The Significance of Scott Pelley’s Firing

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.

Prominent CBS journalist Scott Pelley was recently terminated by new President Bari Weiss and her recently named news chief Nick Bilton, after Pelley hijacked the meeting announcing Bilton’s appointment. While most understand the Pelley was in the wrong with his arrogant impertinence, at the same time most in the legacy news media agree with Pelley that Weiss was injecting conservative bias to curry favor with Trump. In fact, Pelley’s clear bias led him tog abandon any pretense to neutrality. Yet, he was not acting as a pundit or opinion host, but as a journalist. As a result of his biased reporting he did not discuss, he demonized; he did not debate, he destroyed. Pelley paid lip service to debate and discussion, but those were ideals he honored only in the breach. Our democratic republic cannot endure so long as the news is provided to the electorate by the like of Scott Pelley.
