The CBS newsroom had an “huge internal concern” on its hands this week over a report from two anonymous sources about alleged injuries suffered by the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week.
According to leaked emails viewed by The Guardian, there was significant concern among some CBS News staffers and producers. Some aired their worries about publishing claims from such thin sources, especially given the high political tension surrounding Good’s death.
