One of the oddities of modern journalism is that reporters are still expected to speak truth to power, just not the power that signs their paychecks. That’s the lesson from Scott Pelley’s firing at 60 Minutes.
According to reports, Pelley confronted new management after a series of firings and upheavals at the iconic broadcast news magazine. He questioned the qualifications of the people being put in charge. He accused Bari Weiss of trying to dismantle the culture and values that made 60 Minutes successful. Within a day, he was gone.
