Do you think that was part of the reason executive producer Tonya Simon was let go?
I can hear how much this has hurt you.
One of the arguments that Barry Weiss has made about 60 Minutes and CBS News is that they need to be brought into the modern era.
Nick Bilton also said in a staff meeting with you that broadcast is an ice cube that is melting.
Do you think they have a point and that 60 Minutes needs to change, even if it's reaching a huge audience now?
Does its metabolism, do the kinds of correspondence that it has have to change to reach a younger audience that interacts with media in a completely different way and looks at journalists, perhaps like you, as something from a different era?
So you don't think 60 Minutes needs to change?
Nick Bilton sent a very conciliatory note to the staff this past week.
He promised editorial independence.
He praised some of your longtime colleagues, Leslie Stahl, Bill Whitaker, John Wortham.
And I just want to say my producer just told me that while we've been talking, those three released a statement that they are staying at 60 Minutes.
How does that make you feel?
Do you think though they can trust those assurances?
Do you think Barry Weiss needs to be removed?
President Trump reacted to your being fired.
He went on a podcast and called you a stiff.
He also said you were part of this gang of stupid, crooked people that don't care about your country.
Last few questions.
It's the era we live in.
Scott, you joined CBS as a reporter in 1989.
