man, CBS is just going absolutely all-in on destroying their news reputation

Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music.

Blame paramount. That’s where the pressure is coming from.

I gave up on TV news about a decade ago. I see it at my mom's and can't believe the pablum BS they're peddling.

Trying to appease the administration to get Paramount sold when all the smart money is just waiting for 2029.

ovid9.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well I mean, there's money to be made! Who cares about news when there is money?
Money is all that matters! Obviously.

Another cowardly media capitulation. This is disgusting cowardice

Cowards!!

i know the parallel has been overdrawn but this is literally how Russian state media operates. Bullshit “cultural filler” as analytical pieces get axed and the reporters get fired or fall in line!

Shari Redstone wants to stop losing money and sell Paramount for the agreed upon price and doesn't care if she has to destroy CBS news to do it.

Okay, but destroying Paramount's value in the process, uh.

dnlmsstch.bsky.social•1 day ago

They already agreed upon a price. Destroying the value won't change that.

I'm so happy I don't support mainstream media

Tortious interference, anyone?

#BoycottCBS!!!

jlyons72.bsky.social•1 day ago

They went as far as to send one of their morning anchors to space

jbatterson7.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes it was noticeable before the election.

plopseven.bsky.social•1 day ago

Everyone who bends that knee is going to find it pretty hard to stand up later.

BRB - boycotting Paramount.

I wonder how/if Colbert will cover this

BOOOO to CBS. Afraid of Trump

the coming high-info-literacy, low-trust era is going to produce some seriously strange and unpleasant bedfellows

sunseekerdeluxe.bsky.social•1 day ago

You say that like it hasn't already.

semiapies.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wish I could believe in the high info literacy part of that.

Constant BullShit

somerandosalt.bsky.social•1 day ago

All so that they can close this M&A and we can all work to organize a boycott of their steaming service(s).

Columbia University, Columbia Broadcasting System… they might even drag down the reputation of the letter C

It’s paramount forcing CBS to do this.

lindarosemoniak.bsky.social•1 day ago

Disgraceful and weak. Watch Independent News.

lacgfy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I cancelled Paramount+ just to be on the safe side. Fuck these money-grubbing, spineless weasels. They are literally bottom feeders/fluffers.

I loved 60 Minutes so I'm really depressed about this

theemightyquinn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Didn’t 60 Minutes air a rehabilitation piece on a pardoned war criminal during that guy’s first term? Genuine question. Eric something-or-other?

After being raising for 30 seconds after Bill Owens left and the reaction wasn’t immediately and uniformly “And good riddance, agitator!” across its broadcasts, my eyebrow has returned to its flat aspect with management’s eagerness to wholly discredit itself.

The age of the Republican Party has begun.

Zydeco, still just four songs. I'd rather listen to polka.

Naive question - but real. People ask me. What is the fear from the media and Trump? May he send the top heads to El Salvador?

fthanderson.bsky.social•1 day ago

The FCC under Trump is being weaponized. CBS has been warned to pull any bad reporting on the Trump regime or lose their license.

khwalz.bsky.social•1 day ago

In this round, Joe McCarthy wins over Edward R. Murrow.

deniabledrip.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes and it's their responsibility as journalists to tell the government to get fucked, run the story anyways, and then fight the FCC in court on 1A grounds.

fthanderson.bsky.social•1 day ago

True, but they are afraid of the Trump regime so that’s not going to happen.

deniabledrip.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cuck behavior.
