CBS News staff in uproar after host challenges guest's anti-Israel views, network leadership responds

CBS News is in turmoil after an internal staff meeting addressed the concerns surrounding an interview featuring Ta-Nehisi Coates on Israel's "right to exist."

Last week, "CBS Mornings" anchor Tony Dokoupil grilled Coates, an author and journalist, on an anti-Israel portion in his new book, "The Message," which describes his travels "to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground," the book summary reads.

Dokoupil brought up this section of the book, telling Coates bluntly that it read like something you would find in "the backpack of an extremist."
