CBS journalists need Race and Culture Unit approval for basically every story, former staffer says [Video]

CBS News’ Race and Culture Unit needs to sign off on show scripts that could potentially offend particular viewers, according to a former staffer with knowledge of the process. 

A former CBS employee told Fox News Digital the broadcast network’s Race and Culture Unit vetted “basically every story” that could potentially be considered culturally sensitive. 

The former employee said show producers were “required” to send drafts of show scripts to an email chain with members of the Race and Culture Unit as well as the standards and practices unit and could only proceed if they signed off.

CBS News’ Race and Culture Unit has emerged as a hot-button issue in recent days after a report that “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil found himself in hot water for asking questions that were not cleared by the network’s Race and Culture unit.
