This Hollywood Reporter piece is headlined, “CBS Shareholders Accuse ’60 Minutes’ of Anti-Semitism,” but CBS seems to be yawning about it. The Israel lobby group CAMERA, traditionally effective at moving mainstream media, has led a campaign against CBS since it aired this piece a year ago by Bob Simon, “Christians of the Holy Land,” in which Simon publicized the Kairos document against the occupation and made the unforgivable error of confronting Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren over the fact that he’d called CBS execs to try and block his story (dialogue below).

CBS isn’t budging. Notice that it’s responded to CAMERA’s endless letters with a four-sentence pro-forma get-lost note. CAMERA says CBS is “stonewalling like Nixon,” but who cares about CAMERA? The watchdogs have become pesky yap dogs, says Pamela Olson, who passed this along. From the Reporter:

Another member of CAMERA, general counsel Edward Schwartz, also complained to CBS shareholders, executives and board members of inaccuracies in the segment that he said are so egregious, they could be interpreted as anti-Semitic… Schwartz complained that CAMERA has “repeatedly” pointed out the mistakes in the piece to [CBS board chairman Jeff] Fager but that he and CBS board members are “stonewalling.” “We anticipated that factual errors denigrating the state of Israel would be corrected and the record set straight,” Schwartz said. “Instead, the detailed letter sent to Jeff Fager enumerating errors in the Bob Simon segment that we shared with this board a year ago received a totally un-serious, four-sentence reply that did not address even one of the factual errors cited.” Each of the CAMERA representatives spoke twice, and Moonves responded that he was standing by the 60 Minutes segment. CBS general counsel Louis Briskman spoke of 60 Minutes being the “crown jewel” of CBS News, and he said that the show’s “First Amendment rights should not be chilled.”
