My gosh, I like this guy. He has a 1950/60s desk news anchor vibe to him that makes me want to give him my full attention as he speaks. And he’s correct on everything he said. Wow, great interview. 👏
we could believe everything Walter Cronkite ever told us.
you never met Ted Baxter.
Exactly. I used to watch him all the time when he had the CBS Evening News and I never noticed him be partisan once. He was great.
He’s also really buff, which cracked me up because I had no idea even after watching him for years. He did a profile on Hugh Jackman for 60 Minutes back in 2013/2014 and they worked out together and he made Hugh Jackman look small.
His voice is so soothing. Everything he said is great. But it’s also accompanied by a voice that makes me feel so safe.
Ikr? I've watched plenty of the segments on 60 Minutes. He's the best.
He talks that way for a living. Just part of the phony package. Boo!
You're so right emma
Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, when newsmen spoke to you instead of yelled at you.
He does have a great voice.
Correct. Information is the commodity. Take the responsibility to find the truth.
Or, here's a crazy idea, don't buy bullshit.
Reality is truth. The truth needs to be recognised. Denial of truth is denial of reality, is deliberate insanity.
There's no cure for deliberate insanity. That's reality.
Choosing ignorance is a choice to be insane.
It ought to disqualify you from driving, voting, and breeding.
Carl Bailey: It always pisses me off whenever a conservative complains about an alleged Liberal bias in college campuses, just because the majority of people at those campuses are smart enough to reject the conservative position (whatever it may be that week) on their own. To put your own point in a different way: When you choose to reject objective reality in favor of a fantastical fever-dream of a lie, objective reality automatically becomes biased against you and your self-imposed delusions.
The mainstream media are NOT in it to INFORM the audience. They want to sell ads (pleasing the advertisers, the MIC in the U.S., the pharma industry, big oil etc.). They want to keep "access" to the powerful and top politicians. They mislead and manipulate.
Not to forget media in the U.S. and in the important (developed) countries has been undermined by the CIA for DECADES. (Operation Mockingbird).
SCOTT PELLEY!
YOU'RE TRUE GENTLEMAN!
ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH SIR!
WE NEED YOU!!!
Scott - what a class act. Stephen and Scott ooze class and cleverness. Where have all the journalism’s Jedi gone?
To the dark side
Ted Baxter was a class act.
read chomsky. there were never any jedi. they all serve the corporation and they always have.
He is correct. It all starts there. Misinformation. Always check sources. ALWAYS!
But the TV news is the worst as far as "making sure their stories match", because they literally report on each other's reporting. There are some exceptions (MSNBC makes a very clear disclaimer anytime they can't independently verify), but for the most part I only trust a select few print publications to have done due diligence. (And I do mean a select few... NY Times, Wall St Journal...)
Learning how to critically check sources and be willing to change your mind is a skill that needs to be learned. Most people simply don't know how to check their "facts".
True. You stay classy San Diego.
MSM has a slant too. I used to scoff at people getting their news from CZcams, but now that's where I get my news from b cause MSM wasn't making any sense. Please do think critically and take in alternative news sources-- not just Fox, MSNBC, ABC or CBS. You will learn more about people who are not like you and you become more aware. I'm not a Trump fan, but he was right about fake news. His election was arguably the biggest shock of my life, but I have been on an over two year journey and had I known what I know now, I would've called it months before. I'm not buying this guy's book. I already know what his angle is. I've consumed that news most of my life and it is just a sliver of truth. Jimmy Dore, Niko (MCSC), Kyle Kulinski, Rational National, The Humanist Report and so many more.

It’s the lies in this administration that get me so angry. Glad Pelly brought this topic up.
In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.
Or confirmation bias. There is a ton of misinformation out there, and people like to find stuff that already aligns with their beliefs rather it's true, helpful, or not.
Dude...I have to use that line on my uncle
@@sprybug many people definitely do this, but it's not all about reading news that aligns with their opinion. For me, it's come down to a lack of respect and trust of a lot of right-leaning news sources. I've tried reading right-leaning newspapers and I'm just shocked at the layman's language it uses and the childish bashing of left-wing politicians. It prevents me from respecting news sources like that, and so I choose to not take in their news anymore.
