"They’re going to have to fire him. No amount of HR speak will have him retract what he said," one CBS staffer just told me, adding: "For an anti-woke crusader, this is pretty woke of [Bari] to accuse Pelley of after firing the entire leadership of his show and two correspondent colleagues."

Dylan Byers reports that Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership today and the two sides didn't find common ground, making it likely he'll either resign or be fired.

Also, Pelley says Bari Weiss asked him to make an apology for creating a hostile work environment.

Pride, folks, pride! Adam, Angela and I team up to pick the 11 best gay movies of the '90s, ranked. It's a measure of the quality we had to choose from that I could give you a different and very credible 11 (and I'll do that here in a few days). Meanwhile, enjoy this long, fun, wild conversation.

God-tier NYT correction: Correction (left), original (right) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/n...

A correction was made on June 1, 2026: An earlier version of this article misquoted Claire Valdez's comment about her aspirations after moving to New York City in 2015. She said she moved to pursue a "career in the arts."

As she campaigns, Ms. Valdez displays few qualms about her identification with the area's newer residents.
'he moved to the city in 2015 to pursue a
full life as "a queer in the arts" she said. Instead, she found rising rents and diminishing opportunities, even for those with degrees and cultural capital.

Just reiterating that Trump suing the IRS in order to extract a deal essentially protecting him and his family from ever having to pay taxes again is the kind of thing that should send many people to prison. People swing from lampposts for that kind of corruption. It cannot be allowed to stand.

Orrrrrr....maybe we just take joy in other things. Listen, nobody's stopping you from having the great time you clearly hope to have, so go to it!

Maybe it'll be a huge hit and I'll eat my words (I've been wrong a lot!), but if the Sunday box office stories contain phrases like "surprising underperformance," it will be worth asking a couple of questions: Who exactly was this for, and what was supposed to make them leave their houses to see it?

When I talk about big-studio dead-end thinking, this is what I mean: Masters of the Universe trades entirely on presumed nostalgia for a bit of 1980s debris that has been monetized so relentlessly over decades that nobody's had the chance to miss it. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Agree 100%. I think one difference, though, is that I'm not sure that Kane Parsons would even be interested in a visit to the Criterion Closet. I hope he would. I want to get him interested!

I'm not posting this in some fit of "Oh god, if this is the future of filmmaking we're all doomed" esthetic despair. It's more enthrallment. I'm looking at someone who does the thing I've spent my life writing about and loving, but shares no language about it with me. It's fearful and humbling.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJun 2(source)

He doesn't know movies and doesn't care about them much. He gazes at rolling green fields--real ones--and thinks they look like a screen saver, but also knows they're there bc some rich guy wants them to be, and that data centers are in the near distance. His allegiances: YouTube, games, Mr. Robot.>

This profile of Backrooms director Kane Parsons, 20, by @kylebuchanan.bsky.social is fascinating. In some ways it's the story of so many filmmaking prodigies (Scorsese)--an indoor kid w/ a physical issue & tech mastery. But his references and politics are pure 2026. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/m...

Happy Pride month to all of us. Maybe we can all be a little louder than usual this June--and a little kinder to one another.

It takes strength to look the person who could fire you in the eye and tell them that both they and their boss are giant pieces of trash. You usually don't win, but you definitely leave a mark, and you write your place in history. That's what Scott Pelley did today.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

"Bari loves this institution," Bilton told staffers at one point during the highly contentious meeting. "She loves '60 Minutes.'"

"She's murdering '60 Minutes,'" Pelley countered. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that."

This story is based on audio of the meeting obtained by Status. A CBS News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, but Pelley's stunning series of remarks left staffers on the newsmagazine wondering if he will resign.

In the meeting, Pelley pointed out that Weiss has "no qualifications for her job" and told Bilton "you have slender qualifications for this job." Pelley, the former anchor of "CBS Evening News," noted that the changes Weiss has made to that program "have been catastrophic."

