She added that the situation has been addressed, and it will continue to be in the future.

This is about preserving the legacy of neutrality and objectivity that is CBS News, she added.

Puck first reported on the internal call.
Theinterview last weekgrew tense at times, as Dokoupil challenged Coates premise and views.
Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it?
said Dokoupil, who was joined by co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burleson.
And is it because you just dont believe that Israel in any condition has a right to exist?
Coates answered, There is no shortage of that perspective in American media.
Thats the first thing I would say.
There is nothing that offends me about the idea of a Jewish state.
I am offended by the idea of states built on ethno-cracy no matter where they are, he replied.
Muslim included, Dokoupil said.
We must still ask tough questions.
We will still hold people accountable.
Thats part of our job too.
But we will do so objectively.
That means we have to check our bias and opinions at the door.
He added that you cant separate those two at a certain point.
A more balanced account.
Roark said on the call that she would meet withCBS Morningsstaffers on Tuesday.
