By now, we know how woke liberal networks are and how they race-bait viewers. But did you know they have a particular unit to make sure “every story” touches on race and culture?
A former CBS employee is blowing the lid off the network’s Race and Culture Unit, which reportedly has to vet and approve show scripts to ensure they won’t offend specific viewers.
“CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil found himself in trouble after asking questions not approved by the network’s Race and Culture unit. He raised concerns about a particular topic and decided to poke at it. However, he failed to send a draft of the show’s script to an email chain with members of the Race and Culture Unit before doing so, which he said is “required.”
The unit was formed during the summer of 2020 amid the George Floyd riots to determine whether the “tone, content, and intention of any segment or package are suitable for the network’s air.”
Earlier this month, Fox News reported that Dokoupil violated the network during an interview with author Ta-Nehisi Coates about the ongoings between Israel and Palestine.

Dokoupil sparked an internal uproar earlier this month when he interviewed author Ta-Nehisi Coates about his book, "The Message," which delved into his travels to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Dokoupil told Coates his heavily anti-Israel book – which has been criticized for omitting significant context about Palestinian terrorism and the Jewish state's extraordinary security situation – read like something you would find in "the backpack of an extremist." Dokoupil, who is Jewish, also pushed him on whether he believes Israel has the right to exist.
Puck reporter Dylan Byers pointed out that the issue has been a fast-metastasizing, five-alarm s--show" for CBS News. However, the issue is polarizing among other employees.
“The unit, led by Alvin Patrick, determined that while Dokoupil’s questions and intentions were acceptable, his tone was not," Byers wrote. "Meanwhile, the network’s Standards and Practices division, led by Claudia Milne, determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process wherein questions are run through Race and Culture and Standards and Practices."
