Scott Pelley’s Idea of Journalism

source: Wall Street Journal

By Karl Rove: Pelley claimed in his Times interview that Ms. Weiss put “a thumb on the scale” for the Trump administration in CBS’s coverage of last year’s chaos in Minneapolis. (Which CBS denies.) As a target of Mr. Pelley’s slipshod journalism, I can say with certainty that at CBS News and “60 Minutes,” there’s long been a thumb on the scale for one political party—and it isn’t the Republicans.
