Shari Redstone—controlling shareholder of CBS’s parent company—is unhappy that journalist Tony Dokoupil was scolded for properly interviewing Ta-Nehisi Coates.
MAGAcide. Oh boy, I'll never cease to be amazed at how many liberal craniums the Orange Man to this day, lives rent free in. Like he's the most shallow bully around, and the way they react to him, simply emboldens him. It fuels him, and if it stopped by the rent-free craniums, he's just be another empty suit.
So CBS when interviewing Trump “cant report something it cant verify” per L Stahl but CAN edit a report to produce an answer that wasnt given to a question asked.
Fallout? What fallout? The whole point of the movie Zoolander was that WE the audience knew the whole time that Derrick Zoolander only actually had one look. The mainstream media of alphabet networks, WaPo, NYT, Atlantic, Time all the shells of previous legacy media outlets, the public schools, Hollywood, academia, all of Washington DC, the Democratic Party, the NGO's, nice to have Dick Cheney on board, George Bushes daughters, on and on it's all the same look. The look is their new little Democrat party religion with its ever changing non-sensical pronouncements and requirements.
Look at poor Eric Adams. You could not find a simple negative pronouncement on the guy and then bam......excommunicated. Elon Musk with his electric car was literally one of the most revered figures on the Left until bam......excommunicated. Tulsi Gabbard. RFK. All the anonymous people whose lives have been ruined.
While I like the Free Press better than most, they are fundamentally still pretending that these things that occur in our mass media are "bugs" and not features. If you want to understand things go to City Journal. Go to the Federalist. Read Victor David Hanson. Read Sasha Stone. Read the New York Post. Fundamentally, the Free Press is perpetuating this myth that there is this group of people on the left who are still thinking. I very much doubt that Nellie and Bari will do anything other than vote the Democratic line when their ballots show up because that is their schtick at this point. Play the "mock both sides" thing but then wink, wink you know where we REALLY stand. True satire ala Jonathan Swift or Voltaire puts the satirist at risk. No one writing for the Free Press is at much risk for anything. When it started I was hoping for boldness but this while silliness on both sides is again playing it safe.
Try the Babylon Bee if you want true, hard biting satire.
Unfortunately, the collection of commenters here is probably close to the limit of how many people really care or will remember any of the malfeasance reported—we have an apathetic society who is already on to the next pop culture story. Even the news of hundreds of deaths at the hands of a natural disaster is quickly fading.
True Scott... add to that, the only ones who will call the Press (CBS) out, are non Leftists. Within their media bubble, they all think the same, and more than not agree with the crybabies in the CBS halls.
Developing critical thinking skills is a thing of the past, apparently. It is no longer important to understand both sides of any issue; what's important is informing the world that the other side of an issue is "offensive" to one's self esteem and should be censored.
In short: the transformation from democracy/republic to full-blown idiocracy is nearly complete. New tagline: "The future is a no-brainer."
It's so easy to boycott CBS - turning the whole thing off forever. I can't remember a show worth watching. Same same for ABC. Just turn them off. I'm a baby-boomer and I'm encouraging everyone I know to do the same.
CBS (ABC, NBC, AND CNN) are the first to condemn all the false information found on the internet yet, as their ratings prove, they no longer are the arbiters of truthful reporting.
It's obvious CBS has no journalistic standards. When one of their on air personalities (hard to consider them "journalists"). Can be raked over the coals for his sensible questions yet another personality can discuss their questions in advance of their interview. And receive no push back whatsoever. Proves without a doubt that the legacy of Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace is but a distant memory that has been destroyed by partisan, simple-minded hacks. What a gift of history that they have squandered. Both Walter and Mike have got to be rolling in their graves with disgust.
It is truly sad to see how the DEI crowd and liberals in general have trashed the traditional outlets of journalism by injecting advocacy and bias into everything while pretending to be non-partisan.
The rot of journalistic ethics is being exposed, piece by piece. The result? Blatant manipulations and double standards laid bare, CBS and 60 Minutes ignores this at their peril.
Their “brand” is being degraded with each of these exposures, they need to clean it up or risk being the news outlet that only 30 percent of the country trusts…
Is Coates simply ignorant, or is he an antisemitic bigot?
A rhetorical question obviously. No amount of ignorance can explain what he had said, done, and written.

And they bitch about dis and mis information?
The subtitle suggests something might be said about Redstone's reactions/thoughts/comments about this fiasco. But, no. So why the subtitle?
Coates identical twin is a Coate hanger and it just so happens that his identical twin is the more intelligent of the two.

Coates should pay a steep penance for what he did to Jordan Peterson, for no legitimate reason. He is a poison.

Coates is a run-of-the-mill basic Black racist. Ho hum.

CBS originally stood for the Columbia Broadcasting System. I think I'm beginning to understand the source of the problem.
