An image circulated on social media and verified by CBS News shows Katie Wiles, the daughter of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, recently traveled to Republika Srpska, the Bosnian-controlled territory led by pro-Russian Serb strongman Milorad Dodik.

The photo raises further questions about possible White House links to the pro-Russian politician. Trump on Wednesday distanced himself from two top political advisers after the New York Times reported they had traveled to Republika Srpska last week to assist Dodik’s pro-Russia party in Bosnian elections.

      While CBS as an organization is losing trustworthiness, it’s important to remember that there are still journalists with standards and ethics that pre-date the Skydance purchase working there.

      It’s reasonable to be skeptical about anything with Bari Weiss or the Ellisons’ fingerprints on it, but credible reporting will still keep coming through as long as there are people with backbones there to do it. Supporting them and giving their stories clicks is still ethical as a viewer/audience/citizen, and also creates at least some data to show internally that real journalism is more profitable than fake journalism.
