Page Six: CBS to move Scott Pelley off ‘CBS Evening News’
CBS denies it, but the report says they want him to be on ’60 Minutes’ full time.
Click here for reuse options!While CBS denies it, multiple sources tell Page Six that the network is planning to move Pelley over to “60 Minutes” — where he is already an anchor — full time, and replace him on the network’s flagship news broadcast.
Insiders tell us the switch is ideal because the “60 Minutes” position is prestigious enough that the network wouldn’t have to deal with the p.r. headache of seeming to “demote” one of its most high-profile talents.
Despite rumors that Norah O’Donnell could be a favored candidate to take over for Pelley and become the sole female anchor of a major evening news program, we’re told, “She’s staying at ‘CBS This Morning’ [with Charlie Rose and Gayle King]. The ratings are strong, and they’re a great team.”

maybe one day, CBS can once again be considered a credible news source…until then, they are part of the Trump media machine…willing to back the “death of our nation” with complete fake news coverage of Trump..

I can’t remember the last time I watched a full network news show. I don’t even watch 60 Minutes anymore. It’s not the same without Mike Wallace, Morley Safer and Ed Bradley.
