The chairman of CBS parent Paramount Global said she disagreed with her news executives' decision to admonish "CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil.

The mogul, who cut a deal to sell Paramount -- including CBS -- to Skydance earlier this year, weighed in on the topic on Wednesday.

Shari Redstone, the chairwoman and CEO of CBS’ parent company Paramount Global, said Wednesday that CBS leadership made a “bad mistake” in how they handled the fallout over “CBS Mornings” co-anchor Tony Dokoupil’s contentious last week interview with author Ta-Nehisi Coates.
