"Some CBS News employees expressed concern after the network cited two anonymous US officials on Wednesday to report that the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding to the torso after the incident. CBS initially published the account about officer Jonathan Ross on X, formerly Twitter. About 30 minutes later, the network followed up with another post, containing a link to an article by two correspondents that similarly cited two US officials briefed on his medical condition."
"Before the original report was published, a medical producer at the network suggested in an email to colleagues that it would be helpful to ask what type of treatment he received, and whether the officer received surgery or any other type of procedure. In another email, an executive expressed skepticism about the broad nature of the medical diagnosis, and what it actually entailed."
CBS cited two anonymous US officials saying an ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding to the torso after the incident. The network first posted the account about officer Jonathan Ross on X and then followed up with another post citing officials briefed on his medical condition. The claim drew immediate social media criticism over sourcing and potential political alignment and received limited coverage from other outlets. Internal emails show some CBS staff raised concerns about the broad medical description and urged clarification about treatment, while others viewed internal discussion as routine. Senior executives questioned the term "internal bleeding" and noted footage showing the ICE agent walking away from the scene; the network’s top editor expressed strong interest in the item during an editorial call.
