CBS Austin reporter brushes off directive to downplay pro-Trump rally after Iran strikes: ‘They don’t want us to focus on this’
NY Post
A CBS Austin reporter was seen on a live Facebook stream appearing to get a directive from a superior to steer away from a pro-Israel, pro-US and pro-Trump protest behind him — and then refusing to go along with the instruction on camera.
Vinny Martorano was outside the Texas Capitol on Saturday covering dueling demonstrations in the wake of US and Israeli strikes on Iran when a crew member handed him a phone with a message from an unnamed boss.
After reading the screen, the reporter asked out loud, “What does that mean?”
An off-screen staffer answered, “It means they don’t want us to focus on this.”
“Well, I am,” Martorano shot back, continuing his coverage.
Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns CBS Austin, insisted Martorano had not been instructed to avoid certain perspectives.

The strikes President Donald Trump launched against Iran Saturday are not just military operations — they are the answer to decades of prayers by Iranians who have suffered under tyranny.
