Scott Pelley Isn't a Serious Journalist

Fired Scott Pelley exposes wild Bari Weiss directives: 'Make protesters look more violent'

Veteran broadcast journalist Scott Pelley, who was fired from CBS News last week after nearly four decades with the network, on Sunday revealed a stunning directive handed down by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, one that appeared designed to depict anti-ICE protesters as “more violent.”Speaking with The New York Times, Pelley recalled he and his colleagues covering the massive protests in Minnesota earlier this year against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, protests that saw immigration enforcement officers kill Americans such as Alex Pretti or Renee Good, the latter of whom was shot dead in her vehicle.“About four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon,” Pelley recalled. “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.”Additionally, Pelley claimed that Weiss has instructed staff on how to cover the killing of Good, who before being shot, was reportedly issued conflicting commands by immigration enforcement agents, including one agent telling her to “drive away.”“And the other thing, Renee Good’s car,” Pelley told the Times, recalling Weiss’ alleged email. “You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”Weiss' insistence on how Good’s killing had to be described in CBS News’ coverage, Pelley argued, flew in the face of what actually happened.“This is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see the officer standing slightly off the front of the car,” Pelley said. “And you clearly see Ms. Good’s wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer. But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says something about her that I can’t repeat in polite company.”Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating. pic.twitter.com/6N3k4BWKdl— Brian Cardone 🏴☠️🇺🇦 (@cardon_brian) June 7, 2026
