Brian Stelter, CNN’s chief media analyst, told Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” that Pelley’s firing likely won’t go over well within the CBS newsroom and could lead to a costly legal battle. In the termination letter, CBS Executive Producer Nick Bilton said Pelley was dismissed “for cause,” which he can challenge in court. <\/p>\n

“This is like an underwater earthquake at CBS News. It’s not going to be visible on TV right away, but this is bound to have many ripple effects and maybe a legal battle,” Stelter said. <\/p>\n

Pelley had been a journalist with CBS News for more than four decades before he was dismissed on Tuesday. His firing came just one day after Pelley confronted CBS News leadership in a staff meeting and accused them of “murdering” the flagship show, “60 Minutes.” <\/p>\n

“Yesterday\u2019s performative display of hostility \u2014 enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation \u2014 demonstrated that you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress,\u201d Bolton wrote in the letter. <\/p>\n
