MAGA radio host Megyn Kelly sounded off on CBS News chief Bari Weiss during a new episode of her show over the decision to fire veteran journalist Scott Pelley.
Pelley was let go from CBS News on Tuesday "for cause," according to a letter obtained by NBC News. In the letter, CBS executive Nick Bilton said Pelley had shown contempt for the organization when he accused senior leadership of "murdering" the acclaimed show "60 Minutes" by firing journalists and producers.
Kelly said on Wednesday that Pelley's firing was probably "overdue" because of his attitude, but she took issue with the way Weiss and CBS News handled the issue, which she described as "bush league."
"There has to be some massaging of the team of talent and producers who are there or fire them all," Kelly said. "Do one or the other, but don't just try to say, 'I will parachute in somebody with zero experience, and you will respect him or else.' That's just not going to work."
"It's been a blood bath over there," Kelly added.
