The Wall Street Journal reports that CBS News chief Wendy McMahon is considering an 'editorial review' of the network's fairness in its own reporting following newsroom turmoil.
CBS News President Wendy McMahon is reportedly weighing an 'editorial review' of fairness in the network's journalism following newsroom turmoil over 'CBS Mornings' star Tony Dopoukil's testy exchange with anti-Israel author Ta-Nehisi Coates. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that CBS News 'is considering an editorial review to further address issues of fairness in reporting,' which would be 'at McMahon's direction.
'The content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist,' Dokoupil told Coates, asking him 'Why leave out so much' and 'What is it that so particularly offends you about the existence of a Jewish state that is a Jewish safe place?' What transpired was a spirited conversation between Dokoupil and Coates that, despite its intensity, never boiled over on-air. The same, however, cannot be said inside the network, according to various reports.
