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.
pretty much the only people watching the 3-4 letter boomer “news” networks is retirees, people who grew up before the internet existed…who have all pretty much only known manufactured consent programming their entire lives
