<p>Recently ousted &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; anchor Scott Pelley registered record-low self awareness level — and gave the impression that he&#8217;d never before encountered a normal human being — during a New York Times interview over the weekend.</p>
<p>Pelley, who was fired &#8220;for cause&#8221; by &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; executive producer Nick Bilton after raging at the network&#8217;s new leadership, expressed his complete bewilderment that new top exec Bari Weiss would ask his former colleagues at CBS News about bias in their coverage.</p>

<p>&#8220;She, I am told, said something to the effect of, &#8216;Why do you think the country thinks you&#8217;re biased?&#8217;&#8221; Pelley explained, adding, &#8220;But she didn&#8217;t offer any kind of a metric.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelley went on to suggest that there was no reason for Weiss to even ask such a question, saying, &#8220;Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about?&#8221;</p>
<p>AllSides.com, a media watchdog organization, rates CBS News reporting tends to &#8220;<a href="https://www.allsides.com/news-source/cbs-news-online-media-bias">lean left</a>,&#8221; and Pew Research data shows that, accordingly, more Democrats than Republicans view CBS News as a <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2025/06/10/the-political-gap-in-americans-news-sources/">trustworthy source</a> of information.</p>
<p>While it&#8217;s certainly possible that Pelley never saw the AllSides assessment or the Pew Research data, it&#8217;s unlikely that he was unaware of the lawsuit, filed by President Donald Trump against &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; over edits made to a pre-election interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.</p>
<p>CBS News parent company Paramount paid out $16 million over the Harris interview, which Trump and numerous others alleged had been deceptively edited to clean up several of her &#8220;word-salad&#8221; answers. The interview aired in early October 2024, just weeks prior to the election — and Paramount, without issuing an apology, agreed to the $16 million settlement in July 2025.</p>
<p>Pelley&#8217;s first post-ouster interview raised a number of questions, particularly after he also claimed that he&#8217;d &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/scott-pelley-takes-military-cosplay-to-new-level-in-deluded-nyt-interview">been in combat</a>&#8221; for the United States and claimed that watching people he&#8217;d worked closely with lose their jobs at CBS News was like personally witnessing the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/scott-pelley-compares-cbs-ouster-to-family-being-murdered-in-over-the-top-interview">murders</a>&#8221; of close friends and family members.</p>
