Don\u2019t care about the country?\u201d Pelley said, choking up and seemingly holding back tears.<\/p>\n<p>This is when Pelley goes off the rails into stolen valor territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never worn the uniform. But I\u2019ve been in combat for this country,\u201d he says through tears. \u201cIn Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait. I\u2019ve been shot at, spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert.

His comments were insulting to generations of American service members. He exemplifies everything wrong with legacy media: an inflated, insufferable sense of self-importance. He truly believes that his time as an embedded reporter makes him a warrior. <strong>(<em>Sign up for Mary Rooke\u2019s weekly newsletter here!<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p>No one disputes that war reporting is hazardous. Journalists have died in conflicts. But embedding with U.S. forces means traveling with trained, armed protectors whose mission includes keeping you alive.

Pelley frames his firing to The New York Times as resistance to \u201cpolitical interference\u201d under new CBS leadership. Yet, legacy outlets spent years in symbiosis with intelligence agencies, administrations, and bureaucracies to deceive the public.<\/p>\n<p>No one was allowed to question former President Joe Biden\u2019s mental health until it became politically expedient to the ruling class. For years, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, and others breathlessly pushed the Steele dossier as credible intelligence. Instead, it turned out to be a hoax perpetuated by the same people who see themselves as democracy\u2019s defenders. The Hunter Biden laptop. The COVID-19 pandemic. WMD\u2019s in Iraq. DEI. Biological differences between men and women. The open border scam. The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>After years of being lectured by those who got it wrong repeatedly, the public rightfully tunes out because this insane level of narcissism is exhausting. But Pelley still refuses to acknowledge the damage was done by him and his cronies. Instead, he cries on camera about his supposed foxhole nights to claim his profession is a sacred calling equivalent to military service. Americans no longer have the appetite to entertain heroism cosplay by the ruling class. <strong>(ROOKE: Far-Left Influencer Tucks Tail At Anti-ICE Protest After Getting Beaten By His Own Game)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s obvious after watching the interview that Pelley is the type of man whose entire self-worth would shatter if someone didn\u2019t recognize him on the street.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1392\">Texas Tech\u2019s Brendan Sorsby Cleared To Play 2026 Season Following Gambling Scandal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Mary Rooke on X: @MaryRooke<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sign up for Mary Rooke\u2019s weekly newsletter here!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Pelley, the CBS 60 Minutes correspondent recently fired amid internal clashes, delivered a masterclass in arrogance during his New York Times interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1420,1200,199,31,285,1426],"class_list":["post-1398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-60-minutes","tag-bari-weiss","tag-cbs-news","tag-donald-trump","tag-new-york-times","tag-scott-pelley"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
