Retired 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft has blasted CBS News for firing veteran reporter Scott Pelley and other staff members in a move he called “disastrous” for the show and its audience.
Speaking to Geoff Bennett on PBS NewsHour on Wednesday (June 3), Kroft said, “This is journalistic interference. It makes no business sense whatsoever. It’s the highest-rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years.”
