Leaked Emails Show Concern' in CBS Newsroom Over ICE Agent Internal Bleeding' Exclusive: Report
"It would be helpful to ask what type of treatment he received. I'm no doctor, but internal bleeding is a very broad term and can range in severity."
"A bruise is internal bleeding. But it can also be something serious. We do know that the ICE agent walked away from the incident we have that on camera."
"the report was viewed as a thinly-veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who'd carry it online."
"Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin's justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources."
Internal emails show extensive debate within the CBS newsroom over whether to publish anonymously sourced claims that ICE agent Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding after shooting Renee Nicole Good. The claim, attributed to two U.S. officials, prompted skepticism over thin sourcing and the political implications of amplifying an unverified medical allegation. A medical producer urged clarification about treatment and severity. CBS News senior vice-president noted that internal bleeding can range from a bruise to something serious and that footage shows the agent walking away. Some staffers viewed the claim as a possible anonymous leak intended to justify the shooting and to protect source access. CBS defended its editorial process while several other outlets echoed the reporting and Fox News cited the Department of Homeland Security.
