CBS News is a news organization that broadcasts several programs, including The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, 60 Minutes and Face the Nation.
George Bush Controversy
CBS claimed George W. Bush went AWOL from his National Guard duty during the Vietnam War, but the documents it relied on to make this accusation were later found to be forged.
Notable Anchors and Reporters
In the 1950s Edward R. Murrow worked for CBS News and famously criticized Senator Joseph McCarthy.
In the 1960s, news anchor Walter Cronkite (the "most trusted man in America") publicly opposed U.S. military support for South Vietnam in the Vietnam War. Bernard Redmont, CBS News Moscow and Paris Bureau Chief during the war was a "known Soviet agent." [1]
When Katie Couric became the sole head anchor of the CBS Evening News she became the first woman to solo-anchor on the weekday evening news of the three traditional U.S. broadcast networks (ABC, CBS and NBC).
