Laura Ingraham sharply criticized Scott Pelley as a “snob” after revealing she briefly worked with him at CBS News.
“I had a short stint at CBS News as a commentator in the late 1980s and overlapped with Pelley when he was White House correspondent,” Ingraham said. “We only exchanged a few words in the hallway — nothing significant.”
“He may not remember me — I was just a lowly peon — but I remember him clearly. He carried himself like a snob, with an aura that he was above everyone else.”
Ingraham added that she found his attitude surprising given his background: “Not what I expected from a man born in San Antonio. Texans of his generation are usually much more in touch with how real Americans think — something the new CBS News president, Bari Weiss, appears to be trying to tap into.”

A CBS News source told CNN’s Brian Stelter, “We are so bone-tired of being in the news.”
Stelter wrote, “After speaking with people there all weekend long, I can say that morale within the news organization is as low as you’d expect, and there is a wide range of opinion about what’s gone down at ‘60 Minutes.’ Some newsroom staffers believe Weiss is the problem, while others are more forgiving (or at least less impacted by her changes). A few told me they wish Weiss would defend herself and explain her moves on the record, though I’m told nondisparagement clauses and other legal provisions stand in the way of that.
Stelter added, “Most of all, the CBS News staffers conveyed that the newsroom is still soldiering on, landing scoops, asking questions, doing the work. The big unknown, one veteran CBS Newser said, is, ‘How many viewers have turned us off or tuned us out because of all of this?’”
Turned off because news organizations are supposed to deliver the news, not become it.
