Feb 7, 2014: Huffington Post: Rush Limbaugh: Women On 'CBS This Morning' Are 'Stupid,' 'Ignorant,' 'Wrong
The radio show host directly attacked CBS' Gayle King, Nora O'Donnell and "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl Friday for their discussion on "CBS This Morning" about Stahl's report on the ways in which medications affect men and women differently. Limbaugh said he was shocked to hear television hosts talk so "ignorantly" about the male and female bodies. Feb 7, 2014: Rush Limbaugh: Lesley Stahl Shocker: Men and Women are Different!
Let me go to the Lesley Stahl sound bites. We'll start at number three here. This is a little review. How long ago was it TIME Magazine actually ran a cover story: Shocking News: Men and women are actually born different! Now, that's 20 years ago, 18 years ago. 
ON THE RECORD: Jan 10, 2014: The Center for American Progress affiliated attack group “Forecast the Facts” has launched an attack on the CBS News magazine “60 Minutes” for reporting truthfully on the issues surrounding green technology. Lesley Stahl reported that despite billions invested by the U.S. government in so-called “Cleantech” energy, Washington and Silicon Valley have little to show for it. Moe Lane (Red State) summarizes it best: "Executive summary of the video: We gave billions and billions of taxpayer dollars to Silicon Valley venture capitalists so that they could develop trendy ‘green’ technologies: the ROI on that was awful, the venture capitalists largely cashed out, and various elements of Chinese state-sponsored ‘businesses’ have now swooped in to buy up the companies* (and the research data that those companies managed to produce). So you can see why CAP is freaking out and demanding a Public Editor for 60 Minutes; people get very cranky when you call their religious dogma into question." Whether or not Green jobs or Global warming is legit or not, it has now become all the about the money. NOT unusual for research institutions and businesses that are funded by the government.

Jan 18, 1999: Peter Bogdanovich (New York Observer): Mike Wallace Asks Leslie Stahl About Her Sex Life … The TV Education of TV Executive Garth Ancier …
Mike Wallace, Howard Stern–what’s the difference? There is none. Not really. Not anymore. Everybody confesses everything now, and no topic is out of bounds when the camera light goes on. On the night of Jan. 6, 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl paid a visit to Diane Sawyer on ABC’s 20/20 to plug her new book, Reporting Live . Ms. Stahl more or less told Ms. Sawyer that her devotion to big-time TV journalism made her a rotten wife and mother. Ms. Sawyer mentioned that she once saw Ms. Stahl crying on the phone in the White House press room. And on and on, la-di-da, anything to promote a book, right? The conversation eventually turned to Ms. Stahl’s husband, Urban Cowboy screenwriter Aaron Latham, and how depressed he was for, oh, about three years in the 80′s. Ms. Stahl was telling Ms Sawyer about how her colleague Mike Wallace set her straight, instructing her to make sure that she got some help for her husband. At this point in the 20/20 interview, Ms. Sawyer and Ms. Stahl visited Mr. Wallace in his office over at CBS.

An honors graduate of Wheaton College who majored in History, Stahl began her television broadcasting career at Boston's original Channel 5, WHDH-TV as a producer and on-air reporter. She joined CBS News in 1972, and became a correspondent in 1974. "I was born on my 30th birthday," Stahl would later write about the experience. "Everything up till then was prenatal." Stahl credits her CBS News hire to the Federal Communication Commission's 1972 inclusion of women in its affirmation action mandate: "the television networks were scouring the country for women and blacks with any news experience at all. A friend in New York had called to tell me about a memo floating around CBS News mandating that 'the next reporter we hire will be a woman.'" According to Stahl, Connie Chung and Bernard Shaw were "the two other 'affirmative action babies' in what became known as the Class of '72." Stahl's prominence grew after she covered the Watergate affair. She went on to become White House correspondent during the presidencies of Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. At the Republican Convention of 1980, she broke the news on CBS that Reagan's negotiations with ex-President Ford had broken down and the answer to the question of who would be vice-presidential nominee was: "It's Bush! Yes, it's Bush!" George H. W. Bush had been standing perhaps not far away, largely off by himself, looking discouraged because he was sure he wasn't going to be chosen.
Stahl was the moderator of Face the Nation between September 1983 and May 1991. In addition, from 2002–2004, she hosted 48 Hours Investigates. In 2002, Stahl made headlines when Al Gore appeared on 60 Minutes and revealed for the first time that he would not run for president again in 2004. When Katie Couric was hired, CBS News asked Stahl to reduce her salary by $500,000 to accommodate Couric's salary, bringing her salary down to $1.8 million. In October 2007, Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, stood up and walked away from an interview with Stahl, because she asked him about his relationship with his soon-to-be estranged spouse. In 1998, she appeared in an episode of Frasier, playing herself in the episode "Desperately Seeking Closure".
Stahl has written one book, Reporting Live, which was published in 1999. She received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Colgate University in 2008 and a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Loyola College in Maryland in 2008. Lesley Stahl is one of the founding members, along with Liz Smith, Mary Wells Lawrence, and Joni Evans, of wowOwow.com, a website for women to talk about culture, politics, and gossip. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Stahl is on the Board of Selectors of Jefferson Awards for Public Service
