CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — who was accused of sidelining white journalists and blocking an acclaimed correspondent’s reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop — is stepping down at the network, the company said Wednesday.
The controversial news boss, who was named president just last August, is exiting after she made headlines in February over the firing of Catherine Herridge, a respected senior investigative reporter who had been doggedly covering the Hunter Biden laptop story for the network.
At the time, media insiders speculated that Herridge’s exit was linked to her reporting that President Biden may have kept evidence that he had foreign business dealings while in office.

I guess you'd have to watch CBS news to even care. And I thought the same thing Poster # 1 said!

DEI is overt racism in practice, and as such it is illegal. Practitioners of DEI are racists who can and should be prosecuted.

Stepping down?
FTA: ''On Wednesday, CBS said Ciprian-Matthews will move to the role of senior adviser for coverage of the 2024 presidential election over the next several months before leaving the company.''
Translation: ''We feeeeel she has the expertise to attack, slam, degrade and of course LIE about Trump from now until the election. You just don't throw talent like that out the window.''

So a quota implemented affirmative quota hires and got caught discriminating against white women (how rare but I guess since white males are no longer around the quotas had to find a new class to discriminate against). Who didn't see this one a coming?

Ah, #1, you beat me to it. Regardless of what the actual words are, when I read a Hyphenated name, what I see is "Karen Moonbat-Katlady".

I turned off all the alphabet soup propaganda channels 20+ years ago. Haven't seen any of their news in that long, don't trust anything they put out, so the fact that she was pumping Dem lies....is normal stuff at SeeBS.
Probably also incompetent and difficult to get along with. That usually will get you fired.

Sounds like a sideways promotion to me. You did good work, but we need a CYA.

Our Administrative State may not throw overly inquisitive reporters off of balconeys as Russia does, but it can achieve similar results of insuring conformity in the ranks.

I don't this is the same female boss who scolded tiny George for telling the truth about Biden in an off-air remark. There are a lot of Hillary-esque enforcers around to protect Biden and push the big lie that he is a "historic" president and will continue to be the greatest.

I miss Catherine's reporting when she was at FNC.
Hope she gets back in the game.
Maybe she got a nice golden parachute after her defenestration by CBS
Which could allow her to have a comfortable early retirement.
Whatever she does, I wish her well.

Most people don't understand how DEI became so popular. It works like this: People who are so wealthy that most of them don't show up on the Forbe's list of billionaires put money into big funds like BlackRock, When they do, they tell the management of the fund, we want you to promote equality through DEI, reduce individual home ownership, and increase the value of things you invest in.
The big institutional fund buys up homes and farmland and rents them out. They go to the big airlines, all of which they have a single-digit percentage in, and say, we think you should cut back frequent flyer programs and raise prices. Price fixing? Not technically. Then they add, and you should put a management bonus program together to increase promotion and hiring of minorities and lifestyle-diverse people. The Board of Directors of each company tells the CEO and CFO to put together a bonus program where a BIG part of the executive bonus is for DEI goals. At the CEO level, they are just trying to do what makes them the most money, and what their big investors and their BoD, most of which are execs with companies being told the same things, want.

Since I discovered I could receive Newsmax TV without extra $$ upgrades, that is the place I hear/watch the news. The copycat news programs are so predictable (3 networks, 1 script).
