“60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl gave a telling toast over Champagne this week to colleagues at the CBS news show.
“My toast was, ‘to us,’ meaning the survivors,” Stahl told The New York Times on Tuesday. “Maybe ‘us’ with a twinge of survivor’s guilt.”
Stahl was moved to pop the cork on a promise from Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison to respect the editorial freedom of “60 Minutes,” according to the newspaper.
But that remains to be seen.
Stahl and fellow stars Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim have told the staff they would remain so “60 Minutes’ doesn’t “die.”
