Lesley Stahl, a veteran CBS News correspondent, reflects on the ongoing troubles facing CBS News due to a $20 billion lawsuit from Donald Trump concerning an edited interview. This situation has led to resignations from key figures like executive producer Bill Owens, indicating significant corporate pressure on journalistic integrity. Stahl voices her gloomy outlook on the future of press credibility, noting a loss of public faith and expressing a sense of mourning over potential compromises to journalistic standards.
I'm already beginning to think about mourning, grieving. I know there's going to be a settlement... and finding out what that new page is going to look like.
Owens's departure was 'a punch in the stomach,' Stahl tells David Remnick... where you almost can't breathe.
