Firings at CBS' '60 Minutes' reflect the fight for media control in the age of Trump

The show's new leader says he fired star Scott Pelley for insubordination. Pelley says he was defending the integrity of the show's journalism after three top executives and two reporters were fired.

Media control? More like media tyranny. Free speech be damned. The real fight is for truth, not propaganda. Let the facts speak for themselves, regardless of ideology.
