EXCERPT:
Scott Pelley, one of the most well-known journalists on the CBS News roster, revealed that the pro-Trump management now leading the network has pressured him to inject bias and lies in news stories. On Tuesday night, Pelley was fired from CBS.
In a statement released via social media, Pelley said the current management of CBS is casting the “legend” of CBS News aside, “apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.”
Pelley said management has “instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.” He added that he was “told to include assertions that are unverified.”