The responsibility of news doesn't always come down to the reader. Mainstream news sources need to do a better job at their own alignment.
Yes, I agree and valid point. I also agree one should credit a person when directly quoting them. This is from Donny Miller, not John Ulicky.
In any age, education is the most important thing and that isn’t always a choice. Don’t be ignorant if you’re someone who had that opportunity.
Nice to see journalism is still live and well in some places still. He's 100% right though. If we keep believing Facebook and Twitter without fact checking.... We're just screwed... However, there's there's no reason we need to be!
Not just Facebook and Twitter...it's very interesting that he didn't mention CNN when he was giving a list of trusted news sources one can rely on for journalistic reporting
Not just Twitter and Facebook, but any sources with sensationalized headlines or overly-opinionated reporting like Huffpo and Breitbart are two good examples.
Love Pelley's smart, silent humour :)
Same :)
I love that his first thought was “who’s Anthony Weiner?” He has his priorities right.
Agreed. Best band in television!! One of the best parts of watching the show!
Absolutely right. B.S. is king right now.. Donnie's just it's mascot.
upovote * 1000 if I could
But you want it. Who else to blame for shitty life choices? USA was a shithole long before Trump. He is a consequence, not the root cause.
JimNS Still don't get it, do you? There is no "they". "They"is all of you.... this is the society you, your brothers and sisters, your parents helped shaping. By either doing or not doing shit. Life choices. Now live with the consequences, shit peddlers!
@@schoppepetzer9267 I don't think the USA is a shithole yet...but we're almost there
@@toddr2265 You haven't been to Alabamastan recently have you?
He made a great point. If I'm on Facebook and it's very obvious someone is trying to spread obvious false information, they are immediately blocked. I hope others will do the same.
Loving the Anthony Weiner shade Scott!!!
The most unfortunate thing is that the people who *need* to hear this message never will 😔
That's because they only watch Fox "news." It's very meaningful that the fox is an esoteric symbol for satan, and in numerology the word "fox" reduces to the number 666. Fox has a big audience, because many people are more than willing to believe lies. And if you want to know WHY that is, I fully explain in my CZcams video "WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE LIES?"
he wasn't kidding, that band is AWESOME
Critical thinking is not prevalent anymore. The emotional response is more important than facts. Instant gratification and knee-jerk reaction more important than truth. Also: Bats aren't blind. #FactsRule
Right wing media is very effective at manipulating people's emotions. They use fear, anger, hate, and outrage to push a pro-Republican agenda and deliberately shut-down critical thinking. Their viewers have been conditioned to expect and even enjoy this type of biased emotional rhetoric.
I'd argue that critical thinking never was prevalent. It was just that people who lacked that ability never got to speak... until now.
@@jessstuart7495 Sorry but outrage is more of Democrat trait. As a Democrat who has many democrat friends we are just as arrogant in mass.
*@Liz G "Critical thinking is not prevalent anymore."* It is no small coincidence that the Republican Party platform (at least on the state level) included "Stop teaching critical thinking skills at the high school level" for many years. I was shocked to read that in their platform, although I guess it makes sense. After all, critical thinking helps people see through the political BS, corporate manipulation, and obfuscation that the Republican Party is all about. With critical thinking skills, people would eventually figure out the party and its "leadership" offer voters absolutely NOTHING beyond division, hatred, ginned up fear, and tribalism. To be fair, the corporate establishment wing of the Democratic Party offers a lot of the same short-sighted and clueless "leadership" within their ranks. I mean Hillary spent half of her time apologizing, or making up excuses and blaming someone else for her horrible political decisions, largely coming from her complete lack of critical thinking skills. She could never see two steps beyond what she promoted to understand the concept of UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. The party's insistence on running the same losing election strategy time and time again (to the point of outright cheating and rigging their primary process to make it happen) demonstrates no critical thinking ability. Joe Biden is the most current demonstration of the party "leadership" banking on their voters having no critical thinking skills, and failing to see "the big picture." Trump won over Hillary because his phony campaign rhetoric REJECTED the centrist, keep the status quo, corporate-friendly agenda, but the Democratic establishment still insists on changing nothing of substance as the only way to win, even after being defeated at all levels of government with that stupid strategy. Fortunately, there are still quite a few people around who do possess critical thinking ability, and they can see through all the neoliberal BS. Hopefully they'll prevent another abysmal party failure by quickly rejecting Wall Street's wet dream going by the name of Joe Biden. ...Or Kamala Harris, or Pete Buttigieg, or Cory Booker, or Amy Klobuchar, et al.
