Deranged Leftwing Propagandist Scott Pelley on Chopping Block at CBS; CBS "News" Embarrassed by Gayle King's Insistence That She's an Astronaut Now, and May Also Be Fired

Inside the vicious CBS News 'bloodbath' where staff are fighting, crying and 'resent' Gayle King
By STEVE HELLING FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

CBS is [in] crisis - with staffers crying in the hallways, fighting over story coverage and seating, and scrambling to update their resumes amid fears of mass layoffs.
Insiders have told the Daily Mail that morale has plummeted across the network, from the flagship Sunday news show 60 Minutes to CBS Mornings, sparked by a looming $8.4 billion merger and a $20 billion lawsuit.
The tumult is turning into a 'bloodbath', one employee said, with feverish speculation rife among colleagues as to who will get the axe next.
Tensions are running particularly high about reports that CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, is preparing to slash $500 million in costs in preparation for the lucrative merger with Skydance Media against the backdrop of a ratings freefall.

One assumes SkyDance is demanding that CBS slash this half-billion in costs before the merger because CBS is dying and doesn't bring in much money.

So just to survive as a corporate entity, they have to fire a half-billion dollars' worth of incompetence.

The propagandists at 60 Minutes are aghast that CBS might agree to pay Trump $50 million to settle his "election interference" lawsuit.

...
There have been suggestions recently that bosses at Paramount are entertaining a $50 million payout as the Trump administration considers whether to renew CBS's broadcast license.

As you know, CBS "News" CEO Wendy McMahon resigned rather than agree that her fake news unit engaged in deceptive propaganda on behalf of her beloved communist Democrat Party.

...
'[Wendy leaving] really hurt us a lot,' said one CBS employee. 'I've seen people crying in the halls. Everyone is going into offices and conference rooms to whisper and strategize.'

This is a bonus:

Fed-up sources observed that there was growing resentment towards legendary CBS Mornings anchor Gayle King, who is reportedly facing a fight to have her $10million contract renewed when it ends in September.

$10 million per year?

Boy, she must really bring in the ratings, right?

Gayle King may be riding high on the idea of being an "astronaut" in the wake of her 11-minute space tourism trip with Blue Origin last week, but her popularity appears to be at a low.
In the wake of her highly scrutinized zero-gravity adventure, ratings for her already struggling CBS News morning show have plummeted. And King is apparently not the only one experiencing the backlash.
...
King co-hosts CBS Morning alongside Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson weekday mornings, as the Tiffany Network's competitor to ABC News' Good Morning America and NBC News' Today. It perennially finds itself in third place in the ratings and the highly coveted 25- to 54-year-old demo, though that briefly changed last week.
The Monday before the Blue Origin flight, NewsNation found that CBS Morning had an impressive 3.9 million viewers with 593,000 in the demo. Much like King, however, the numbers quickly came back down to earth.
In the three days following the trip, NewsNation reported the ratings dropped to an average of 1.9 million people (a 51 percent loss) and the demo fell to 339,000 (a 43 percent loss). A week later, viewers in the demo fell even further to 311,000 for a third-place finish.
It may have been hard to foresee just how much blowback this excursion would get from celebrities, late night hosts, and social media users alike, but an industry source told NewsNation it is hard to understand why King was allowed to participate to begin with.
"This stunt should have never been greenlit by CBS News to begin with," the source said. "Gayle tries to be this relatable morning show anchor who claims she's down to earth and then not only takes this gazillion-dollar flight but then attacks people for getting mad at her? It's a complete crock."
King has turned out to be one of the most outspoken members of the six-woman crew, claiming she is now "an astronaut" who followed in the footsteps of Alan Shepard (a.k.a. the first American in space) and accusing critics of sexism.

Back to the Daily Mail:

And there might be more exits to come. Multiple sources told the Daily Mail that 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley could also be on the way out.
'It's marquee name after marquee name.'

As Megyn Kelly noted, CBS doesn't have any "marquee" names.

'People don't want to say it out loud in the office but the entire space debacle really hurt us,' a 60 Minutes staffer said of King's participation in Blue Origin's all-female spaceflight on April 2. 'Gayle being part of that is not a good look for our brand.'
'I think a lot of people resent Gayle for that,' continued the insider. 'I know I do.'
There was a general sense of embarrassment, said one Early Show producer. 'I almost feel like apologizing when I tell people where I work. I hate it here.'

LOL. Cry more.

Coding you must learn.

But the most palpable impact appears to have been felt at 60 Minutes, where staff have compared the atmosphere to a 'sinking ship'.
'We're in the middle of a bloodbath,' a staffer said. 'The axe is falling, people are leaving, no one knows what to do next. We're all updating our resumes because it really feels like this is a sinking ship.'
The tension has spilled out into the open, with blazing rows in the office over story coverage and petty squabbles concerning seating plans, sources told the Daily Mail.
'Fights, and loud ones,' the insider continued. 'You can hear them in the halls. People are arguing over everything and anything. From big things, like how to report stories, to small things, like who is sitting where in the conference room.'

