The staff meeting to discuss Dokounipil’s interview with Ta-Nahesi Coates, which network executives claimed did “not meet editorial standards for impartiality,” was a “.... show,”...

Dokounpil...pressed Coates on his framing of the Israel-Palestine issue in his new book “The Message,”...

Dokounpil’s line of questioning, besides inviting a reprimand from network executives....CBS staffers wondered aloud whether “Israel’s existence as a state should be part of fair conversation”....

Shari Redstone, the controlling shareholder for CBS’ parent company Paramount Global, was reportedly unhappy with how executives handled the situation...

background:

"During the interview, Dokupil pushed back on Coates’ book, which he described as “an effort to topple the whole building” of Israel.

“I have to say when I when I read the book I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards and the acclaim, took the cover off the book, the publishing house goes away, the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist,” Dokoupil remarked.

“I found myself wondering why does Ta-Nehisi Coates, who I’ve known for a long time, read his work for a long time, very talented smart guy, leave out so much? Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it? Why leave out that Israel deals with terror groups that want to eliminate it? Why not detail anything of the first and the second intifada, the cafe bombings, the bus bombings, the little kids blown to bits?” Dokoupil asked..."

From the See to the BS, that place needs to be razed.

Call it a holocaust if you want.

Israel is probably the only issue where there’s a schism in the Democratic Party. Otherwise, they agree on 99% of the issues.

I think the schism is much greater than Israel, it’s those who disagree with the madness of the Radicals at CBS don’t have the balls to speak out against them for fear of losing their jobs and ridiculed by those who they consider friends, for people like this reporter, he probably could not handle losing his job and all his friends so he puts up with the madness.

If you listen to anyone who was formerly a leftwing Radical when they see the light, usually they find themselves all alone and it’s tough for them to realize they really didn’t have friends.

This author and reporter hit on a subject the reporter could not ignore and took issue with his stance, antisemitism is evidently something this reporter couldn’t overlook.

CBS is in its death throes. It has become the voice of evil. It has been taken over by the wicked. It will be tossed on the dust bin of history.

Shari Redstone, the chairwoman and controlling shareholder of CBS parent company Paramount, is Jewish and did NOT like how the diversity people handled it.

Liberals of Jewish heritage in America should take a very long hard look at what their support of the left has done to hurt Jews. Stop being simplistic and realize that Hitler, Marx, and Stalin were all cut from the same cloth.

When Rush was still on the air, I listened to him on a CBS affiliated radio station. Rush would often debunk the Russian collusion hoax. Then just like clockwork CBS news would spread more hoax material at the top of the hour...

Is he “Daily Caller” Tucker Carlson’s cyber rag? Tucker Carlson’s agrees with Coates. The mother Tucker will probably have Coates on as an honored guest alongside Ye and Roger Waters.

SeeBS has zero credibility. Leftists are the enemy of all decent people.

“ during an in-house struggle session ”
————-

I have been out of the corporate world for some time now. Back in the day we would have meetings about our company, our product, and our delivery of those products and services. If anyone brought up their “stress” or “anxiety” about the state of the world….we would either laugh at them or kick them out of the meeting.

And what the heck is a “struggle session?”

The US is living in a Chinese Cultural Revolution world.