Critical thinking skills are probably higher than they've ever been. The problem is that they've never been very high.
Fact checking takes a lot more effort than visiting your favorite news source and trusting their fact checkers. NEVER visit your favorite news sources and trust their fact checkers. Find primary sources yourself and check multiple, reliable, and especially disagreeing sources.
Sadan, I don't trust Any of them.
Problem is its times consuming. Especially with the amount of news rapidly hitting us. That’s how they get away with it
Scott Pelley... You're a great journalist and a true patriot!!!
I love Scott Pelley- greatest anchor!
What a bold, brilliant man.
Engage your critical thinking skills.
...and to build on what Ryan says, a public service:
How to Think More Critically:
Ask basic questions and know that two things can be true at the same time. The world is complicated. ...
Question the author's assumptions... and identify your own.
Be aware of your beliefs. Why do you want to believe this is true?.
Try reversing the argument.
Evaluate the evidence.
Think for yourself (instead of agreeing so someone else will accept you).
Understand That No One Thinks Critically 100% of the Time.
How to evaluate information sources - ask yourself and quickly search to find out:
- Who is the author?
- Is the author objective or do they have an agenda (selling something, getting something from you for their benefit)?
- Is the info specific, sufficiently detailed, and verifiable?
- Is the info-and its conclusions-the most current or is it repeating older, common norms? (e.g. is it an urban myth or faulty research that was already debunked by peer-review in the scientific community?)
- Is the info fully covered in the article or video, addressing all or most questions that a thoughtful reader should have? Have other sources covered it in the same way? Are the same authorities being cited and are these sources adequate and accurate?
I think a more ambitious approach is needed first: "Have critical thinking skills."
How to combat misinformation: *read more.* 🤓🤓🤓If you take in multiple sources, not only do you get more truth through the bias, you start to see which bias each source tends to lean.
Read Fox News, then read the Huffington Post, then split the difference.
I used to think only the left was telling the truth. Now I know better. Both sides are representing the 1%. I prefer Media that allow comments. The comment section can sometimes connect the dots, especially if the journalist is biased in some way.
The problem is that many people simply look for "facts" that they WANT to find, rather than the ACTUAL facts. And almost no one understands the psychology of WHY people are so willing to believe misinformation, which I fully explain in my CZcams video "WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE LIES?"
I have to say, due to a news source's *own* bias, I am not inclined to want to take in their opinion. For example, I would never watch Fox News but I'll watch CNN. Why? Because I don't respect the news that is coming out of many right-leaning news sources.
I think I speak for a lot of people on this; It's as much about choosing to not read what we *don't respect* or *don't trust* as it is about just wanting to read what we will agree with.
Is that confirmation bias, or am I allowed to not read news sources that spew a bull crap take on the issue and that I know I largely won't agree with?
The truth always lies somewhere in the middle, pun intended.
I will miss seeing you on 60 Minutes, you have bought so much professional journalism to our screens over the many years thank you Mr Pelley, wishing you everything wonderful in the future. We will miss a true gentleman of intelligence and grace 👍
Very genuine guy.
His Voice. I can listen to it all day lol.
Our president fouls all of the air in the newsroom.... :^)
Dick tater in chief is a stinking ass hole that cons everyone that he comes in contsct with. His vileness. As a lowlife is unparralled in our history. And thats saying a lot. Trumpturd is a symptom of a sick degenerate. Society that doesn t value people their families or healthcare. They worship filth like trump and his sick family criminal enterprise. And of c ourse. Wealth not values. Real values.
The air foulers are the puppets and puppet masters putting on the show in the newsroom.
He has the right idea but I’ve found we need to go half a step further: don’t center your perspective on US ‘brands’ - hear what they have to say but recognize they are locked into false narratives created in the 1970s, 80s and before. Make sure to read how other countries cover the USA to get more perspective
Absolutely! My go-to "trusted name brand"? The Guardian.
used to watch al jazeera till they pulled it as far as I know. also, still american but intercept.com
The truth will eventually burn thru the B.S. God bless
And Truth worth listening.
