CBS SH0CKER: Scott Pelley Just Took Down CBS in 11 Words on Live TV — And Executives Are Fuming!
In a rare and riveting moment on national television, veteran anchor Scott Pelley used the closing minutes of CBS's "60 Minutes" to deliver a sharp rebuke directed at the show's parent company, Paramount Global.

What followed next has ignited a national reckoning over editorial freedom, newsroom censorship, and the future of American journalism.
So what exactly happened inside CBS — that made someone like Scott Pelley break decades of silence? And why was it that the moment Bill Owens left in the dark… was also the moment the spotlight turned to what CBS never wanted the public to see?
