CBS News fires correspondent Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes

CBS has since laid off a number of employees – more then 6% of its workforce – and shut down its storied radio division. After the latest season of 60 Minutes ended on 17 May, the network fired Tanya Simon, its executive producer, and longtime correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, and hired Bilton to lead the show.
