Did Lesley Stahl Consider Quitting ‘60 Minutes’ Over Bari Weiss’ Edits to Her Piece on Israeli Settlers? CBS News Calls Report a ‘Twisted, Ludicrous Narrative’

Veteran reporter Lesley Stahl privately considered quitting 60 Minutes following a conflict with Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. The dispute centered on Weiss's hands-on editorial interference regarding a segment on militant Israeli settlers violently displacing Palestinians in the West Bank. Insiders claim Weiss has consistently integrated her pro-Trump and pro-Israel politics into CBS News coverage. While reports suggest Stahl nearly resigned over these edits, CBS News has dismissed the claims as a twisted and ludicrous narrative.
