Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss is killing 60 Minutes from inside CBS

Scott Pelley just went nuclear on his bosses. The 60 Minutes correspondent accused Bari Weiss, who runs CBS News, of basically murdering one of television's most storied programs through her editorial decisions and staffing choices that have stripped away everything that made the show work for decades.

What's wild is that this isn't some anonymous complaint buried in a lawsuit. Pelley said it out loud, essentially telling the industry that the people running his network don't understand what they're doing. He's also taken shots at the new producer brought in to reshape the show, suggesting that whoever they hired doesn't get how 60 Minutes actually operates.

This kind of public blowup from a veteran correspondent signals something rotten at the top. When someone with Pelley's track record and credibility starts calling out leadership this directly, it means internal attempts to fix things have already failed and people are running out of patience.
