Some CBS News employees expressed concern after the network cited two anonymous “US officials” on Wednesday to report that the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” after the incident.
Before the original report was published, a medical producer at the network suggested in an email to colleagues that “it would be helpful to ask what type of treatment he received”, and whether the officer received surgery or any other type of procedure.
In another email, an executive expressed skepticism about the broad nature of the medical diagnosis, and what it actually entailed. “I’m no doctor, but internal bleeding is a very broad term and can range in severity,” wrote CBS News senior vice-president David Reiter.
“A bruise is internal bleeding. But it can also be something serious,” Reiter continued. “We do know that the ICE agent walked away from the incident – we have that on camera.” (The network’s story noted that “videos from the scene showed Ross walking away after the incident”.)
If you have any scruples and you’re still working for CBS News or Paramount, you should probably be looking for another job by now.
Didn’t Weiss round up all the people with scruples and fire them already? Or was she just firing people at random and hoping the ones with scruples would catch strays?
“Huge internal concern” made me think there are still people there who have at least some morals.
They’d best get out while they can, or they’ll be stuck with that blight on their resume and wont be able to land a job anywhere but other cray cray conservative outlets like Fox or OANN.
Is she ICE-trained?
I’m pretty sure CBS and Paramount offices are completely devoid of scruples by now. They’re totally scrupeless.
Jon Stewart is still on once a week. And they still allow his podcast. Shocks me honestly.
