Ever since his firing from 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley has been on a personal press tour, bellyaching about CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss wrecking - in his belief - one of the last bastions of truth in the news media.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  From the infamous Rathergate - where former CBS News anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes used forged documents in a hit piece about President George W. Bush’s National Guard Service to correspondent Lesley Stahl dismissing President Donald Trump on Hunter Biden’s laptop – even editing out his responses – the long-running show has abandoned journalistic ethics when it comes to covering conservatives and Republicans.  On the flipside, it’s run cover and offered softball coverage for Democrats like President Barack Obama, both Bill and Hillary Clinton, and used deceptive editing tactics to cover up former Vice President Kamala Harris’s gaffes.  NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham put it best in this 2024 column: “Nobody in TV news has been more overpraised than 60 Minutes. This horde of urbane leftist snobs has concocted syrupy minutes for Democrats (especially Barack Obama) and salty minutes for Republicans (especially Trump).” What follows is just a sampling of leftist agenda (via the MRC archives) forwarded by Pelley and his fellow 60 Minutes blabbers Lesley Stahl, Morley Safer, Mike Wallace and Andy Rooney:    SCOTT PELLEY   “Too Soon to Tell” How Much Trump “Is In Defiance of the Constitution”   FLASHBACK: “It’s too soon to tell how serious President Trump is in defiance of the Constitution.

If there is less bounce in the step than there once was, if the words don’t flow like they used to, maybe there’s something to be said for knowhow, five decades on the Hill and in the Oval...You have… pic.twitter.com/JLDxyw0Nwb — Geoffrey Dickens (@GCDickens) June 3, 2026   “Joe Biden is among the longest-serving politicians in Washington. If there is less bounce in the step than there once was, if the words don’t flow like they used to, maybe there’s something to be said for knowhow, five decades on the Hill and in the Oval...You have lived a long life of triumph and tragedy. In November, you’ll be 80. And I wonder what it is that keeps you in the arena.” — Correspondent Scott Pelley in an interview with President Joe Biden on 60 Minutes, September 18, 2022.   GOP House Speaker Race Endangering the World “The President is asking for billions of dollars for Israel and Ukraine. But Congress is paralyzed. Hard-right Republicans are obstructing the election of a Speaker of the House. [To Biden]: Does the dysfunction that we’ve seen in Congress increase the danger in the world?”— Former CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley during an interview with President Joe Biden on CBS’s 60 Minutes, October 15, 2023.   Bashing Brett Kavanaugh   FLASHBACK: “You are rare for many reasons, but one of the reasons is you are a pro-choice Republican.

Many of your opponents are going to say, ‘She’s pro-choice, she’s pro-women’s rights, and she just sent a man accused of sexual assault to the Supreme Court of the United States.’...There are many who believe that Judge Kavanaugh will be the vote that results in abortion becoming illegal in the United States. And I wonder if you’re concerned about that?”— Correspondent Scott Pelley’s questions to Republican Senator Susan Collins on 60 Minutes, October 7, 2018. “I’d like to ask both of you what you made of Judge Kavanaugh’s very emotional response and what it may or may not say about his judicial temperament. Does this man belong on the Supreme Court?”— Correspondent Scott Pelley question to Sens. Jeff Flake-R and Chris Coons-D as aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes, September 30, 2018.   Threatened by a Chant?    CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley: “Madame Secretary, did you hear the Republican convention chanting ‘Lock her up’?”Hillary Clinton: “I didn’t hear it because I wasn’t watching, but I certainly heard about it, yes.”Pelley: “Did you feel threatened by that?”Clinton: “No, I felt sad...”— Exchange on CBS’s 60 Minutes, July 24, 2016.   LESLEY STAHL    Trump Exposes 60 Minutes Censoring Biden Scandal   President @realDonaldTrump to Lesley Stahl in video of @60Minutes video posted by the White House: “I don’t have to discredit you.
