Totally Informed Serious Intellectual Scott Pelley to Bari Weiss: Where Are You Getting This Lunatic Claim that the American Public Thinks We're Biased? Because We Sure Don't Think That

The Royal We. And by "royal" I don't mean of noble birth, I mean "inbred, stupid, and incapable of caring for themselves."

Scott Pelley describes pushing back after Bari Weiss, his now-former boss at CBS News, asked 60 Minutes staffers to reflect on why Americans think mainstream journalists are biased.

He literally says, "I never wore the uniform, but I've been in combat for this country."

He's been in combat for you, you guys.

He's a War Hero, Racists.

Oh and he cries at how hurtful it is to be denied the respect that his Combat Experience has earned him.

Fired 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley on the verge of tears:

He's such a brilliant reporter and student of society that he had no idea that repeatedly insulting your boss (and his boss, on top of that) to get cheap applause from the other communist droogs is a firing offense.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: "But it really didn't occur to you that you could be fired after so many of your colleagues had been let go after you'd had this, you know, very contentious interaction with your new boss?"
Scott Pelley: "You know, some reporter, I turned out to be. I just didn't connect the dots. I mean, was this meeting contentious? Yes, but 60 Minutes is known for two things, a ticking stopwatch and hard questions. And we ask ourselves those hard questions in the shop because they sharpen us and make us better..."
Garcia-Navarro: "So, you walk in, and what was the energy of the room?"
Pelley: "Hostile, dismissive before I could take my seat. Tom Cibrowski said, this is a firing offense. I was confused. I wasn't sure who he was talking about in the room, but it became plain very quickly that they were talking about me, and they were unhappy about the meeting that had occurred, a meeting that had ended in thunderous applause for me, if I may say so, because somebody had stood up for the broadcast."

He cried again later in the interview, but insisting he was crying for his fellow Fake Journalists, not shimself:

Scott Pelley cries again when declaring CBS’s Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski showed “breathtaking, completely lack of empathy,” “callousness,” and “inhumanity” by letting go Tanya Simon because her “family is legendary at CBS News.”

He again insists the tears are not “about me,”… pic.twitter.com/5WSjQDJjmF

Via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit, Scott Pelley is a Theater Kid Dum-Dum, writes Jonathan Leaf.

And a nasty one, too.

Pelley is a classic talking-head--someone who started in television and whose whole career has been forged within it. This is the world that the movie Broadcast News depicts. Someone handsome and deep-voiced appears on camera. Others do most or all of the writing and the research.
(Interestingly, the producer of the 2009 Chevron piece, Draggan Mihailovich, was among the top 60 Minutes producers fired late last month by CBS News management, enraging Pelley.)
In Britain, news anchors have traditionally been called "newsreaders." That's because this is what they are. Their job is to make sure that their hair is coiffed when they read from the teleprompter. Pelley was a male bimbo: a himbo.
Over the years, he made many absurd and bombastic statements. For example, in 2006 he presented a completely uncritical two-part report on climate change. When critics asked him why he didn't speak to anyone who questioned the assertions of those who said that climate change was an existential threat to humanity, he responded by saying that this idea was akin to Holocaust denial.

...
"The job of on camera talent is that of a performer. Take Christiane Amanpour. She has often appeared on TV wearing flak jackets when she is far from a combat zone. This is her way of selling the message that she is a field correspondent accustomed to visiting dangerous terrain. Similarly, Pelley is said to have liked to end news broadcasts by taking off his glasses and gazing gravely as the camera dramatically panned in to him. That was his way of ending on a weighty yet "intimate" note."

Apparently this gaywad's big Theater Kid Power Bottom Move is chewing solemnly on his glasses as he contemplates the injustices of the universe.

======

It's funny for two reasons.

The first is that this is the personification of that "SOURCE?!" meme.

The second is that, yes, there are a lot of polls about it, and they all indicate that the American public thinks the media is biased.

There's also academic research into how pervasive the leftward bias is and its effects on American elections. As of about 20 years ago, if America had an actual unbiased press, the median state would be akin to Wyoming was in the mid-2000s.

There will be war, and all they have to do to win is live. They *want* 94% of humans to die. That means they don't have to be efficient or effective, or even succeed at a stated goal. The death will be the point. So to make them lose, we have to have worked out where they'll be hiding and how to dig them out.

It's not just that they're spoiled rich kids.

It's that the rich kids are destined for less wealth than their parents. They're downwardly mobile.