This applies throughout the Western World, not just the USA 🇺🇸
Indeed, but especially in the US. That's crystal clear when you compare the two last presidential elections in France and the US: Putin and his trolls tried all they could to weigh on the French presidential election, but they had absolutely no impact, since people in France (as Europe in general - except the UK, see below) are better educated, more critically thinking and - esp. - examine *primary sources* .
Same thing happened in Germany and The Netherlands, where Putin & co tried, in vain, to weigh on the last legislative elections.
Now, it _is_ true that Putin & co had some impact in the UK around the Brexit referendum.
Why are Anglo-saxon people more manipulable? Is it due to lack of education and/or laziness? What else could it be?

What a lovely, intelligent man. Wonderful interview.
Inspiring words from a wonderful gentleman 🙏🏻
He puts his glasses in his mouth to see what he’s saying. 🤔
dafttool
I thought that’s what Eye teeth were fot😳
Stephen. Always the perfect and witty host
You must be some intern of this show licking up to your boss. Yuck!
' DEMOCRACY NOW ' !!
People like Scott Pelley invokes the spirits and memories of Walter Cronkite. You can feel the absolute dedication to professionalism. Keep up the good work
Walter was the most trusted man in America..great person..miss him very much!
Thank you so much. I have commented probably dozens of times that information is the lifeblood of a democracy. I believe it should be illegal to lie in an official capacity. Just like we can't lie on official forms, officials shall not lie to the public.
This guy is dead on. He and are about the same age, and we've seen it all.
Thumbs up for him acknowledging just information and how it is really a huge issue that we aren't talking about the right way.
"Are they _flavored_ glasses?"
Well, I don't know about _that,_ but they _are_ quite tasteful. 👌
For a moment i thought, Stephen was going to taste them 😅😋
Sorry I missed this in May 2019. Scott Pelley is smart and classy! Got his book and it's #goodreads
Love Scott Pelley! A national treasure.
The best way these days to get away with doing bad or stupid things is to attack the people who are reporting your behavior.
Question authority ,think for yourself!
Wonderful person! Scott is too! 😆
0:17 Haven't even watched the rest but seeing this guy strut on stage like a boss - already a fan.
Good information! It’s important to check other sources for news.
Love how Stephen enjoys his glasses affectation at 8:34.
You need more guest like Scott Pelley! Really! Need to have him on more! Bet he has a lot a great stories to REALLY tell! And you should let him!
Scott indeed is a wise man. And Stay Human _is_ the best band on tv right now.
I didn’t realize how much I love Scott Pelley until I saw his 60 minutes segment on the insurrection.
I’ve love this been watching him on 60 minutes for years. Differently, someone to trust with the news.
WELL SAID
My vision changes around my birthday by a day or five every year!
“America is great and strong enough that it can only be destroyed from within” LSSC
I believe it is incumbent upon us to educate our youth about misinformation and how to fact check in this age of social media and instant access to information.
The youth know how to fact check, it’s the over 40 crowd who don’t understand they need to fact check.
Great interview
Just graduated with a degree in journalism. wrote a few papers about disinformation and obviously the Trump era of this country was a staple in history of what disinformation and misinformation can do. I’ve been a fan of 60 minutes and Scott Pelley since high school. it’s beyond me how i missed this interview and i am incredibly happy a news giant like him spoke out about this turning point in information media
great to see Scotty
Scott Pelley is the Man
Indeed, this is the best band in Television, although I love the Roots. Scott Pelley is one of the best news anchors of all the time.
Pelley did a wonderful job of explaining what my government and civics teachers taught me in public schools- read two (differently slanted papers most days after 11 th B'day) views on most really hot political issues; watched from "newspapers" as Gov. Ronald Reagan developed the "line item veto" to stop only the parts of legislation and it would require 2/3 of both houses to pass over his veto- by the way this info on RR was out there when he was governor, there was no internet, and we still elected St.Ronnie to POTUShood!
Scott Pelley for President!
