Here's how Bari Weiss's Free Press covered the story at the time: "How Is CBS Marking October 7? By Admonishing Tony Dokoupil":
So Dokoupil asked... “Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it? Why leave out that Israel deals with terror groups that want to eliminate it? Why not detail anything of the first and second intifada. . . the cafe bombings, the bus bombings, the little kids blown to bits?”
In other words, Tony Dokoupil did his job.
That’s when his troubles began. One might think that respectfully challenging a source that presents misinformation or a picture so limited that it obscures the truth is what journalism’s all about. That’s exactly what CBS does in the aftermath of school shootings or when covering bans on critical race theory in local school districts.
But on this subject—or perhaps it’s this particular author—honesty and integrity are now an unforgivable act of editorial malpractice. At least that is what CBS News is telling its own staff when it comes to Dokoupil’s interview of Coates on September 30....

Weiss should fire the anti-semites and malcontents who bitched and moaned about legitimate questions asked by Dokoupil or observations made about Tahiti-Coati. No one should be above accountability, especially that asshole.
Dokoupil's ex wife and two kids live in Israel. We have not heard the end of this.
He is currently married to Katy Tur, so there shouldn't be any ideological disagreement.
Its the Ellison effect. The tables are turned. So the last shall be first, and the first last, and etc.
The left objects when their tactics are used against them.
The fun part of this is it is two lefties who are interested in tribal politics and spoils fighting against each other.
Leftists like TNC are such delicate flowers that they cannot stand to have their stupid ideas challenged and of course the leftists in residence defended the idiot not the newsman asking serious questions. They basically did the meme: "You can't do journalism in here! This is a newsroom!"
Funny how they claim the mantle of intellectual but cannot intelligently defend the premises upon which they build their reputations
I'm not interested in leftie infighting. Whoever it is on top when it matters (read: in an election year) will be there to spray the leftie propaganda like a dairy farm honey wagon...
wiess is a jewish-supremacist. That's why ellison hired her. Look for lots of Pro-Israeli CBS stories, and antisemitism being discovered everywhere.
Of course, Jesus and St. Paul were jews 2000 years ago, so its ok for CBS to be an arm of the Israeli Government.

Expect Murdoch/Fox News to be right there with her. That means instapundit and powerline.
“its ok for CBS to be an arm of the Israeli Government.”
Asking Coates to defend his position makes Weiss and CBS an “arm of the Israeli government”? That’s quite the chip on your shoulder you have there.
Weird. I think I was pro -Israel since 1967, and I didnt even meet a jew (that I knew of) till 1983.

If you don't want to be accused of antisemitism, how about meeting them half way and stop being so antisemitic?
Damn, whatever happened to media names like Harry Reasoner and Howard K. Smith?

Anti gun ownership, pro-CRT, still celebrated as a "centrist" by conservatives.
Sims and anti-depressant ragers entertaining abortive ideation.
Critical Diversity Theory (i.e. class-disordered ideologies), too.
You don't need a gun when a scalpel or lighter will do as an affordable and available mainstream alternative to relieve a "burden" individually or in multiplicity.
Dokoupil will turn out to be left of left-center. Being married to Katy Tur is a tell.
Lets ask Katy Turd's "dad" what HIS opinion is,

Could you do me a favor and tell me what was anti-Semitic about his post? Sometimes I miss things.

Bari Weiss can just read your posts RCOCEAN to find obvious anti-semitism.
That hatred inside you must make you a miserable bitch.
Everyone is a supremacist in their own mind. Some are rabid Diversitists and just can't hide it.
Very rare for any mainstream newsie to challenge a Black Grifter. Or a white progressive Grifter
So sorry for him, then, because hes as close to sane as we're likely to get
Jews are Palestinians, too, as a legacy of Islamic imperial progress past, and Israelis in the wake of Hamasidol ambitions present.
Coates thinks hes james baldwin snorfle
Israel and Palestinians are equal on the victim sweepstakes, so nobody's winning that one.
Israel might point out that it behaves honorably and Judaism is the basis of Western morality and Christianity for that matter, and Islam is crap. They'd win that one.
So, apart from the Middle East coverage, no real changes at CBS News?
So, somebody asked that fraud a question that wasn't a slow-pitch meatball, and that's waaaayyy out of bounds, eh?
A basic intellectual challenge of that circular-argument jackass was long overdue.
When does Margaret Brennan get dumped from Face the Nation? CBS Sunday Morning should be enough Lefty masturbation material for one morning.
Bari Weiss is building just another Lefty News outfit with slightly more integrity than the rest. And who knows how long that will even last?

