Episode description

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley have been fired for humiliating his boss in front of coworkers? Michael examines the controversy surrounding veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley and his dismissal following a tense staff meeting with new leadership. After reviewing reporting, audio accounts, and Pelley's own interview with The New York Times, Michael argues that one key question has been overlooked: exactly what was said in the room that led to the firing? He breaks down the confrontation, the broader battle over CBS News' future, and whether Pelley's conduct amounted to protected dissent or clear-cut insubordination.
