CBS was 'bending to the will of Trump' to get Skydance deal done, expert suggests
New York Times reporter James Stewart joins 'MediaBuzz' to discuss Shari Redstone’s concerns over CBS' bias, President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the network and ongoing questions about the company’s future.
CBS News has leaned on content from a climate change group produced by former network staffers.
In recent weeks, CBS News has disclosed in both on-air and online reports its coordination with Climate Central, a nonprofit that calls itself a "policy-neutral" and "independent group of scientists and communicators who research and report the facts about our changing climate and how it affects people’s lives."
CBS News has cited Climate Central research dozens of times since 2021, according to Grabien transcripts. But it wasn't until July that the network began consistently referring to "our partners at Climate Central" on air.
