Showing Original Post only (View all)CBS evening news is not doing well... [View all]
They keep rebranding and have a new lead broadcaster from their morning show, Katy Tur's husband Tony Dokoupil. Nope, he is not cutting it. They have fired people too. CBS rated last behind NBC and ABC.
...After days of negative headlines and tough reviews, Dokoupil got some praise on Wednesday night for pressing border czar Tom Homan on whether immigration agents had used excessive force. The interview made news when Homan seemed to differ from the official Department of Homeland Security line: that the woman killed, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, had intentionally tried to hit the officer with her car. It would be unprofessional to comment on what I think happened in that situation, Homan said, after Dokoupil showed him a video of the incident. Let the investigation play out and hold people accountable based on the investigation.
But that news-making interview was overshadowed soon after, when one of the shows top producers, Javier Guzman, was abruptly terminated, causing confusion on Wednesday night in the networks New York newsroom, where he was spotted with his belongings. The network did not provide an explanation for Guzmans dismissal, which the Guardian first reported, though sources said it stemmed from interpersonal dynamics.

"Interpersonal dynamics" means Javier objected to CBS becoming a Republican party propaganda organ.
