Jimmy Kimmel voiced strong support for Scott Pelley following his dismissal from CBS's '60 Minutes,' labeling the decision as cowardly and indicative of declining journalistic standards. Pelley was terminated after openly criticizing the new leadership, particularly Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton, during a staff meeting. Kimmel remarked on the irony of CBS, which he referred to as 'Trump suck-ups,' firing a journalist known for his integrity. He noted that Pelley had reached a breaking point after witnessing the firing of several colleagues and expressed his discontent with the management's direction. CBS defended the firing, claiming Pelley had breached the trust within the team, while Pelley countered that he was pressured to include falsehoods in his reporting. His departure marks a significant shift in the leadership and values of '60 Minutes,' a program that has been a staple of broadcast journalism for over five decades.
