Who Knew? {{ LOL }}

I would have thought the regular DEI unit could have handled it.

{{ Late last week, a group of CBS News employees approached executives with their concerns about Mr. Dokoupil’s handling of the interview, according to two people with knowledge of the events, who requested anonymity to share internal discussions

(https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/business/media/coates-dokoupil-cbs-mornings.html#after-story-ad-2)

Mr. Dokoupil met for an hour with members of the CBS News standards and practices team and the in-house Race and Culture Unit, which advises on “context, tone and intention” of news programming. The conversation focused on Mr. Dokoupil’s tone of voice, phrasing and body language during his interview with Mr. Coates, one of the people said.

Mr. Dokoupil, who joined CBS News in 2016 and became a morning anchor in 2019, is a rising star at the network who recently took on an extra hour on “CBS Mornings.” He is continuing to appear on the air. }}

Seems the story is behind a paywall.

Seems to me, anyone who gripes about “body language” in an interview, has never seen Sean Hannity talking to (shouting down) a guest he doesn’t like.
