Bill Maher doesn’t see why Scott Pelley’s 60 Minutes firing is such a big deal.
On Friday’s Overtime edition of Real Time With Bill Maher, the host was dismissive of the tumult surrounding recent changes to the venerated CBS News program, particularly when one of his guests argued that Pelley’s firing was an example of political interference from the Trump administration.
“I just don’t think being a 60 Minutes correspondent is that hard. I don’t feel like Scott Pelley was a national treasure,” Maher said, which earned some shocked laughter from the live audience. “I never liked him, sorry. I just never did.”
Verdict, sentencing and Karmelo Anthony story is shelved. Happened so quickly. All in a matter of hours. It may become an item again if rioting and looting breaks out. Of course, the media would label that as “mostly friendly rioting and looting.”
