Scott Pelley spent years playing the role of altruistic journalist on the largely fictitious CBS News program “60 Minutes.”
On Tuesday,his new bossesreminded the arrogant left-wing activist that he was as replaceable as the air filters in the building.
After nearly four decades at CBS, Pelley apparently made the mistake that eventually traps a lot of these self-righteous media activists — people likeDon Lemon.
He started believing his job needed him more than he needed his job.
It turns out “60 Minutes” executives disagreed.
According to multiplereports, including information from Puck News’ Dylan Byers, Pelley was fired Tuesday after publicly attacking the new leadership at “60 Minutes.”
#SCOOP: Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership at 5pm ET to discuss a path forward after his protest in 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground and it now seems likely he will either resign or be fired, though neither has happened yet.

Why was Pelley so upset? Apparently, because CBS is trying to regain the trust of the country by moving to the middle.
Hard-line leftists tend to view anything to the right of communism as fascist violence, so Pelly apparently came unglued because he couldn’t lie anymore — at least not on public airwaves.
