ABC, CBS, and NBC’s Friday evening news broadcasts managed to report on new video that emerged that afternoon of ICE agents telling Renee Nicole Good to get out of her car before being shot by Agent Jonathan Ross after she started to drive at him. ABC’s and NBC’s Saturday editions of Good Morning America and Today also managed to cover the critical detail, which left CBS Saturday Morning’s Ash-Har Quraishi as the odd man out.
Interestingly enough, CBS was also the only Saturday network to cover overnight arrests in Minneapolis. Co-host Adriana Diaz introduced Quraishi by reporting, “Dozens gathered outside of a federal hotel where agents are believed to be staying… Police tell us 30 people were detained, cited, and released. This as CBS News has obtained new cell phone video taken by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent involved in Wednesday’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good. The video shows a new angle of the moments leading up to the incident and her final words.”
Quraishi repeated Diaz’s reporting but wanted to make sure viewers did not get any wrong ideas, “Good morning, Adriana. We’re in downtown Minneapolis, where police say those protesters vandalized property and threw objects at police. Now, earlier frustrated residents marched peacefully at the site where that substitute teacher was killed. Ahead of more planned rallies, Minneapolis police have to work to maintain public safety and growing outrage over the killing.”
