10. I'm not sure what her message is.

CBS News is going to put a huge emphasis on producing scoops, she said.

“Not scoops that expire minutes later. But investigative scoops. And, crucially, scoops of ideas. Scoops of explanation. This is where we can soar — and where we'll be investing," she said.

Scoops of ice cream, too?

"Political friction." What does that mean? Stories that focus more on conflict? For ratings?

"Widen the aperture?" Does that include more liberal/leftist/democratic guests & voices? Or more extreme right wing ones?
