” the statement added.
Völkischer Beobachter lady, you're doing one helluva job there with totally fair and balanced newsing you're doing. In fact, Bari, sitting on the scale while firing an anchor at the same time is amateur hour even for you.
Fun to see Lauren Bobo 'take umbrage' after all the shit she has dished out 😃

"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) slammed a Fox News reporter for asking if she had an affair with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).
Said Boebert: “Fuck you, first of all!”
She added: “If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control. So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for. I don’t want to talk about anybody’s exes and the crazy sh*t that they do.”"
I'm in a bit of a mood, y'all. I just made a special trip of about 20 miles (tbf, it was one of two errands in that area) to donate some stuff to the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. Included in the pile were all the bed/bath/closet doorknobs that I just replaced. They wouldn't take them, because no keys; they're bed/bath/closet, sez I, and don't need keys. He hemmed and hawed and, although this isn't what he said, I got the impression they only wanted new stuff still in the original packaging.
This is my second consecutive bad experience with Habitat. I truly hate to say that, because I love their mission and Jimmy Carter was one of my faves. A few months back, I donated a full bedroom set - bed, dresser, chest, and bedside table - to Habitat. I figured the pickup would be a donation-in-kind from the moving company, but I was charged $200 for the pickup. It's really disappointing.
I sometimes drop stuff off at and sometimes pick stuff from the local Habitat. I’ve noticed when they have too much of one thing they get picky. But also door hardware, loose, I can see that being a PITA to make sure you’ve got all the bits and pieces before putting a price tag on it.
I really hate the fact that my birthday is in the same month as that orange-faced clown
who claims he is our president.
At least it's not on the same day as his.
Just think about this for a moment . . .

If haggis is the great chieftain of the pudding race (at least savory) what is the Queen of Puddings made of?
You'll have to wait to find out.
Or consult Google. Your choice.
I'll wait. I love surprises, especially sweet ones!
Black pudding? Or is that like saying pineapple pizza?
I like my pineapple on the side.

Bari will end without a job and no one will hire her.
There'll always be work in Amurka for a right wing hack.
Which is where she should have started.
MAGA should mean unemployable just like Nazi used to mean.
Völkischer Beobachter lady, you're doing one helluva job there with totally fair and balanced newsing you're doing. In fact, Bari, sitting on the scale while firing an anchor at the same time is amateur hour even for you.
Unfortunately, we have so much Nazi-adjacent media these days. And now that includes CBS.
Capital controlling the news isn't new but the scale and speed of scaling is crazy nowadays.
Would have been nice if Pelley had preserved the emails.

Was Lauren juicing beetles again? Unclear!
Somewhere in the world there is something Trump doesn't like.
Next time things don't go his way he might tell us what that is . . .
I’ll be expecting that in a few minutes.
Time to prepare, for my MotoPicnic! Wherein I ride a motorcycle far into the wilderness and eat lunch there!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds fun and relaxing.
A delicious pastime!
It sounds like the first big ride of the dykes on bikes going past.
The Monaco GP always delivers, you go in expecting the most boring race of the season, and it meets expectations perfectly.
