TL;DR

Reports differ across sources; according to forbes.com, topline Scott Pelley, the former “60 Minutes” correspondent fired by CBS News after an outburst in a meeting last week, accused the network’s new top editors of “incompetence” and “inexperience” in a scathing new interview published by the New York Times on Sunday, and even suggested notes from editor-in-chief Bari Weiss amounted to putting “a thumb on the scale for the president’s version of events” when covering the protests and shootings in Minneapolis earlier this year.
