Part 6/10:
According to insiders, CBS has laid off around 2,000 staff members this week, with some of the cuts made within the "race and culture" unit—a move the outlet's critics frame as a step away from everything "woke." Proponents argue these layoffs reflect a return to merit-based hiring rather than tokenism. Allegations have arisen that these moves are racially motivated; however, data indicates that the layoffs are performance-based, with both white and minority employees affected equally.
