Lesley Stahl Reveals the Moment CBS Broke '60 Minutes' [View all]

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl has revealed the jarring way CBS leadership fired half a dozen journalists and producers from the legendary news program.

"This was by far the worst experience I've been involved in, or even witnessed," Stahl, 84, told Puck's William D. Cohan in a new interview.

"I mean, firing seven people, including the entire management team over here, plus reporters and producers…" she continued, her voice trailing off.

In her conversation with Cohan, Stahl shed new light on "Black Thursday," when CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss simultaneously fired correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, executive producer Tanya Simon, Simon's deputy Draggan Mihailovich, as well as segment producers Guy Campanile and Matthew Polevoy.
