Lesley Stahl Says Journalists Getting Fired Is Worse Than Child Trafficking, Nazi Torture Dungeons
"Oh God, this was awful," Stahl told Puck when asked about the half dozen veteran producers and personalities who were fired along with Scott Pelley, the veteran newsreader and combat survivor dismissed for insubordination. "This was by far the worst experience I’ve been involved in, or even witnessed." The worst experience she’s ever even witnessed. The Puck reporter observed that Stahl's voice "trailed off, as if she was still having trouble processing what had happened during the past week or so." Stahl is 84—even older than Joe Biden.
