Getty Images for Rare Impact Fun Jimmy Kimmel is standing up for Scott Pelley after the longtime broadcast journalist was fired from “60 Minutes.”
Pelley was cut from the newsmagazine program after accusing newly appointed CBS News boss Bari Weiss of “murdering” the show and saying new executive producer Nick Bilton has “slender qualifications for this job.”
“Last night, the Trump suck-ups at CBS fired a great and deeply respected journalist, Scott Pelley, from his job at ‘60 Minutes,'” Kimmel said during his Wednesday night monologue, “because he stood up for truth and integrity at a show that’s been the gold standard for broadcast journalism for 57 years.”
