The remaining three correspondents at “60 Minutes” huddled this week to discuss their futures following the firing of Scott Pelley, according to a report, as former star Steve Kroft warned that the iconic newsmagazine “no longer exists” in the form viewers have known for decades.
Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl and Jon Wertheim met on Wednesday for more than an hour amid growing turmoil at CBS News following Pelley’s ouster and the sweeping shakeup orchestrated by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, the Status newsletter reported on Thursday.
The meeting came just hours after The Post reported that CBS insiders believed Whitaker and Stahl could be the next high-profile departures from the program.
“I think Bill is next,” one source close to the network told The Post.
“Lesley is keeping quiet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she left,” the source added.
Another insider told The Post: “Lesley and Bill will be behind him,” referring to Pelley.
Kroft, who recently told podcaster Bill O’Reilly that he “hated” working at “60 Minutes” due to its lack of “civility” and it being a “snake pit,” also questioned whether the program would be able to maintain its identity when it returns in the fall.

“It seems almost impossible for me to imagine what kind of a show they can put on in September,” he [Kroft] said."

Oh I dunno.......maybe an HONEST one?

Learn to code.
Well don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, Leslie. The quicker, the better.
Yup.....she is a particularly nasty piece of work.
If President Trump had a fraction of a percent to do with this good for him.
60 minutes went on for 59 minutes too long.
Even after pelly gets shit canned these people think the show cant run without them.
The level of arrogance and ego to think that is stunning.
Leslie Stahl: 84
Here's an idea: RETIRE already, and give someone else a shot.
Should have already occurred. They have inflated egos, they should have resigned long ago, they are awful and part of the problem.
Perhaps one without a leftist agenda and one that shows BOTH sides without an overt leftist bias?
That was my comment!
Hadda look up Stahl’s age...I remember her from the early ‘80s!
She should be doing Geritol ads...
Lesley Stahl is 84. EIGHTY-FOUR!
I stopped watching 60 Minutes when I left for college in 1976. Gone 50 years without it. Pretty sure I can live the rest of my life without hearing someone 15 years older than me attacking everything I’ve believed in and how I live...
That’s a reflection of the totalitarian mindset.
Never have watched it.
60 minutes?
i havent watched in a while
are mike and morley still around?
Kind of, Leslie Stahl is carrying the show for them.
I remember the ambush tactics with Mike Wallace. Good water cooler talk on Mondays.
And Andy Rooney.
When propagandists realize they won’t be able to propagandize anymore!
