She does not love this place; she was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe also said that Bilton, a veteran technology journalist who previously worked at <em>The New York Times<\/em> and <em>Vanity Fair<\/em>, had \u201cslender\u201d qualifications for what is arguably the most important EP job in television news.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cYou should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott Pelley,\u201d Bilton wrote in a note to <em>60 Minutes<\/em> staff Tuesday. \u201cI know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don\u2019t say this lightly. I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the note to Pelley, Bilton wrote: \u201cYesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate among the team, but this was nothing of the sort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1090\">Sydney Sweeney to Star in \u2018Hollow,\u2019 Lindsey Anderson Beer\u2019s Reimagining of \u2018Legend of Sleepy Hollow\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tWeiss hired Bilton in a massive overhaul of the program last month, parting ways with EP Tanya Simon and some of her lieutenants, as well as correspondents Cecilia Vega and Sharyn Alfonsi.

His firing raises questions about all the other correspondents as well.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI know from many conversations with colleagues that many producing teams and correspondents working on the show today have had to fight to maintain editorial independence with regularity,\u201d Vega said in a statement after her termination. \u201cI am far from the only\u00a0<em>60 Minute<\/em>s correspondent who has asked herself, \u2018What is my personal red line?
