CBS parent company CEO says network leadership made 'mistake' in response to Tony Dokoupil's interview
Fox News
The CEO of CBS News' parent company said leadership made a big mistake reprimanding host Tony Dokoupil for his interview of anti-Israel author Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Dokoupil pressed Coates on his fiercely anti-Israel book, "The Message" and said it read like something you would find in "the backpack of an extremist." Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
The interview prompted backlash from some CBS News staff, who felt Dokoupil pressed Coates too strongly. The network addressed the internal frenzy in a staff meeting Monday, which marked the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre in Israel. CBS leadership reassured offended staff members that following a review, they concluded that the interview did not meet the company’s "editorial standards," the Free Press reported, which obtained audio of the staff meeting, and Dokoupil apologized. Even the network's Race and Culture unit got involved in reviewing the interview.
