Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor TV news can help a dozen soundbites from politicians go viral on any day. One recent social-media uproar stirred by CBS News came not from flagship programs like “CBS Mornings” or “CBS Evening News,” but from “Red & Blue,” a program available only through streaming. On a recent Wednesday, CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns nabbed an interview with Senator Tim Scott, the Republican presidential hopeful, and made sure to ask him his stance on federal limits on when women might be able to terminate a pregnancy. Scott gave all kinds of answers, but none of them directly answered her questions. The exchange made news — even though it debuted first in a place where, in another era, it might have gotten lost.
Correspondents would like to do more of these kinds of interviews, says Huey-Burns. “He hadn’t defended a position before, so we saw that as an opportunity. Once people are out on the trail and talking to voters and laying out their campaign, it’s a fair question.” More news aficionados may see CBS break such information online soon. The Paramount Global news outlet will on May 1 introduce “America Decides,” a weekday panel program featuring a phalanx of correspondents from its Washington bureau.

Already, the Republican National Committee has announced its first primary debate among candidates will take place in Milwaukee in August and will be hosted by Fox News. “America Decides” debuts officially on May 1 and will stream at 5 p.m. eastern Monday
