The head of CBS News’ standards and practices unit — who presided over some of the network’s recent controversial, woke reporting — is out as new boss Bari Weiss looks to bring more balance to the left-leaning network.
Claudia Milne, who ran the division responsible for the moral, ethical and legal implications of CBS programming, is the first senior executive to leave the network since Weiss arrived as editor in chief earlier this month.
Although Milne’s job had been “slowly phased out,” a CBS source called her departure “significant.”
“She was part of the woke mob at CBS News. It shows an editorial shift in how CBS will operate,” the person said, speculating that “this is Bari’s first scalp.”
“We live in complicated times. For our company, for our industry and for our country. And it’s times like this that what we do matters most,” Milne said Thursday in a farewell note to colleagues, which was first reported by Variety. “I believe our role as journalists is to hold the powerful to account.”
Milne, who oversaw her unit since 2021, played a pivotal role in a host of eyebrow-raising decisions. Those ranged from coverage of the transgender Nashville, Tenn., shooter and spiking an Elon Musk interview to the network’s recent reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict, among other issues.

Let the Muppets and Sock Puppets heads roll.
not woke enough apparently.
Scalp? The NYT and their violent words.
I noticed that too. It can’t actually be that Weiss is actually making foundational changes at CBS due to its utter failure. It can’t even be that wokeness is bad business.
No, everything has to be looked at by the progressives at the NY Times as an ideological war and promoted as such underhandedly while being disguised as “good journalism”.
This was written by the New York Post, not the New York Times.
I remember reading propaganda like this in the past about CNN, and how CNN would come back to the center. I don’t buy it.
Bari Weiss is married to a woman.
Bias prevails. Weis cancels Cancel Culture. That’s about it
A great start!
Thank you for correcting that comment.
It is worth noting that there is no guarantee about the who of reporters that will be employed at an outlet like the NY Post and looking at this reporter it looks like they first started out at Reuters.
Hopefully all media will stop editorializing in the news some day.
It would be nice if reporters like this simply were honest and said “these are my reasons for weaponizing the news” instead of leaving all of us to surmise the reasons why they seek political gains in their written word.
Perhaps someone like Elon Musk may be interested in buying it.
>>”.. looking at this reporter it looks like they first started out at Reuters.”
Not surprising.
It is propaganda but not of the type you are thinking.
Larry Ellison is turning CBS into ZBS.
Good catch.
Is there a difference?
