Lesley Stahl, a correspondent for CBS News' '60 Minutes', reportedly would not leave the show despite a recent report suggesting she considered quitting following a disagreement with Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. Sources informed The Post that Stahl is dedicated to the program and is described as 'addicted to the limelight'. The situation arose when Weiss and her deputy, Charles Forelle, took a more active role in editing Stahl's segment on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, leading to speculation about Stahl's future on the show. CBS News has labeled the report as 'ludicrous', asserting that Stahl's segment underwent a thorough editorial process. Insiders indicated that Stahl, who recently signed a two-year contract with CBS News, is not planning to leave the show. The tensions at CBS News have been heightened by previous firings under Weiss's leadership, which some correspondents felt introduced bias into their reports. The dynamics between Weiss and the veteran correspondents, including Stahl, have been under scrutiny as they navigate their roles within the network. The Post reached out for comments from both Stahl and CBS News.
