During the September 30 interview, Tony Dokoupil faced criticism for comments perceived as racially insensitive. While some praised his tough questioning, others accused him of bias.
Ta-Nehisi Coates defended his book during the interview, stating that he resonates with the Palestinian voice, which he believes often goes unheard in the conflict.
CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon addressed the backlash in a company-wide meeting, emphasizing that Dokoupil's interview did not uphold CBS's standards for neutrality and objectivity.
Despite the outcry, the Race and Culture unit found no fault with Dokoupil's approach, indicating internal divisions on whether his questions were appropriate.
