Top executives at CBS News have banned staffers from using the word “transgender” when reporting on Nashville shooter — despite the fact police have said Audrey Hale was transgender and cited it as a key point in the case, The Post has learned.
“The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News,” the network’s executives insisted in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Post. “As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit.”
The CBS News directive was delivered on a Tuesday morning editorial call by Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, the executive vice president of newsgathering; and Claudia Milne, the senior vice president of standards and practices, according to sources close to the Tiffany Network.
“Right now we advise saying: POLICE IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT AS A 28-YEAR-OLD AUDREY HALE, WHO THEY SHOT AND KILLED AT THE SCENE,” the Tuesday memo said. “And move on to focus on other important points of the investigation, community and solutions.
Sources said Ciprian-Matthews and Milne spent 15 minutes on the Tuesday call discussing the directive — bewildering many journalists, given that the Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Hale was transgender and that her identity may be relevant to the motive.
“This is absurd because the police identified Hale as transgender,” a CBS insider said. “If the cops didn’t address it, maybe you could avoid it but withholding information is not journalism.”

Trans was that girls entire world focus, other than killing Christians.
😒
The NY Post had on its front cover “Transgender .....”. Inside stories did not hide that fact.
I will continue to get the Post as long as it continues to practice journalism.
CBS = Fake Stream News = They Are Activists and NOT Journalists
Yep! Leave it to these leftist media to want to hide the truth from the public because it doesn’t fit their narrative and agenda.
They haven’t been journalists ever since obomination was elected!
“”“Right now we advise saying: POLICE IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT AS A 28-YEAR-OLD AUDREY HALE””
Now THAT is a stupid statement. What’s “a” 28 year old Audrey Hale?
Twisting themselves into pretzels not knowing HOW to say what IT was!
Sort of funny that CBS is now deadnaming the shooter because they are afraid to offend the transcrazies.
“it has no known relevance to the crime”
Apparently THIS is why the manifesto is being hidden. So the creeps in the so-called “news” media can hide the connection.
Typical communist tactic. Project your sins on the victim. That’s what criminals do too. It was a terrorist attack against a Christian school. Expect more church burnings and vandalism.
So from now on none of their stories will include gender of the alleged perp? DOUBT IT!
So glad we’re only one day from the end of National Whatever-Gender Month.
CBS hasn’t practiced journalism since the 1960s.
This is coming from the same New York Post that refuses to identify a criminal suspect by race if the suspect is black.
And this is why people need to start considering leaving the United States in Droves. Because the government owned media is lying to us, They lie, the feds lie, the WH lies, Congress lies. We can’t stop them. The best thing to do is to leave. Take all our money out of the system and leave by the millions.
Just say “Deranged Cross Dresser Who Thinks He Is A Girl”
This is coming from the same New York Post that refuses to identify a criminal suspect by race if the suspect is black.
*********
Most MSM use the term “teen” regardless of the perp’s actual biological age. As in, “Group of teens rampaged and looted Macy’s.” I seriously doubt they have ID’s and accurate ages of all the people involved, but somehow they are magically “teens.”
Someone asked a journalist why he could make fun of Christians but not Muslims. He said, “because Christians won’t kill you.” The same thing applies with “trans.”
The shooter in Nashville was a man, a perverted male.
Everyone knows his real name is “Billi Bob Redneck” Maga supporter, white racist from Alabama and sleeps with his guns and sisters and his cousins that he really does not know are his half-sisters. c /Sarcasm
It was a girl that thought she was a man...
