A bombshell lawsuit claims that CBS’ “60 Minutes” has long been a cesspool of sex harassment — including allegations that star correspondent Lesley Stahl once asked a female job applicant whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories.”

Alexandra Poolos, who worked as a producer for more than 10 years at the prestigious TV news program before she was fired in February last year, filed suit against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, alleging rampant “misogyny” at the Tiffany Network.

Among her explosive claims: In 2011, Poolos was interviewed for a job at “60 Minutes” by Stahl, who allegedly inquired whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories,” according to the lawsuit. The suit didn’t elaborate on the allegation.

A man asks a woman if she would be willing to sleep with him if he pays her an exorbitant sum....
She replies affirmatively.
He then names a paltry amount and asks if she would still be willing to sleep with him for the revised fee.
The woman is greatly offended and replies as follows:
She: What kind of woman do you think I am?
He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.

“Using her body” might just be showing a little leg or cleavage.

Stahl used hers by keeping it covered up.

Leslie was 85 back then, how old is she now?

``````````````````````````````````````````

Older than potato head Biden, she’ll be 82 in December and looks every minute of it, despite plastic surgeries.

Apparently the answer was “Yes” since she worked there for 10 years.

CBS in general has had sick people running it forever.
CBS chairman Les Moonves fired for wrecking women’s lives.

Why is nearly 82 year old Stahl even still employeed? What kind of dirt does she have on fellow CBS degenerates?

Ms. Poolos.

Well, I'll say this - Lesley must've asked her because we all know it'd never work for Lesley.
