16. There are often "non-disparagement" clauses in employment contracts...

...and even some employee policy manuals where contracts aren't involved. I would assume though, that being fired like this negates any non-compete clause he may have had. What's laughable is the clown that fired him, who has no real background in news, mentions that Pelley saying that is part of the reason for firing him. I won't be watching any CBS News show, or entertainment program.