"So why should we expect any of this is going to be any better?" Pelley asked Bilton.

Bilton tried to move the meeting along, but Pelley pressed on, challenging the new executive producer’s references in interviews to “60 Minutes” creator Don Hewitt’s vision for the program as he outlined his plans.

"I have another question," the veteran journalist said. "Did you at any point work with Don Hewitt, telling everybody about what Don Hewitt thought, and what his inspiration was? I worked for Don Hewitt from 1999 to 2004 and Lesley Stahl probably worked with him for 30 years. Just wondering how you have such deep insight?"

Bilton replied that he was simply quoting Hewitt’s own words from past interviews and asked Pelley whether he had any other questions. Pelley said that he did.

"I have many questions," Pelley responded. "What was wrong with Sharyn Alfonsi?"

As Bilton started to say he would "defer," Pelley interrupted: "This is not the crowd to dodge."

Bilton insisted he was not dodging.

"Nobody talked to you about that?" Pelley continued, pressing him on the firing. "They're taking one of your correspondents away and nobody mentioned to you what was wrong with Sharyn?"

Bilton acknowledged that he "had conversations with people."

"And what came out of those conversations?" Pelley asked. "They are private conversations?"

Bilton reiterated that he "did not fire" Alfonsi or Vega. Pelley pointed out that Bilton had nonetheless discussed the matter with others. Charles Forelle, a top Weiss deputy and managing editor of CBS News, interjected, telling Pelley that he was being "rude."

"This is not actually productive," Forelle said. "This is not an interview."

"It's working for me," Pelley replied.

"Anybody came into our house—this is '60 Minutes,'" Pelley added. "I guess you wandered in expecting to read a statement off?"

Pelley then asked Bilton "what was wrong with" Draggan Mihailovich, the executive editor of "60 Minutes" who was fired on Thursday.

Bilton again said that he did not fire Mihailovich. Forelle one more told Pelley that he was being "rude."

Pelley did not let up, however. The veteran newsman told Bilton and Forelle that the way management handled the firings was "cruel." Forelle—yet again—responded by calling Pelley "rude."

"I'm not being rude," Pelley shot back. "I have some pretty—you know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock. Sending Draggan Mihailovich to HR to get fired, because nobody could look him in the eye. Not talking about Tanya's contract. Not talking about Sharyn Alfonsi's contract. Not talking about Cecilia Vega's contract. Just calling them up and telling they were fired. That's rude. This is a conversation. That is rude, and you were part of that."

Those were my faves to plan and work on--thank you!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJun 1(source)

There has never in the 75-year history of network news been someone who has done a worse job than Bari Weiss at CBS News. It's one thing to have no integrity, ability, or self-awareness; to add reprehensible politics and a skill for finding like-minded minions is breathtaking.

Sources tell me that Scott Pelley got into a heated back-and-forth with new '60 Minutes' executive producer Nick Bilton and managing editor Charles Forelle in today's meeting. He demanded to know why his colleagues were fired, prompting Bilton to say he wouldn't be intimidated and quickly leave.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJun 1(source)

But it's a lead, don't you think?

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJun 1(source)

Not all stories are summarizable in a headline or a blurb--neither of which writers control. All of us who do this are used to our work getting trashed unread, or dismissed, or mischaracterized. Forgive me when I say that to stay sane, we have to care only about those who bother to read what we do.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJun 1(source)

Just going to reiterate that this story is sharp, thoughtful, appropriately funny and appropriately disdainful-alarmed-disgusted. A number of people here seem to need a depiction-is-not-endorsement refresher course.

Just saw The Christophers tonight and I loved it--Soderbergh working in the service of an exceptionally sharp, witty, original, adult screenplay by Ed Solomon and performances by Ian McKellen (spectacular!) and Michaela Coel that, like the script, deserve to be remembered at year's end. Do not miss.
