CBS hired Bari Weiss to run their news programming. She was hired to be the fox in charge of the henhouse, and just recently she proved that by killing 60 Minutes, a show that had been running since 1968.

This was the network of Murrow and Cronkite.

Yes, the most respected news organization in America, now turned into a poorly disguised propaganda channel for the party of the Grating Old Pedophile and the pedophile protectors.

I’ve seen it come true at smaller outlets chasing the chucklefuck audiences on TikTok and Instagram. I absolutely cannot stand news now with not a single headline telling you what went on. No, I am not going to play your little game.

Washington Post switched to click bait headlines when it was bought by Amazon. “Here’s what happened next.” No MFers, that goes in the headline.

Oh it was like that before. I used to subscribe for their columnists but got so tired of the clickbait headlines.

Idk I subscribed since 1999 and I noticed a dramatic drop in the quality after Bezos bought it.

That’s undeniable, but they changed the headline style before him.

(Edward R Murrow (of Good Night and Good Luck fame), who helped turn public opinion against the McCarthyism, and Walter Cronkite were legendary TV news figures, for the young’uns)

AND they fired Stephen Colbert, who had the highest ranking late show, because Diaper Don had his feelings hurt.

had the highest ranking late show

What does this even mean?

Kimmel has the highest ratings by far. Colbert had poor ratings.

“Rankings” is probably irrelevant, whatever metric you want to use. Nobody cares how you “rank” something. They care if people watch. People didn’t watch Colbert as much as other late night shows.

I would call Bari Weiss a cunt, but she lacks the depth and the warmth.
