“How long until Leslie Stahl gets the ax?”
Not soon enough brother....that’s for sure.
60 Minutes was a unique and riveting platform for many years.
I will never forgive the late Mike Wallace for taunting the late SS Agent Clint Hill in an interview from the 80’s I think.
Hill was the only SS Agent to respond to the JFK assassination by protecting Mrs. Kennedy but it was too late.
Wallace toyed with Hill during the interview with a faux sympathetic set of questions which was not fair to Hill, who was trying to wean himself from an Alcohol addiction. He was a broken man by the time Wallace got to him. Wallace pretended to empathize will Hill who was very uncomfortable during the interview.
That was along time ago and the classic CBS staff that ran 60 Minutes, over time lost their honest, journalistic mission as they became a prized commodity.
This program became political and stale with veterans like Stahl who felt they were untouchable. These veterans think they can go on forever no matter what the content.
Finally, there are shakeups at CBS and it is time to revamp the system and get rid of the old, stale bread that has been sitting on the CBS kitchen table for 50 years!
