Bari Weiss has that same "lights are on, no one's home" expression as Aileen Cannon. Working for her must be Hell.

“Bari Weiss knows what she said is not true,” Pelley said in a Wednesday statement, according to The New York Times. “In the meeting on Tuesday, in which I was effectively fired, there was no effort of any kind to ‘find a way back,’ as Weiss said in the editorial meeting. At no point did anyone in the Tuesday meeting suggest that there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution.”

He continued, saying Weiss, the editor-in-chief of CBS News, and Tom Cibrowski, the president of CBS News, were “openly hostile” during a meeting with him Tuesday.

“No CBS executive, at any time, suggested ‘a way back.’ To say so now is disingenuous. And they know it,” Pelley said.

Pelley’s statement comes after Weiss addressed Pelley’s firing on Wednesday’s network morning call, telling staff that she’s “only” interested in working in a place that has “mutual respect.”
