Don Lemon on CBS Firing Scott Pelley: ‘It’s So Similar to My Story’

EXCERPT:

LEMON: “Well, I must say that when something like this happens, it triggers, there’s a trigger there all over again. What I write about in the book, the day it happened to me, because, as you were reading Scott Pelley story, it’s so similar to my story. And so, I would imagine even people who didn’t end up having to leave a network or pushed out or whatever it is, just journalists in general are triggered by this. Producers, writers. And I think about all the people who are over at CBS now who are still fighting the good fight. There are hundreds of them over there, and they are committed to making 60 Minutes continue to be the news program that it is and that it deserves to be. However, I hate to be a fatalist, but I think it’s a fait accompli. I don’t think that the management of CBS cares at this point. So, where’s the trust? Where’s the fidelity?”
