I wrote on Thursday about how Van Jones and Lesley Stahl were bemoaning the fact that legacy media seemed to be dying. Jones explained how it was being beaten by independent media and that President-elect Donald Trump was right to realize this, but the Democrats and the “political class” were way off on it, stuck back in the “door knocking” mentality of to try to get votes.

At least Jones got it and realized they needed to make a change. Lesly Stahl, on the other hand, didn’t. She acknowledged to the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan that legacy media was “hobbling” but blamed Trump and didn’t know how they wouldn’t be able to recover.

Lesley Stahl worried sick that the ‘legacy media is dead’:
Lesley Stahl: “I’m extremely worried about the press. I despair. I worry greatly. We’re at the point where if the POTUS is going to say ‘Legacy media is dead’. I’m very dark about it.”

It’s insane that she blames Trump for calling out their failures, rather than admitting there’s a good reason that people don’t trust the legacy media anymore.

During her podcast, Megyn Kelly had a few suggestions for Stahl, since she professed cluelessness as to how they would recover.

“I have a lot of suggestions for you, Lesley,” Kelly offered.

“Should we go over them?” she continued. Then she proceeded to completely wreck Stahl.

“Like maybe don’t say the laptop can’t be verified when it can,” she said, referring to Stahl’s response to the Hunter Biden laptop. How are you a journalist if you don’t want to follow up on that story?

“And then when your own organization verifies it, come out and do a mea culpa and admit you embarrassed yourself.”

“Maybe don’t stealth edit the presidential candidate interview with ’60 Minutes’ — your flagship program that you’re an anchor of — without telling us, and then when it becomes a controversy, refuse to release the transcript because you’re more interested in running cover for the Dems than you are in honest reporting.

“60 Minutes” edited the interview that they did with Kamala Harris, reducing her word salad response. And frankly we don’t know what else they may have edited since they refused to release a transcript or the full video of the interview. Which tends to make you think they might be hiding even more nonsense.

Maybe don’t host a vice-presidential debate where you fact-check only one side. And then when your fact-check gets fact-checked by the vice-presidential candidate on the Republican side, you cut his mic.

Just a few thoughts off the top of my head what you can do about it.

Now, that’s a complete evisceration if ever there was one. That’s reality, and Stahl should listen.

But she won’t because that might actually require putting aside their bias and doing a little self-examination.
