CBS News’ new DEI consultant may need to take some racial sensitivity training of his own.
Network brass reportedly tapped Dr. Donald Grant — who dubs himself a “mental health expert DEI strategist and trauma trainer”— to quell internal turmoil after they declared an interview between morning show host Tony Dokoupil and author Ta-Nehisi Coates was not up to its “editorial standards.”of the classic Harriet Beecher Stowe novel about slavery “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” — featuring the face of Donald Trump-supporting South Carolina Sen.
A source close to the situation called the move by CBS News “idiotic” and pointed to the irony that the Tiffany Network would hire someone who is “insanely racist.”“The disgusting rhetoric above is EXACTLY what’s in store for us if we allow the Radical and Intolerant left to win,” Scott wrote. “We will still hold people accountable. But we will do so objectively, which means checking our biases and opinions at the door,” Roark said, according to the outlets. “We are here to report news without fear or favor.”The strong criticism did not sit well with several Dokoupil’s backers, including CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford.
Dokoupil asked Coates why he didn’t include more pro-Israel voices or note in his work that “little kids blown to bits” in Palestinian terrorist attacks.“Is it because you just don’t believe that Israel, in any condition, has a right to exist?” Dokoupil asked.
