In a shocking turn of events, CBS staffers are allegedly up in arms against their own anchor, Norah O’Donnell, following a controversial tweet that has sent ripples through the newsroom, Your Content has learned.
O’Donnell’s tweet claimed that the FBI did not have possession of Donald Trump’s passports after the Mar-a-Lago raid. However, it was later revealed that the passports were, in fact, taken by the FBI.
Sources from within CBS reveal that the staff is deeply upset over O’Donnell’s alleged violation of the outlet’s strict ‘two-source’ policy, raising questions about the integrity of the reporting. To add to the turmoil, the network’s ratings continue to plummet, with fierce competition from rivals ABC and NBC.
While CBS has defended O’Donnell, citing information from DOJ sources, the controversy has left the anchor’s reputation hanging in the balance. Some speculate that this tweet was a desperate attempt to regain viewership amidst the declining ratings.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump himself weighed in on the situation, stating that his passports were finally returned to him after the raid on his Florida home. He expressed his disapproval of the seizure and the FBI’s actions during the raid.
As the dust settles, CBS finds itself grappling with internal dissent and a credibility crisis. Only time will tell how the network navigates through this challenging period, according to FLIPBOARD.
