Scott Pelley Reportedly Rages At NY Post Page Six Reporter: 'You Wouldn't Last Ten Seconds At CBS'

Scott Pelley Reportedly Rages At Page Six Reporter

The New York Post's Page Six reportedly received quite the phone call on Tuesday night.

Apparently the gossip section was working on a story about Scott Pelley's alleged reaction to John Miller's big State Department scoop, when the "CBS Evening News" anchor gave Page Six a call. The usually mild-mannered journalist was quite displeased with the allegation and provided the Post reporter with quite the colorful response:

Pelley called Page Six last night to vehemently deny he had a meltdown — then promptly went into a meltdown. He roared, 'That allegation is false. How long have you been a journalist? You wouldn’t last ten seconds at CBS News. This is not how reporters do their job. You called my publicist but not me in my office?'

Pelley recently accepted a journalism award named for broadcast executive Fred Friendly from Quinnipiac University.
