Summary:
Pelley accused Weiss of injecting “falsehoods and bias” into programming.
Barry Weiss said, “Can we make the protesters look more violent?” and “You need to describe Renee Good as driving toward the officer.”
Pelley maintained that was Weiss’ direction even though video of Good’s shooting did not support such a conclusion.
Scott Pelley is a brave man. I’d given up hope. Respect to you sir
Hey before you hop on the air, can you squeeze in this bold face fucking lie? Thanks
60 Minutes is dead. Going forward anything said on that program is suspect.
There was no way trustworthy news was going to survive corporate consolidation.
In other words, Weiss wanted to make segment appeal to white-wing trumpsters. Screw CBS.
So report what was on video for everyone to see. Report the other angles and how cars are faster than humans… Scott is a clown
Another vile component of the toxic tRump legacy
O get it now. Bari Weiss will be in the Trump admin any day now. All this is an audition for her.
Go watch the interview on YouTube. It is amazing and you will be a Scott Pelley fan for life.
Also, with Bari so locked in on social media numbers, if that NYT video hits a million views, it will just piss her off more.
The funniest thing about this is that Pelley did pick clips that make the protesters look bad, including things like throwing snowballs at officers and yelling in their faces but it still wasn’t enough for Weiss.
My question is how bad does this have to get before the press is bad enough to cause a change.
So sad, I always watched it with my gma in the 90s
Bari Weiss is an idiot
Fuck Bari Weiss
60 minutes credibility destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Kinda a moot point. Wasn’t it deemed a good shoot.
These folks are delusional sycophants. We all saw what happened that day; the guy should be awaiting trial.
Good thing they didn’t, her surviving family could have sued.
This illustrates the fragility of our societal institutions that top out at a leader that holds its fate in their greedy hands!
Who are these people (meaning Bari Weiss and her ilk)? They are utterly shameless and will do ANYTHING for money, including selling our beloved Republic down the river for 30 pieces of silver.
Somebody needs to pull up a billboard with Scott Pelly’s name on it saying Integrity pass it on
Well, technically she was. Whether or not you believe it was intentional is a different discussion.
