Ta-Nehisi Coates Doesn't Know If He'd Be Strong Enough Not To Participate In October 7 Massacre
Posted • October 10, 2024: CBS is having a horrible, no-good year. Part of that is attributable to CBS interviewer Tony Dokoupil, who created a stir by asking tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates about the situation in Gaza. CBS employees were so upset by the line of questioning that CBS had planned to bring in a DEI strategist and trauma trainer to calm everyone down: CBS News has been roiling after a CBS Mornings interview in which anchor Tony Dokoupil pressed Ta-Nehisi Coates over his pro-Palestinian framing of Israel-Palestine conflict. The interview was celebrated by many—"tense and substantive," per WaPo—but angered some at CBS who felt Dokoupil brought his own bias. CBS News has invited self-described “mental health expert, DEI strategist and trauma trainer” Dr. Donald Grant to moderate conversation on this issue in an all-staff meeting.
The issue was elevated to the network's Race and Culture unit. Meanwhile, the network's Standards and Practices division determined that Dokoupil had not run his questions before Race and Culture before doing the interview. They determined that while his questions were acceptable, his tone was not. Journalists at CBS News now have to run their questions through a racial ideology department before going to air. This is exactly how the old Soviet commissar system worked. Massive corruption. “The Race & Culture unit… determined that while Dokoupil’s questions & intentions were acceptable, his tone was not… The Standards & Practices division… determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process where questions are run through Race & Culture.” https://x.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1844234844618006536
Coates still has a book to promote and landed on Trevor Noah's "What Now?" podcast, where he appears to say that if he were a Palestinian growing up in Gaza, he might not have had the strength not to attack Israel on October 7. Ta-Nehisi Coates says if he was a Palestinian he doesn’t know if he would have been strong enough not to participate in October 7 and go around massacring Jews. Of all the conflicts in the world, ask yourself why he became so passionate about this one. The same reason he wanted to charge $25,000 to do a Zoom talk at my children's high school. He is a woke opportunist. What a garbage human being. (…)
