CBS News' Lesley Stahl has been around forever, and it's a little difficult to understand why.
There's the famous interview with Donald Trump from back in 2020 in which Stahl treated the president with utter disdain and scoffed at everything he said, in particular Trump's allegation that his campaign was spied on in 2016, only to have the facts prove Trump out.
Stahl sticks around mostly because she parrots elite-media narratives seemingly from the heart.
One of the usual Stahl 60 Minutes tropes, at least when political interviews come her way, is to attempt to marginalize Republican and conservative figures as freaks, oddballs, bigots, and liars in ways she and her compatriots at CBS News would never do to figures on the left.
The reflex would be to call it a mistake to go on 60 Minutes' air and allow Stahl and her producers to cut up an interview for maximum partisan effect.
So there is nothing Lesley Stahl can do to her that would materially affect her career in a substantive way.
CBS edited out an exchange over Ukraine, in which MTG questioned whether we should fund the Ukrainian war effort without limits and Stahl responded by questioning her commitment to American national interests.
