This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

@Timodc “There is no democracy without journalism. It can’t be done. That is why I am a journalist.” Scott Pelley

Pelley’s full interview with @LuluGNavarro is here:

@TheRomanoReport If you still believe in a free press this should send a chill up your spine. Thank you Scott Pelley for speaking out and trying to protect a shattered first amendment

Delirious MAGA accounts are now defending media censorship. There's literally nothing they won't defend.

He’s right. Journalists are the only profession protected in the First Amendment. We cannot have a democracy without a free press. I came to this profession mid-life but it definitely a calling not a job.

I hope CBS, the entire network, goes bankrupt and Bari Weiss is exactly what the ICE Agent called Renee Good after murdering her. Worse, she's in the tank for Right Wing Fascism in this country.

@jonfavs Still of the first shot. Her wheels are turned away.

Boycott CBS and boycott their advertisers

It’s time to completely protest 60 minutes. They’ve been overtaken by another Trump stooge @bariweiss and she’s turning it into more Trump propaganda and has ruined the sanctity of the show

Stephen Colbert, 60 Mins., Fox News, Joe Rogan. etc., all examples of media manipulation, in the the MAGA playbook.

. "Can we make the protestors more violent.." tRUMPass his regime and #BillionaireBumBuddies #TrumpsteinPedoCoverUp are the sick of the sickest and need ousting !! America remember when....take a stand ..

They showed a few clips on MSNow this morn & he got emotional in one & it honestly teared me up too. It's heartbreaking to see journalism/the free press/1st Amendment under attack. Seeing some of the best in the bizz being sidelined & fired for telling the truth. It's shameful

Shows how completely corrupt the administration is and what a terrible person Barri Weiss is.

What "scale" exists to put the thumb on when we have incontrovertible video evidence that she defacto killed herself right here at the 2 second mark? See that tire spinning?

What actually happened

@LindaBo43232881 Unconscionable @bariweiss You do not deserve to be in the news business in any capacity.

Weiss, "Can we make the protestors look mor eviolent?" "You need to describe Renee Good's car as 'driving towards the officer." Pelley, "This is not what you see on the video... you see Ms. Goode's wheel turned completely as far as it will go, away from the officer."

Is he ever asked for his perspective on the deceptively edited Kamala video? I’ve never heard a credible defense of that, but would be interested in his take now that he seems free to discuss the show.

We all say it with our own eyes. She tried to run the agent over. That got her killed.

@TheRickWilson My god. Sickeningly unethical. Email directive from Bari Weiss to 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon: “Can we make the protesters look more violent? […] The other thing was, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”

So, Bari Weiss is trying to cover up, interfere in the murder of Renee Good. Putting "thumbs on the scale" ⚖️should be illegal! The media in US is manipulated and corrupt. @OCCRP @ICIJorg

@Lindairvin26958 Weird trend. Thank grok for the typos

Shorter to save you time 👇

Is there a Polymarket on where each MAGA fascist will flee to to avoid the destruction they've caused? I predict @bariweiss will choose Japan. Just a hunch.

It was deeply moving and his integrity and courage is inspiring.

I’m not even going through the comments bc I know they’re here. They slither among us.

Weiss left the NYT because she claims they weren't honest and transparent. After her tiny media startup was bought for $150 million by MAGA affiliated entities, she decided to emulate all the things for which she accused the NYT.

Well, she DID drive toward the officer and struck him. Pelly is trying to piss on your foot and tell you it's raining.

You get the sense that nobody wants to work under that unqualified, unethical, partisan Zionist ghoul.

I can’t imagine how jarring this last year has been for Scott Pelley. I’m devastated CBS bent their knee to authoritarianism. I’ve blocked CBS from my menu guide and deleted the Paramount + app. Shame on them.

I am grateful that Scott Pelley is speaking out. The truth must be told during a time of profound and incessant lying by media and government.

You mean this guy who put his thumb on the scale for Biden?

She was breaking the law. Refusing commands. She created the danger. No denying that. Case closed. People can judge video for selves. Those facts are undeniable and self evident. Martyring her is a disservice to other dumb and mentally ill pekple.

H is full of shit-- he was told to show true picture of protesters, none of this peaceful protest bullshit- tell both sides of story and far leftist Pelley refused

This is what happens when you lose your job. You retaliate by lying. This narcissist isn’t as special as he thinks he is. Bye bye Scott Pelley.
