...like rats, gnawing at anything, and everything, good about America.

"If a political party does not have it's foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right, and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power....

Dwight D Eisenhower Speech: March, 1956

Thanks for posting this clip. We need more journalists to take the daring step out of the shadows like Pelley and shine the spotlight on this administration’s oppression.

Speaking of playing dead.

😂.

Really appreciate him making this bold stand at a time when so many of his peers are folding at the first sign of trouble.

Just outstanding. 👏👏👏

we absolutely know with certainty?

Because when delusion rules our freedoms cease to exist, which is what is happening now.

It is Reason that will restore what Delusion has destroyed.

Can't never could.
Won't never will.
Quitters never win.

They want you to concede defeat.
They want to destroy your desire to fight.
They want you to lay down and die.

FUCK THAT.

Steel your resolve.
Embrace what you love.
Seize your day.

Thank you for your bravery, Scott Pelley, because that’s what it takes to speak the truth now.

"Democracy dies in Darkness" as its slogan.






And then on top of that, they rolled out a new MISSION STATEMENT in January of 2025: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

Yeah. Storytelling.

No Kings Hands Off! 💙🌈

I wish there were more like you. Decent people who aren't afraid. You and Dan Rather (my age group) and a few others fill the bill. If only there were more!

Thanks for the thread MayReasonRule

Don't let the bastards get ya' down!

May you seize your day and laissez les bon temps rouler!

We have only begun to fight!

A real fucking journalist. Thank you, Mr. Pelley.

So far every note has been pitch-perfect.

How it started.

He rips Trump to shreds without mentioning his name.

The speech runs from 00:47:49 to about 1:10:00 (about 23 minutes):

I don't know why the YouTube thumbnail is not populating, but the link works.

Scott Pelley vs. the chickenshit, trump-sucking national media.

Thank you for standing up, Mr. Pelley. You represent our age group well. We aren't all idiots and Trumpers!

I saw this live last week and it was amazing. Now that MAGA realizes that it exists, I hope they all choke on it.

Pelley put himself on the line with his address; may the seeds of his words land on fertile, willing minds.

He is speaking the truth.

It is dead.

He nailed it perfectly with this line.

So much of this is the overall, lingering FEAR of what in the hell is going to happen next. I think we are all, as humanity, having stress and turmoil and angst because of that FEAR.

Few seem to have the guts - balls to speak out about all the craziness this mentally challenged clown has created. When someone does speak up you have to take notice. Again…KUDOS TO SCOTT!

He was anchor of the CBS evening news for six years before he was let go for a series of complaints about the "hostile work environment' and finally took it to the CEO, which would have been Les Moonves at that time. That's how he ended up on 60 Minutes.

Moonves is a world class asshole and things did improve a bit after he was fired.

Wish that George Clooney would go off script at the end of one performance and read Pelley’s speech.