Mamdani had a failed rap career before he ran for mayor. Platner can't keep a business afloat without his parents' money.

They're seeing their station, the level of existence that they were guaranteed by their births, taken away by a society that doesn't value their contributions. They are the most privileged in America, and even they are seeing their fortunes falter!

Best case scenario, they're trying to make themselves working class to appeal to broader concerns (without any knowledge of anything beyond their emotions at their downward mobility). Worst case, they know exactly what they're doing and how they're manipulating people.

103 It's really hard for most Republicans--and quite a few conservatives--to understand that the vast majority of Democrats don't think their political views are political in any way.

They see whatever line the Democrat Party pushes (no matter how radical) is just "common sense."
The kinds of things everyone should agree on.

And so, the only reason Republicans or conservatives oppose their "common sense" policies has to be due to evil intentions or ignorance.

And that's a real hard thing to believe--that they see you as evil and/or stupid.

They are, "it's just common sense that 9 year old children should be able to choose their gender and choose to take puberty blockers."
And we're, "they're children! They can't know that! And it sterilizes them!"
Then they're, "well, you're just being evil and uneducated."
Followed by the GOPe "I'm sure we can all find a common ground. Send $50 today!"

Yeah, what kind of common ground is between sterilizing children and not sterilizing children?

He has a solid self-defense case if you ignore all the teenagers that witnessed the stabbing testified he kept provoking matters by call them "b*thches", '*ussies", and "touch me and find out." That right there ends all claims of self-defense.

Plus the whole the bit about proportionality of a response to a threat. Being told to get lost and pushed a bit doesn't rise to justifying stabbing somebody in the heart.

Then there is that bit about having formed intent by opening and the holding the knife in his backpack just before pulling it out and stabbing the victim in the heart.

They dude is going down for murder. The only question left is how much rioting happens.

All Antifa needs is a reason handed to them. Same with the militant blacks. Scream "injustice and racism" and point to where you want them to riot.

Antifa needs to be paid. I'm not sure if the militant blacks would not be content to burn their own areas down again for free, but the leadership would also need to be paid.

Posted by: Cow Demon at June 08, 2026 02:20 PM (T6aVk)

=======

The most expensive movies cost $400 million.

No Time to Die's budget went high (reportedly $250 million, which I think is reliable because British productions have to report costs to the British government, which become public record).

So, it's so expensive that $775 million means it's honestly near break even at the box office. But then ancillary sales, product placement, pre-booking, and such probably add another nine figures to the revenue stream.

That one watch brand pays something like ten million for the product placement alone.

Saw an interview with Alice Cooper. He was asked why rockers are still performing ? The answer was simple. They love to perform. If it was just a matter of money they would have retired in the 80s and 90s.

404 313 296 Didn't it cost nearly a billion to make?

Posted by: Cow Demon at June 08, 2026 02:20 PM (T6aVk)

=======

The most expensive movies cost $400 million.

No Time to Die's budget went high (reportedly $250 million, which I think is reliable because British productions have to report costs to the British government, which become public record).

So, it's so expensive that $775 million means it's honestly near break even at the box office. But then ancillary sales, product placement, pre-booking, and such probably add another nine figures to the revenue stream.

That one watch brand pays something like ten million for the product placement alone.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 08, 2026 02:23 PM (IOrWk)

I screwed up. I remember seeing somewhere that it needed to hit $956 million to break even. Not that it cost a billion to make.

In any case, I don't even acknowledge NTTD to exist in canon. You Do Not Kill Bond.

I saw Lawrence as a youth in a theater by myself when it was first released. This was, as I recall things, the first time I saw a film in a theater by myself. Blew my mind. It was right there I realized there was a world beyond Clutch Cargo. It occupies something like the first 5 spots of my all time favorite films.

I’m convinced people generally age better now than they did 40+ years ago. I recently watched an old Johnny Carson and by coincidence he was as old at the time of that show as I am now…. He had completely white thinning hair and just looked old (he was fit and trim). Me I’m no physical specimen and yet I look much younger than he looked at the same age… he’s just one example I could cite many others. We just have better medicine and diet now?

I need to get back into watching. Maybe I'll start binge-watching this weekend.

The first ep had the best joke I've seen in awhile. She's all spent and quivering after honeymoon-banging the hot guy from the next-door bunker. Then you get the first real indication that there's something.... wrong... about the neighbors when he gets up from the bed and wipes his dick on the drapes.
