CBS is nothing more than a propaganda machine. I will not give them one cent of my hard-earned money! Also, we need to bring more awareness, because I think the public doesn't understand, is that Blubbering Blanche and dumpster still want him immune from audits by the IRS! This is not acceptable! The only reason he would want immunity for himself and his billionaire children is that they know they have been committing fraud! You would never ask for this if you were innocent. WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN!
Scott Pelley's "brand" of honesty and integrity needs somehow to be brought into Defiance.news in a way that will bring many of those who will be shocked by his firing over to this new media.
We also need to figure out how to build our own 'paramount' system. The dependency on Substack is scary as they can pull the plug at any minute. Miles--is anyone working on this?
As for DC, journalists... It's so true--I used to live in Richmond--which is now very much part of the DC 'corridor'. When you're there, everything happening in DC is front and center. It is a pulsing energy field and these journalists think it is the center of life. But when you get outside that corridor--DC becomes a blip on the screen and I don't think folks in DC realize that enough.
I've lived in 9 states in this country--3xs in Richmond/Hampton Roads. area When there, you get sucked into the DC energy but move away and it becomes the blip. And more and more, people aren't paying attention to DC at all....
I’m in DE (I’ve ordered stuff and the children who take the call neither know what DE stands for nor that it is a state), a few of us pay attention to DC. It is scary that more people don’t. I’ve lived in 5 states. For me, it is not proximity to the government nexus, but age and time to pay attention to it. There are a lot of white (un) christian nationalists around here. I hope the rest of us are doing the right stuff to turn this mess around. VOTE like your life depends on it, because it does.
I live in MI and most of the people I know watch all kinds of different news. Sadly, a lot of my extended family & some friends watch Fox only. You guessed it, many of them are brain-washed, with the exception of a few. Those few know what’s going on in DC and around the country as well. I will have to gift more Substack subscriptions once again.
I drunk text liberal substacks to my fox relatives. All my 85 yo mother does is ask me if I am a christian and will she see me in heaven. I have to pinch my lips and think you b* you aren’t even going to see me on earth anymore let alone where you white christian nationalists think you are going. Mercy.
Long after Trump, CBS will forever be the loser & all the wishy-washy sell-outs will be looking for validation they will never receive - you sell out your values & you become NOTHING - untrustworthy, irrelavent & useless to society. Anyone can cave in, only the strong, ethical, moral will remain & be respected.
So when we suffer through a terrorist attack or cyber breach I'm guessing it will be Biden's fault, maybe even Obama's fault because we all know that there is no way this regime is going to admit that it's their sycophants that have caused any of the mess in which we finds ourselves!
It has been both fascinating and horrifying to watch so many of the ‘chosen’ in TrumpWorld sell their souls and eagerly choose to put aside any dignity, truthfulness, humility, kindness and honor they might have possessed, to serve a degenerate, destructive, dishonest and self-serving regime. I truly believe that these individuals have a form of mental and spiritual illness. Because what must that do to one’s spirit to choose to give up everything good to serve evil. Thank you Scott Pelley for all you have done over the years and for showing the world a different, better path.
Sounds like you’re victim blaming. He didn’t get himself fired any more than a woman gets herself raped. How you use your words are important. Those assholes fired him.
He won't give up. I think after he takes a break, he will get another job somewhere where he will be accepted into open arms. Most that will accept them will understand that he loves America and loves the TRUTH. Which is a great asset! I wish him well and I know he will be fine.
RIP 60 Minutes. In this case better dead than compromised. Everyone ever associated with the show could be counted on to bring an important story to light, accurately. The very few times there was a screwup, it got exposed and corrected. THAT’s what gave 60 Minutes and all associated with it valuable street cred. So good for Scott Pelly for telling CBS and Co to take a flying leap off a tall building. I hope we will find him again on a different platform. We still need his voice.
When a sophisticated and educated and nice-looking woman suddenly flies off using several F-bombs, especially referring to the sheet hole at the White House, it gets me so aroused I can hardly control myself, lol. So ladies, have at it. I’ll come running. I’ll bring flowers, fine wine, poems from the classics. I’ll pull out my guitar and sing.
I quit watching 60 minutes a few years ago. It has been failing slowly then suddenly. I’m surprised it took this long for pelley to fall flat on his face. The only good thing left is his sonorous voice. There is no glory for him. He should have spoken up long ago. Pathetic. Poor little billionaire.

Scott Pelley did not get himself fired.
Herr Drumpf fired him.

Scott Pelley is a hero.
Great piece, Miles🙏🙏

Scitt Pelley is a leader- head and shoulders abive Barry Weiss and the cabal has taken over CBS. Walter concrete must be livid
Firing Stephen Colbert, now Scott Pelley.
I'm responding with my checkbook. No more CBS. Never watched Fox (Faux Entertainment). Became a sustaining member of DEFIANCE.org
Let's throw out the pedophile enablers and reclaim democracy - Liberty and Justice FOR ALL.
"He decided his job wasn’t worth his soul."
I wish the same could be said about Trump's legion of enablers. (Hey, Rubio, I'm looking at you...just for starters.)
