Former "Late Show" host David Letterman strongly criticized CBS News in a recent podcast. He said the news division is now a "wreck" and blamed its leaders, whom he called "idiots."
Letterman argued that these executives have destroyed the network's integrity. He did not name specific individuals or provide further details.
The comments were made on the "Strike Force Five" podcast. This podcast features Letterman and other late-night hosts. They created it to support their staffs during the Hollywood writers' strike.
CBS News has not yet publicly responded to Letterman's statements.
