New York | The president of America’s CBS News was forced out of her post on Monday (Tuesday AEST), the latest shock wave to hit one of the country’s most prominent television news divisions amid an ongoing showdown involving President Donald Trump, CBS and its parent company, Paramount.

Wendy McMahon, whose full title was president of CBS News and stations, told her staff in a memo that “it’s become clear the company and I do not agree on the path forward”.
