2. As a former fan and former regular viewer of "60 Minutes" ...

... I'm pretty sure Scott was going to be fired anyway. Not that he deserved to be fired, but the folks with talent and scruples have all been shown the door recently. CBS just doesn't give a shit, and they're willing to sacrifice the best and most profitable news show ever created, just to prove their "loyalty" to Chump.

Chump will be gone in 2 years or less ... but 60 Minutes will be gone FOREVER. CBS cannot survive at this rate, they'll be gone too, before we know it. Paramount "bought" CBS and turned it into nothing in record time.

I hope Scott Pelley writes a book, or maybe he'll go Rachel Maddow's route and do podcasts on the internet. He deserves the opportunity to tell everyone the very large shaft he was handed, before they fired him.
