Scott Pelley Likens Being Fired from ‘60 Minutes’ to ‘It’s Like Your Spouse Was Murdered’

‘Well, if we want to talk about it at an emotional level’
By Grabien Staff

TRANSCRIPT:

PELLEY: “Well, if we want to talk about it at an emotional level, the best thing that I can imagine in terms of describing it is that it’s like your spouse was murdered. There’s some moments of the day I feel fine. There are some moments of the day that I just frankly fall apart when I least expect it, not that there’s any particular trigger. But I do want to be clear that I do not feel sorry for me. I don’t care about me. I’m fine. I care about these people that I left behind, the people who are still trapped there, and this institution that I love so much. You said that I’ve been there 37 years. I’ve been married 42 years, so that’s the depth of my devotion.”
