  "textContent": "Recently fired _60 Minutes_ correspondent Scott Pelley sat down with The New York Times over the weekend for a lengthy interview about the end of his tenure at CBS News, which Bari Weiss has been speedily destroying with her incompetence. Pelley had a few things to say that confirmed Weiss, already one of the worst operators in the history of network TV, has no idea what she's doing.\n\nAfter he was fired with cause for daring to speak up to newly installed executive producer Nick Bilton in a staff meeting, Pelley released a statement in which he claimed that he had recently been instructed to \"inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.\" During his interview with the _Times_ , Pelley revealed that he was referring to Weiss's attempts to meddle with his report on the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. From the interview:\n\n> It’s Sunday; we’re going on the air that night. And in the case of stories that are, as we say, crashing, our deadline on Sunday is noon. So, we work on all of these things. We get the piece approved by everyone. And about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent? Now, I’m paraphrasing. I don’t have the quote, but that’s what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving  _toward_ the officer.",
