FCC boss Brendan Carr went after journalist Scott Pelley for claiming in his recent New York Times profile that it “hadn’t occurred” to him that he would be fired from “60 Minutes.”

“One of the reasons why trust in media is so low is because many legacy journalists are completely out of touch,” Carr wrote on X Sunday morning. “You could not get away with that behavior at any run of the mill job. It is revealing to see how blind some are to that.”
