It was bad enough that professional woke author Ta-Nehisi Coates chose to go all in on antisemitism and Islamic terrorism with his new book of essays ‘The Message’ (which I reviewed today), but Random House, an ex-Nazi corporation that publishes all of his screeds, chose to release it in time for the Oct 7 anniversary of the Hamas attacks.
Coates had signed a letter after Oct 7 which claimed that, “after sixteen years of siege, Hamas militants broke out of Gaza.”
CBS News then decided to schedule a featured morning interview with Coates to promote his hateful book which makes no mention of Hamas, but does repeatedly attack Israel and Jews, before Oct 7.
Coates denounces Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum, as “a grand narrative of conquered ancestors built by their conquering progeny”.
“This putative ‘Jewish democracy’ is, like its American patron, an expansionist power,” Coates sneers, “and every expansionist power needs a good story to justify its plunder.”
The Jews are guilty of “an enormous con[sic]”, he storms, their history is “a poorly wrought fairy tale[sic]” and a compensation of “violent impotence” for the Holocaust.
Tracked for a release on the anniversary of the Oct 7 genocide, The Message deliberately makes no mention of Hamas, and Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a point of visiting the site of a ‘Rabbi Meir Kahane Park’, but not the sites of any of the Hamas atrocities which he calculatedly looks away from even as he exploits the attention brought by them.
CBS News featuring Coates before Oct 7 is the equivalent of bringing on a Holocaust denier ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day.
It was obscene.
But then one of the hosts, Tony Dokoupil, asked Coates some basic questions that were slightly challenging. And the woke staff and leadership at CBS News demanded Dokoupil’s head. A DEI expert was brought in and a struggle session was led at which Doukopil was forced to apologize for doing his job and not letting Gayle King ask sweetheart questions which she had provided Coates with beforehand.
And CBS News brass were accusing Dokoupil, not King, of violating “journalism standards.”
The whole scandal is now playing out in the media and it’s telling that asking a racist bigot basic questions instead of pandering to him is a ‘scandal’ rather than what one might have called ‘journalism’.
But the real scandal still is that CBS News brought on a terror apologist and then announced a review of a journalist condemned for asking him questions in time for Oct 7.
That is the vile garbage CBS News allowed on their platform..geez again Im glad that Trump refused to go on 60 Minutes
.
CBS=Communist B******T.

I understand. Disgusting how they’re getting away with this.
