Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is taking a major swipe at Scott Pelley, saying the fired "60 Minutes" correspondent is totally detached from reality.
Carr ripped Scott in a social media post, calling him out for criticizing the new CBS leadership and his dismissal from the popular newsmagazine show.
One of the reasons why trust in media is so low is because many legacy journalists are completely out of touch.
You could not get away with that behavior at any run of the mill job. It is revealing to see how blind some are to that.
@BrendanCarrFCC

In his X post, the FCC bigwig references the NYT interview, branding Scott's statements as "completely out of touch." He says Scott's behavior would not be tolerated at any run of the mill job.
Scott Pelley is opening up about his dramatic exit from CBS News ... and he’s not holding back on the emotion, comparing his firing from "60 Minutes" to his spouse being murdered.

"Tiger King" star Doc Antle is celebrating a huge legal win ... after Virginia's Supreme Court threw out all of his remaining convictions stemming from his lion cub purchases.
Antle had been convicted on charges tied to buying lion cubs from a Virginia zoo owner in 2018 and 2019. But Virginia's highest court ruled the law prosecutors used never actually made it illegal to purchase the animals.
The justices found the statute banned the sale of endangered species -- not the purchase of them -- and tossed Antle's convictions and the indictments behind them.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, there was a hearing today as part of Nicole Olivera's restraining order petition against Huda ... but it looks like Nicole and Huda failed to appear.
As a result, the judge dissolved all the temporary restraining orders and dismissed the case for lack of prosecution.
Nicole dated and has a child with Louis, the Netflix reality star who recently broke up with Huda. Prior to Huda and Louis' split, Nicole asked the court to order Huda not to come near her or her home.

Karamo Brown says he can finally speak freely about feeling used over the infamous and controversial "Queer Eye" traffic-stop prank ... but some are calling BS on his new explanation of events.
Here's the deal ... in the first season of the reboot in 2018, the guys were pulled over by a cop in the South ... they were all clearly freaked out, but it turned out the officer was a part of the show. At the time, KB said he wanted to be in the driver's seat and even though he got scared, he was more than grateful for the dialogue it started.
Flash forward to this week ... Karamo told PEOPLE producers forced him to drive that day because they wanted to see the look of pure fear on a Black man's face while being pulled over in the South ... and he wasn't actually grateful for any of it.
