YOU DON’T HAVE TO SELL ME ON IT, I ALREADY WANTED HIM GONE: Media Reporter: Pelley Firing May Trigger ’60 Minutes’ Exodus.

Along with Pelley, correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega were recently fired and correspondent Anderson Cooper departed.

“No one has left the building at ’60 Minutes’ without some version of what Scott did, some sort of criticism toward the new management, and indeed the new ownership about the direction of the show,” Byers said.

“It is very difficult to see how this new leadership is able to usher ’60 Minutes’ as it has existed in the past into the future,” Byers added. “We only have three remaining correspondents there. I know that they currently are deliberating over what they are going to do.

“It’s very possible that we’re going to arrive at a moment here in a matter of weeks, if not days, where there is no existing talent left at ’60 Minutes’ and they are going to have to build this back up from scratch.”

Best thing that could happen to the show, really.
