The controversial action of the CBS network is against the prevailing current of support for the Zionist regime in America

According to Isna, the story started after the American website “Free Press” revealed that “Mark Mammoth”, the chief director of standards at “CBS News” late last August, sent a memo via email to the staff of this American news media with He sent the subject “caution about talking or writing about news related to the war in Gaza”.

While the US Congress and the administration of Donald Trump, the former president of this country, had previously recognized Jerusalem as the “capital of Israel”, the manager of this American network asked the employees in this note to go against the policies of the country’s authorities. Do not refer to this city as “part of Israel”, because its status is “disputed”.

“Don’t refer to it as somewhere in Israel,” Mammoth wrote in a memo to CBS News staff.

According to this report, he confirmed that he made this decision knowing the existence of the US embassy in the occupied territories in the city of Quds and Donald Trump’s decision to recognize this city as the “capital of Israel”.

He stated in this note: “But the status of this city is disputed. The situation of the city of Quds is at the heart of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Meanwhile, the occupation regime of Jerusalem claims that it considers this city as its capital “eternal and undivided”.

In 1995, the US Congress recognized this city as the capital of the Zionist regime in the form of a law known as “moving the embassy to Jerusalem”.

“Donald Trump”, the former president of the United States, also officially announced in 2017 that he recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Zionists.

The American media “New York Post” wrote in a report: “Instead of instructing reporters not to mention Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Mammut’s memo asked them not to recognize its location in Israel at all.”

The action of this American news network, which was contrary to the policy of the United States in supporting the Zionist regime, caused controversy in the pro-Zionist American media against this network. These media also reported that the tensions in the network rose after the Jewish host of CBS Mornings, Tony Dukopil, a few days ago, in an interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates, a famous author and journalist, about an anti-Israeli book. Under the name of “Message”, he accused this black writer of “extremism” because of his opposition to this regime.

In the interview, Coates emphasized that the behavior of the Zionist regime towards the Palestinians is disgusting and comparable to the mistreatment of the blacks in Africa by the American colonialists. But “an extremist’s backpack is the perfect place for a Coates book,” Ducopil claimed.

In this book, Coates also considers the actions of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories as an example of apartheid.

The Washington Post reported that CBS News executives later reprimanded Ducoupil for “being too aggressive in questioning Coates.” However, this anchor said in a meeting with CBS employees last Tuesday that he was “regrettable” that with these questions CBS employees, especially reporters sent abroad and in dangerous areas, “have been put in a difficult position.”
