CBS News fired longtime "60 Minutes" Correspondent Scott Pelley after a contentious all-staff meeting in which he clashed with new Executive Producer Nick Bilton and accused Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the storied newsmagazine. It's the latest chapter of upheaval at CBS News. Steve Kroft, a "60 Minutes" correspondent for 30 seasons before retiring, joins Geoff Bennett for more.
