There is one true test of whether you are an actual journalist or a propagandist.

Whether you expose the rot where you draw your pay check when you’re in your prime.

Scott Pelley proved his worth as a reporter.

When you walk away from millions of dollars while you are one of the top earners in your profession, it says exactly who you are as a human being.

Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton refuted Pelley’s account of events, but neither would have had a snowball’s chance of ever having a paper crown if they didn’t slobber over the Ellison himbos and do their propagandistic bidding. People like that never quit: they have to be pushed out kicking and screaming.

They have a vested interest in gouging at the trough: they fail upwards and when the jig is up they don’t have another place to go. They are going to make deals with the devil to keep their cushy positions.

Pelley stood his ground knowing full well the consequences. He did it anyway. That takes guts.

Journalism is not about pandering or being polite. It is not about keeping your mouth shut and cosplaying with a silly paper crown.

He is one of the rare ones in the profession, and the fact that the himbo overlords with their own secrets to hide wanted him out and got their useful idiots to do their bidding tells you everything you need to know.
