‘If you fall silent, the country is doomed': CBS News' Scott Pelley stresses courage as network faces pressure campaign
A climate of fear is perceptible in the United States today, and it must be resisted no matter what, CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley says. 'People are silencing themselves for fear that the government will retaliate against them, and that's not the America that we all love,' Pelley told Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview after CNN's Saturday telecast of 'Good Night, and Good Luck.' The Broadway play, which recounts CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow's unflinching 1954 broadcasts about Sen. Joseph McCarthy's Cold War witch hunts, has stirred comparisons between McCarthyism and Trumpism, and between the CBS network then and now. Fear and courage 'are the two themes that run through both of these moments in American history,' Pelley told CNN's Cooper. 'The most important thing is to have the courage to speak, to not let fear permeate the country so that everyone suddenly becomes silent,' the former 'CBS Evening News' anchor added. 'If you have the courage to speak, we are saved. If you fall silent, the country is doomed.' Cooper asked Pelley, a nearly 40-year veteran of CBS: 'Do you still believe in journalism? Do you still believe in the role of journalists?' 'It is the only thing that's gonna save the country,' Pelley responded. 'You cannot have democracy without journalism. It can't be done.' Cooper, who also works alongside Pelley as a correspondent on '60 Minutes,' anchored a discussion about the state of journalism after the Broadway telecast Saturday night. One inescapable topic was President Donald Trump's pressure campaign against CBS News. Trump filed a legally dubious lawsuit against CBS over a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris last fall. CBS News journalists and executives have sought to fight the suit and its allegations of 'election interference.' But lawyers at CBS parent Paramount Global have been trying to strike a settlement with Trump, perhaps believing that such a deal will help secure the Trump administration's approval of Paramount's pending deal to merge with Skydance Media. The settlement could look like a payoff in exchange for government approval and would spark an outcry from CBS News journalists. At '60 Minutes,' 'everyone thinks this lawsuit is an act of extortion, everyone,' a network correspondent recently told CNN. When Cooper asked Pelley what Murrow would think of the state of play at CBS, Pelley said that 'he would probably be waiting to see how this lawsuit from the president works out and how the Paramount Corporation deals.' Murrow, he said, 'would be for fighting,' not settling. A settlement would be 'very damaging to CBS, to Paramount, to the reputation of those companies,' Pelley added. 'I think many of the law firms that made deals with the White House are at this very moment regretting it. That doesn't look like their finest hour.' When asked about the April resignation of '60 Minutes' executive producer Bill Owens, Pelley repeated what he told viewers — that Owens felt that he no longer had 'the independence that honest journalism requires.' At the time, the correspondents talked about leaving with him, but Lesley Stahl recently told The New Yorker that Owens 'explicitly asked us not to resign.' Pelley told Cooper that, on the one hand, 'you really wish the company was behind you 100%, right?' On the other hand, 'my work is getting on the air.' Paramount bosses have not killed any '60 Minutes' segments, even though the newsmagazine has aggressively covered the Trump administration. 'While I would like to have that public backing,' Pelley said, 'maybe the more important thing is the work is still getting on the air.' Pelley caused a stir with a commencement address at Wake Forest University last month. Many conservative media outlets said Pelley ripped Trump, though he never mentioned the president by name. 'Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power,' Pelley said in the speech. 'First, make the truth seekers live in fear. Sue the journalists. For nothing.' Pelley also talked in the speech about the Trump administration's actions against major law firms and warned that people in power 'can rewrite history.' 'With grotesque, false narratives, they can make heroes criminals and criminals heroes,' Pelley said. 'And they 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. This is an old playbook, my friends.' In the sit-down with Cooper, Pelley said he thought he was echoing the sentiments of Murrow in the 1950s, 'that freedom of speech is what matters in this country.' 'You can agree with the government. You can disagree with the government. But you have the right to speak no matter what your opinion is. If the government begins to punish our citizens because of what they have to say, then our country's gone terribly wrong.' As for the furor over his commencement speech, Pelley remarked, 'what does it say about our country when there's hysteria about a speech that's about freedom of speech?'

WrestleMania 42 location: WWE event returns to Las Vegas for second straight year
WrestleMania 42 location: WWE event returns to Las Vegas for second straight year Show Caption Hide Caption WrestleMania 41: John Cena makes history, highlights star-studded WWE weekend John Cena makes history in his heavyweight match against Cody Rhodes, Paul Heyman was the x-factor in the triple threat match, and more surprises from WrestleMania41. WrestleMania is headed back to Sin City. WWE will hold WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium for the second consecutive year, the company announced. It will be held April 18-19, with WrestleMania weekend events like SmackDown, the Hall of Fame Ceremony, NXT Stand and Deliver, and Raw After WrestleMania also taking place in the city. Wrestling's grandest event returns to Las Vegas after WrestleMania 41 took place there this year on April 19-20. This will be the second time in WWE history that WrestleMania will take place at the same venue in back-to-back years. The first instance was in 1988 and 1989 when WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V was held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The announcement comes weeks after WWE decided to move the host city for the 2026 edition of the event. In February, The Rock revealed during an episode of SmackDown that WrestleMania 42 would take place at the Caesars Superdome April 11-12. However, that changed three months later. In a joint statement with TKO Group Holdings, Inc., owner of WWE, The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation said WrestleMania 42 wouldn't take place in Louisiana, and instead the city would get the event in the future and New Orleans would get Money in the Bank 2026. No reason was given for why WWE changed plans. Why did WWE choose Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42? WWE did not specify why it opted to run it back in the same arena, but the idea of bringing WrestleMania back to Las Vegas was likely too enticing to pass up. Not long after the news about the location being moved, reported Las Vegas was the leading contender to host. While it wasn't an ideal decision for most fans since WrestleMania just took place there and the show has traditionally gone around the U.S., it made sense why the move was made. WrestleMania 42 was a major success for WWE with the largest gate for any event in its history and more than 124,000 fans for both nights. The event also broke merchandise, sponsorship and hospitality experiences records. WWE also was granted upwards of $4.24 million in tax credits for having the event in the city, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal. Plus, it can't be forgotten TKO Group Holdings Inc., owner of WWE, also owns UFC, which essentially lives in Las Vegas. Ownership's familiarity with the location and how to maximize profits from it is an easy move. The Las Vegas Strip was the ideal place to hold multiple events within close proximity of each other, rather than having to jump from different parts of the city. Mix in the fact the city is a top tourist destination, fans will definitely takeover, generating millions for Las Vegas. WrestleMania 41 was too big of a success to not try again. WrestleMania Las Vegas history With WrestleMania returning to Allegiant Stadium, it will be the third time the event takes place in Las Vegas. Besides WrestleMania 41 in 2025, the first time it happened in the city was in 1993 when WrestleMania 9 took place at Caesar's Palace. It was a notable event since it was the first time WWE held the event outdoors. For most the early years, WrestleMania was held in arenas, but it has taken place in stadiums since WrestleMania 23 in 2007 – with the exception of WrestleMania 36 due to COVID-19. This will mark the third WWE event Allegiant Stadium has hosted in its short history. SummerSlam 2021 took place at the indoor stadium and was the first professional wrestling event to happen there. The attendance of that event was 51,326. While it hasn't been confirmed, T-Mobile Arena is likely to host the shows part of the weekend. SmackDown, NXT Stand and Deliver and Raw After WrestleMania took place at the arena, and the Hall of Fame ceremony was at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel. WrestleMania 41 was headlined as John Cena's final one as 2025 is his final year of in-ring competition. He beat Cody Rhodes in the main event to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship and become a record 17-time champion.
