“Incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc,” Pelley said in a statement, referring in part to CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.
Pelley’s exit deepens the turmoil at “60 Minutes,” the leading newsmagazine on American television. In recent months, “60 Minutes” employees have clashed with CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss over the show’s editorial direction under its new corporate owner, Paramount Skydance, the media company run by technology scion David Ellison.
The tension reached a fever pitch Monday during a “60 Minutes” staff meeting designed to introduce employees to Bilton, a technology journalist tapped by Weiss to be executive producer of the program. Pelley laced into Bilton, according to an audio recording obtained by NBC News and a source who was in the room.



Paramount and CBS can suck it. I’m a Trekkie but it looks like I won’t be watching my favorite Star Trek shows for the foreseeable future.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I’ve watched all of Strange New Worlds so far but I’ve never once given CBS money over it
Your local library will get every season on bluray if they don’t already have it just ask. Or download any of the many better than stream quality rips.
Take this. Stay low. You’ll know when we’re clear.
I’ve been a Drag Race fan from the beginning, but I stopped watching any of the programming since the Paramount/Skydance merger. With the next merger I’m going to have to VPN into Canada or 🏴☠️ the next season of Heated Rivalry.
Wait, is WoW owned by paramount now?
Not ownership of WoW, but all the US programs and maybe UK/Canada are exclusive to Paramount+ at least as a first run, barring any recent changes I don’t know about.
Ah, got it. That’s at least better than what I thought, but still not great.
A VPN lets you see how well supported the de-Paramount trek fans are. Try it, the waters of the high seas are waiting.
Stremio
Because no one else is.
