CBS legal correspondent apologizes, deletes tweet praising town-hall heckler
The Guardian reported that CBS’s chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford apologized and deleted a social-media post praising a man who asked Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about the Muslim Brotherhood after internal criticism. Earlier internal tensions at CBS were highlighted by leaked audio, which Mediaite said showed foreign editor Shayndi Raice admonishing staff over recent story edits, and by The Daily Beast, which noted Raice warned that failure to follow hierarchy could lead to dismissal. Cinemablend added that senior global affairs correspondent Trevor Phillips urged colleagues in the London bureau to confront criticism of editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, underscoring the broader editorial disputes within the network.