True.
But it doesn't answer why we should take money from Americans and give it to Israel.
Not remotely on par the nakbah was invented to equal the holocaust (which the late david pryce jones was very popular with bedouin intellectuals amd common folk
Yes i know about deir yassin and shatila (the last was an intramural blood letting)
But fundamentally coates hates western civilization

Why, you might even discover antisemitism in these very comments...

Agree.
If Bari Weiss tried to hire a couple of true conservatives in the premier spots, she would be told (from above) that would destroy CBS News?
Dokoupil will turn out to be left of left-center. Being married to Katy Tur is a tell.
Well, yeah. Guess who else is "left of left-center"--Bari Weiss.
While it is certainly a step in the right direction that a somewhat "honest" leftie is now in charge at CBS, I'm not expecting that the editorial direction will mirror The Heritage Society.

Where is it?
Seriously you people are just awful. Hopefully you start just shutting up with this passive aggressive bullshit. People are tired of it.
Why should we take money from Americans and give it to Israel? Why should we bomb Israel's enemies?
I have no problem with Israel turning Gaza into a parking lot.
Why should we pay for it?
Zionists never debate or defend their position. Only smear and call names. Their low IQs wont allow anything else.
You sound like a bitter, angry old man RC.
What happened? Did the Jews steal your joy?
I have a vague recollection of this story. Weiss is doing to CBS what Trump 47 is doing to the deep state, putting in charge people who were assailed by it.
When did Althouse.blogspot become a refuge for Jew haters? Can’t they find a nice safe place on X to vent?
All controversialists on the subject of Israel should read "Israel:a history" by Martin Gilbert. Its not very long, well written and doesn't plod along. Quick 2-day or 1 week read. Absorb the facts before indulging in rage bait.
“Bari Weiss is building just another Lefty News outfit with slightly more integrity than the rest. And who knows how long that will even last”
The thing is, I think that it is going to work. The old CBS News had backed itself into an economic corner. It was mostly irrelevant, because it was so dogmatically leftist, and the market for that was shrinking, and the shrinking pie was ever more fiercely being fought over. And the fighting over it was forcing the combatants ever further to the left, into a smaller and smaller corner. An ever more irrelevant corner with an electorate moving towards the right, or at least against the left.
President Trump, and his people, are more and more calling out MSM reporters and the like the lying scum that they are. Shouldn’t the President treat young somewhat cure reporterettes with some respect? Nope! They get the respect that they deserve. And half the country applauds, 20% are appalled, or even apoplectic, and the other 30% are unconscious, oblivious, or just don’t know enough English to understand what is going on. And that’s the 20% that Thats fighting over the corner.
Weiss and now Dokoupil, plus Rogan, etc, are seen byTrump, and at least some on the right, as honest liberals. You can talk to them, and they aren’t going to twist what you said, edit the heck out of their recorded videos, into a dishonest attack. Much of our news is generated by the actions of the Trump Administration, and Weiss, Dokoupil, Rogan, etc, are increasingly the ones getting the real interviews, while the more traditional leftist MSM are derided and just laughed at as the lying POS that they are. Fighting over the 20%, and shrinking, corner is no way to make money.
Good, I didn't like the two anchor format. Was like they couldn't decide on which one to pick.
What does Bari Weiss think about Ireland for the Irish, I wonder quietly to myself.
The Left supports Hamas because they want to be the same as Hamas. They just can't get away with it, yet. A large amount of political effort in the US is spent trying to at least slow the Left's movement toward behaving just like Hamas.
An example of CBS moving maybe towards the middle, here is a short video of @bariweiss interviewing Erika Kirk about her husband’s murder. Ask yourself, who in the old CBS News would or could have done that interview?
