If you have ever worked with or around elitist liberals, then you will almost certainly recognize this phenomenon.
For convenience’s sake, we might simply call it jaw-dropping audacity.
In a clip posted to the social media platform X, longtime reporter Scott Pelley, formerly of CBS News’ “60 Minutes” until his firing Tuesday, insisted that no one associated with the long-running program regarded it as biased.
Pelley made those comments during an interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro of The New York Times.
“Why do you think the country thinks you’re biased?” Garcia-Navarro asked, recalling a question posed by Bari Weiss during a meeting with “60 Minutes” senior staffers shortly after her ascent to editor-in-chief of CBS News.
