A bombshell lawsuit claims that CBS’ “60 Minutes” has long been a cesspool of sex harassment — including allegations that star correspondent Lesley Stahl once asked a female job applicant whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories.”
Alexandra Poolos, who worked as a producer for more than 10 years at the prestigious TV news program before she was fired in February last year, filed suit against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, alleging rampant “misogyny” at the Tiffany Network.
Among her explosive claims: In 2011, Poolos was interviewed for a job at “60 Minutes” by Stahl, who allegedly inquired whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories,” according to the lawsuit. The suit didn’t elaborate on the allegation.

You don’t look behind the door unless you’ve hid there yourself.
I bet Leslie didn’t get too many stories...................
Did Leslie Stahl then remind her that if she did she could sue the person who gave her the story for sexual misconduct?
Leslie was 85 back then, how old is she now?
Why is it OK to use the mind but not the body?
So, she was fine with this for the 10+ years she was employed at the show.
Then she got fired. And got all sorts of outraged and sued?
Am I reading this correctly?
Well, you are supposed to be hired for this job for your skills. It’s not Playboy.
photos?
Leslie wasn’t the only one....https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.cKkLg8_FJ464kL3q-gz5nwHaDo%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=e5d2c6825bf0962f5a529823c7d26f89b2902fa0fd0fada0b827fff4ac86a8d5&ipo=images
Skills? What “skills” do the MSM reports have?
In rare cases, their bodies.
She kept that arrow in her quiver in case she ever needed it.
Not a bad personal policy.
Leslie is such an old hag she never got anything
“Lesley Stahl once asked a female job applicant whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories.”
This sounds like one those questions veterans ask to see how determined a journalist would be to get a story. I doubt she meant it literally.
I was wondering if anyone was going to bring up Lara Logan on this thread. She was raped and beaten trying to get a story in Egypt. What does Lesley Stahl think of that?
