In what has been a tumultuous two weeks for 60 Minutes following a spree of firings, the future of the show’s remaining correspondents, including Lesley Stahl, remains in question.
According to the New York Post, citing CBS News insiders, Stahl may have decided to stick with 60 Minutes despite the ongoing behind-the-scenes drama. The veteran reporter, whose contract has expired, was said to be out shooting footage for the show’s next season.
