Not quite "like Fox." At least the others are actual news organizations, whereas Fox News is recognized as entertainment programming. The problem with corporate news is capitalism, which is the corporate part. Connect that to Pelosi's idea that Dems can't be corrupted by $ because they are Dems.
The difference between Fox and the others will soon be completely gone, save that Fox may differentiate itself by even further decline. Lost is the time when 'news organizations' were not profit centers for media owners.
Yeah, good ol' capitalism--if it doesn't make someone a lot of money it will eventually be squashed or made irrelevant through force and overwhelm. This was all a pretty predictable conclusion to this experiment.
Heiress Shari Redstone who owns a controlling stake is very upset about their coverage of Gaza. As a Jewish American she is apparently offended that reporting on Israel committing genocide is not favorable or fair.
It's staggering how a few rich whites can openly rig our so-called free press.
If you get a chance, watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver from last Sunday. We are losing reliable, unfettered news sources because they will not stand up to the threats of this administration. Next stop...full Dictatorship.
I'll take Wayne Brady's deal making skills over Trump's every day of the week. Brady has contestants dressed in different costumes. Trump's has all the people around looking like bald walking white penises but they aren't in costumes.
I quit the CBS Evening News when Norah O’Donnell left and they decided to have TWO co-anchors. Everything seems very scripted and distracting. Each assigned the same number of lines. Each awkwardly waiting for the other to stop talking.
Yeah I even stopped watching their Morning Show. Besides amounting to about less than an hour show out of 2 hours it seems they are all in on Trump now or afraid to criticize him🤷♀️
I moved away from CNN and WaPo back to traditional networks and they are all the same. BBC is somewhat better but they love to repeat obvious lies in the headlines
CBS News and Edward R Murrow were instrumental in dethroning a lying fascist by the name of Joe McCarthy. Now CBS and Paramount are focused solely on sucking up to the very same fascism.
Despicable beyond words.
John Oliver did his main thing on the media last night. I thought I was beyond panicking over things here but I was very wrong. We’re in big big trouble!
Appreciate John Oliver for sure. Can't believe he's not in the crosshairs of this administration yet, given how good John is at getting under the skin of people without an actual sense of humor (or who are actually guilty of what he's pointing out they are guilty of). Also, just cos John is gay.
Hahaha that didn't occur to me. Hard to understand. I mean, I'm not even rich and I avoid most network TV. But then, even with a golden toilet, he stays in his intellectual lane. That's why his rural working-class base thinks he's relatable--he talks like trash TV reality shows.

If CBS does that, everybody should boycott them and their advertisers.

That tells you all you need to know.
