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”.)
So I grew up with the CBS evening news from just watching my grandmother watch it on the mod 80s.
It’s actually helped pull me out of becoming a fox news junkie
Just watching the headlines with no commentary has been my routine for 20 years now.
This transition to state TV has pissed me off and I stopped watching
Apparently you’re not the only one. I saw somewhere their evening news viewership numbers are way down.
“Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin’s justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources”
That’s Bari Weiss’s signature move!
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?
firing people at random and hoping the ones with scruples would catch strays?
Is she ICE-trained?
“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.
“There was big internal dissension about the ‘internal bleeding’ report here last night,” the CBS News staffer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said. “It was viewed as a thinly veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who’d carry it online.”
“Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin’s justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources,” said a second network staffer, who was also not authorized to comment.
Freakin hostage video content. SAD!
If anybody in my neck of the woods cared what happened to members of the Gestapo, I failed to notice. I sure as fuck don’t.
I care what happens to them, just not in the way they’d prefer.
I care quite a bit. But, like, in the same way I care about Charlie Kirk’s neck wound.
Yeah, but hey: Chin up, Kirk-fans. At least his lovely widow looks like she’s having fun.
With Vance.
Great job C BS News
Complete BS.
Did they not watch the video?
