Scott Pelley

But it became plain very quickly that they were talking about me.

And they were unhappy about the meeting that had occurred.

A meeting that had ended in thunderous applause.

for me, if I may say so, because somebody had stood up for the broadcast.

So I sit down like, okay, well, let's talk about it.

Tom accuses me of physically abusing Nick Bilton.

This is a lie.

I didn't come within 10 feet of Nick Bilton.

In my life, I have never put my hands on anyone in anger.

Not one time.

And when he was caught in that lie, he said, well, okay, I take that back.

And I said, great.

conversation proceeded a little bit i turned to barry weiss who was sitting to my left and i said but let's you know let's talk about the firings why were the firings necessary i'm not answering that question well how did tanya simon not lead the broadcast brilliantly i'm not answering that question okay sharon alfonzi cecilia vega i mean

What possible reason could there be to take them off the air?

I'm not answering that question.

So now I'm detecting a pattern that's going to go nowhere.

She is still going to stonewall about why she took all these people out.

So I'm thinking that the meeting's going to carry on.

We're going to have a long conversation.

I'm going to hear from them about what they think.