So true so true
word up
Best band. Best audience. This guy knows his stuff.
Rest in peace Scott Pelley I can't believe we lost you in a car accident we will always remember you God bless and Godspeed
Carmen Schuler waiting for us to fact check?
He's still alive and well.
Very dignified and wise person. And he has a sense of humour :)
Scott very good!
As a non-TV news watcher, I can now say I missed out on this class act of a journalist.
HE IS SPEAKING FACTS. wow. maybe is should start watching colbert more. Im glad bts guested on this day because I got to hear something very important in this digital age.
That's why I love 💙 this guy Scott Pelley 👍😃👌
I only heard the audio and thought Stephen was talking to Bob Barker 🤔
Don't mind me, I'm just practising taking off my glasses.
I'm skeptical about any news source these days. Political and corporate disinformation is rampant
Right? He's saying we, the audience, should check multiple news outlets to see if the story checks out on more than one. Problem with that is that most of them piggyback each other's sources. One station has a source, the next station says, "CBS has a source...".
There is so little due diligence in reporting now, and the internet makes it worse (flooded with articles and soundbites containing uncorroborated info).
You should ALWAYS be skeptical of any news source, even if you trust it.
But you should also be wary of conspiracy theorists. Any clown can take to Facebook or Twitter and spread BS. The traditional news outlets may have corporate interests but those are not always monolithic and at least they have some vetting processes. It helps to get your news from many different sources, including some reputable foreign/international outlets and then use critical thinking to put all these different pieces together, to form a bigger picture.
It can be a hassle but if somebody is too lazy to do so, that person is part of the problem.
Om Eyehead
After several years of pause in informing myself in depth of American politics (I currently live in Europe), I had to determine which American news outlets I could now trust. I then systematically examined primary sources and compared them to the related accounts in different news outlets. That exercise allowed me to clearly assess which news outlets are steadily reliable, which are irregularly reliable and which are outright false.
Such exercise throughout the US would cut short of any misinformation.
In order to carry out the exercise, you need to learn to consult primary sources - which means that you need to learn:
- What a primary source is. I've encountered numerous Americans who think that media is a primary source, incl. when reporting on a primary source...
- Where to obtain and how to correctly identify primary sources. To those seeking to obtain a specific primary source, ask me and I'll do what I can to help you.
- How to understand primary sources. American education needs drastic improvement so that Americans are able to decipher primary sources.
Scotts laughter tho, like woah
Ok Fine, I'll say it! Scott Pelley is ZADDDY!!!😍😍😍
This was a good one
Classy and humble... At least he doesn't berate the staff which actually make the program go on.
4:00 : Colbert started it all (seemingly) with his 2005 "The Word: Truthiness" segment. Visionary. Also, super scary!
This was a delightful interview. I personally (not living in the USA) only know him from segments where other people show his clips (John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Mr. Colbert, Trevor, Seth....).
lol it's like he's rolling on ecstasy, "This is the greatest chair ever."
He looks like an older version of Neil Patrick Harris. And, both of them are awesome.
Scott reminds me of my Finishing School Instructor LOL
That perfect couch camoflage lol
Dan Rather said it once that the objective of the news and media is to "Tittilate" as with Journalism, the curiosity to hear all sides and arguments and come to an intelligent and informed decision as to what the truth is. This is what Scott Pelley is alluding to. Truth over Biasness or believing only what suits our beliefs without an open mind.
His Ukraine interviews are something truly extraordinary.
It’s the flair🤣
They really are the best band in television tho
There are major ramifications for not doing exactly what there told to do or having an opinion that's not on point with the writers of the checks.
Wow,, one minute was enough of this guy
0:50 Senior version of Barney Stinson
His voice is like velvet creme liqueur spilling down my ear, pouring onto my soul.
"Ya see what ya wanna see, and ya hear what ya wanna hear"..."a point in every direction is no point at all" ...me and my arrow story...
It's all well and good to say that we need to examine the information that comes our way _skeptically,_ but there's _so much of it,_ and examining it skeptically _takes time;_ a commodity that, unavoidably, exists in limited supply. So how do we tell, right off the bat, which information to examine, and which to discard?
This guy is cool!
2:33 Pelley's laugh doe
I want this man to narrate my life
