Scott Pelley, the longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent who was fired by the network last week after criticizing its new leadership, is sparking scorn from conservatives over a new interview with the New York Times.
During the wide-ranging interview, Pelley fought back tears as he described being fired by top bosses at CBS News, accused its corporate leadership of altering coverage to please President Trump and called for the ouster of the network's top editor Bari Weiss.