Scott Pelley supported the Regime's banning of rightist speech but now tells Wake Forest graduates they are soldiers in the war against Trump's crackdown on free speech.

Pompous CBS journalist Scott Pelley closed his commencement address at Wake Forest by telling graduates they “are the fierce defenders of democracy, the seekers of truth,” and “the vanguard against ignorance” that’s taken over the country (i.e. Trump).

hah.

I was thinking, though, that Katy Perry is getting some unwarranted blowback. She's a ditz and a ding-a-ling but I don't remember her saying she was an astronaut. That was all Gayle King.

I think the combination of the two makes it really bad, with this ditzy idiot praying to a flower "in space" and then this insufferable idiot Gayle King claiming "we're astronauts now." Katy Perry proves Gayle King is full of shit.

A. Her tits are fake--silicon implants. Photos from early in her career prove this.

B. She relies entirely on Autotune in her singing. Can't keep a melody or hit a correct note to save her life.

What is it about these people and their crying at work? Federal government, television network, whatever. Every story has extensive accounts of the group waterworks being unleashed. They're proud of their hydraulic output and emotional incontinence.

I recall being at a mandatory meeting at Pfizer where management told us 90% of us would be gone within a few months. Hundreds of people in the auditorium, and I only saw one woman cry. She stood up to ask how they could do this to us, broke down, and immediately sat back down.

To make it extra insulting, there were big guys in suits on stage, obvious bodyguards. The tone-deaf site head told us at the end that there was another meeting next door for people who were keeping their jobs, and it was catered, so feel free to go over and get some free food. Nobody did, of course. We all quietly shuffled out.

These weeping titty babies are pathetic. They should have been fired already for being douchebags..

The funny part is that CBS famously said "Screw those hillbillies and rednecks --let' stop making shows they like." So they cancelled all the cornpone shows and replaced them in 1971 with "All in the Family"-- which was originally scripted to MOCK blue collar Americans (as personified by Archie Bunker). CBS imagined the audience would be a bunch of effete urban leftists laughing at the ignorant asshole rightwing uneducated blue-collar working man.

The show was indeed popular --but for the OPPOSITE reason that CBS had planned. America fell in love with Archie Bunker, because even in their attempt the make him look like a fool, the scriptwriters accidentally make him a truth-teller who saw through the cultural bullshit of the era. So CBS once again found themselves with an audience of right-leaning Americans, much to the network's great dismay.

I had a thing for her when I was a kid. She was #3. Simone from Head of the Class was #1. #2 was the chick from My Two Dads, whose name escapes me right now. #4 was Jo from Facts of Life.

165 The beverly hillbillies was originally intended to mock the flyover country people but went on to become the favorite TV show in America for 2 years running when it was first broadcast.

Not so sure of that, even the early shows are fairly balanced about who gets mocked. Mr Drysdale the banker, his wife, and Miss Jane who even the studio audience had trouble understanding.

Go back and check out the first 3-4 episodes from season one where Jed finds oil in his swamp. It is most definitely mockery in the first degree of hill people and their habits.

Posted by: Reforger

Me too! As a dumb kid, I bought the show's narrative that Blair was a total bitch so I ruled her out. But in real life she appears to have aged quite nicely.

Mallory wasn't as extreme a character and I don't recall her having super shopping powers or something.

I remember one where Alex dumps a family outing to go to the next state for legal beer and are convincing the local girls they are pilots about to bomb Canada when mom drives a few hundred miles to catch up and bring him home. I was only a bit past that age, tho in real life Alex would have had 3.2 beer available on Ohio and would not have had to travel.

174 The show was indeed popular --but for the OPPOSITE reason that CBS had planned. America fell in love with Archie Bunker, because even in their attempt the make him look like a fool, the scriptwriters accidentally make him a truth-teller who saw through the cultural bullshit of the era. So CBS once again found themselves with an audience of right-leaning Americans, much to the network's great dismay.

I suppose Meathead was intended to be the young wise one correcting Archie several times each episode.

The evolution of that show is quite interesting. The last season is nothing short of epic stupid funny. Granny claiming to be a doctor in socialist healthcare England. Jethro chasing dragons all over.

I have em on CD and streamed them and watched them on YT. Sure, they played up the hill folks but they were also the moral ones. They had tons more shows and were setting things up. Granny would have beat em all up if they had been too hard on the Clampetts. I remember when they found Mrs Drysdale was from a family with the same name as one she had a feud with....

B. She relies entirely on Autotune in her singing. Can't keep a melody or hit a correct note to save her life.

So, both of the things that make her famous are fraudulent.

I went to the doctor's office recently and the View was on.

Everyone was on their phone so no one was actually watching.

Perhaps their ratings are the assumption that all those captive viewers are actually watching?

I think they might have played it when she gets dressed up to go out a few times. Then she ruins it by beating up Jethro or playing footballs with the local fellers.

But that might be a different theme.
