An internal memo obtained by the Post revealed that the executives cautioned against mentioning the shooter&#8217;s gender identity, which they said had not been confirmed. According to the memo, &#8220;we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: 400\">The internal memo was reportedly issued by Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, the vice president of newsgathering at CBS News, and Claudia Milne, the senior vice president of standards and practices, on the day after the shooting. It instructed CBS staff members to focus on other aspects of the investigation and to only describe the perpetrator as a 28-year-old who was shot and killed by the police at the scene.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sources within CBS have criticised the directive, stating that the decision to withhold information on the shooter&#8217;s gender identity was not journalistic, and that the facts of the case should not be ignored or hidden from the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: 400\">While CBS avoided mentioning the perpetrator&#8217;s transgender identity, NBC News acknowledged it in an article titled &#8220;Fear pervades Tennessee\u2019s trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter\u2019s gender identity.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The shooter&#8217;s manifesto has not yet been released by the police, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An internal memo shows CBS News executives cautioning their staffers not to mention the transgender identity of the Nashville shooter who murdered three nine-year-old children and three adults on Monday at a private Christian school, according to a report from the New York Post.
