Shari Redstone, the media mogul whose Paramount empire controls CBS News, criticized the network’s leadership on Wednesday for its decision to reprimand a star morning show anchor over his handling of an on-air interview with the writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.
“They made a mistake here,” Ms. Redstone said during an appearance in Midtown Manhattan, adding, “I think we all agree that this was not handled correctly.”
Her remarks have added to the turmoil that has swirled inside CBS News in recent days, especially after top executives rebuked the anchor, Tony Dokoupil, on a newsroom-wide call on Monday, saying his interview had fallen short of editorial standards.
