CBS
News' Scott Pelley condemned
President Donald Trump and his administration during a commencement
address at Wake Forest University.
Pelley,
a "60 Minutes" correspondent,
spoke to Wake Forest graduates Monday, the same day CBS News President
Wendy McMahon said she was
stepping down amid a Trump lawsuit aimed at the network
over the editing of an interview with then-Vice
President Kamala Harris.
During
his speech, Pelley compared "this moment" in U.S. history to the
Civil War, World War II, and the Civil Rights Movement, and he defended
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
"Why
attack universities? Why attack journalism?" Pelley asked during his speech. "Because ignorance
works for power.
"First,
make the truth-seekers live in fear ... power can rewrite history with
grotesque false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes
criminals. Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe
reality. 'Diversity' is now described as 'illegal.' 'Equity' is
to be shunned. 'Inclusion' is a dirty word."
Pelley
urged the graduates to overcome "fear" and speak up about things
under attack.
"In
this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under
attack," he said. "Journalism is under attack. Universities are
under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack.
"And
insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes, and
into our private thoughts, the fear to speak in America. If our government is,
in Lincoln's phrase, 'Of the people, by the people, for the people,' then why
are we afraid to speak?"
CBS
News owner Paramount currently is trying to settle a lawsuit Trump has filed
against CBS over an October 2024 "60 Minutes" interview with Harris.
McMahon is believed to oppose a settlement.
Last
month, Pelley used the end of a "60 Minutes" episode to
criticize Paramount after the program's executive producer, Bill Owens, resigned
under pressure.
The
board of Paramount Global later outlined
acceptable financial terms for a potential settlement with
Trump on his "60 Minutes" lawsuit, The New
York Times reported.
Shari
Redstone, the board's nonexecutive chair and Paramount's controlling
shareholder, recused herself from the portion of the meeting in which board
members discussed a settlement, one source told Reuters.
