Network television news can t survive long-term in its current form, according to CBS
60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, who says news broadcasting has suffered a long-term crisis that has at times shredded its credibility.
According to the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer, the public s trust in traditional media is at an all-time low. Stahl believes doubts about the news media s credibility existed before the presidency of Donald J. Trump but were deepened during his term in office.
Speaking on camera on the sidelines of an American News Women s Club roast in her honor, Stahl said she has been an impartial reporter even as the lines between reporting and opinion began to blur more than two decades ago.
