My three year puts up a better fight when I ask him to eat his food than multi billion dollar corporations with endless supplies of lawyers willing to take on this frivolous lawsuit. This should be a slam dunk win for CBS. WTF?
No faith in ABC after settling @stephanopolous.bsky.social
@nbcnews.com; hit or miss @cnn.com; compromised
@foxnewscorporation.bsky.social; GOP propaganda. @cbsnewsconfirmed.bsky.social has Edward R. Murrow & Walter Cronkite legacies. @danrather.bsky.com fired for misinformation. Don’t settle CBS!
Don’t kid ur self the corp media is already in the tank..that includes MSNBC..best advice follow trusted journalists to actually see or hear actual news..not the dribble of the groveling corp media
It fricking happened in Germany. It took shitler something like 42 days to control, destroy, and turn citizens against each other. Here, we have no one to save us.
They'll cave...like the others.Your countrymen will soon lose their flow of information which is the intention. Folks will grab the low fruit for their info i.e. Fox, Newsmax.They'll believe what's said. Your electorate is uneducated & apathetic.Only sites such as these can truly inform.
If CBS settles this without litigating it, I will immediately cancel my Showtime, @paramountplus.bsky.social The Movie Channel, @cbssports.bsky.social and any others I can dig up. I don't use Nickelodeon, Spike, MTV, Comedy Central or VH1. I prefer @abcnetwork.bsky.social for news. #Balls
Lmao "independent media"? Since fucking when? That's what happens when you strip away all the regulations surrounding news media, you end up with a bunch of corporate shills. Just the simple fact that Fox "News" is allowed to operate as a news outlet shows how broken your country is and has been.
Right! The fox angertainment network heavily edited $Trump's Q&A townhall where he was supposedly being asked questions from 'independent' women. They edited out portions of the interview. I don't hear $Trump whining about that though.
I think some lawyers need to get together and start suing trump for all his defamatory statements against the 1000s of people he has made false claims about. there could probably be a class action suit against him. and how about some wrongful death suits because his covid lies killed so many.
I think Canada should sue him for defamation for every single lie he spreads about our country. To the tune of the same amounts of billions of dollars he claims our trade deficit currently is. We will use the $200 billion left to provide a bunch of infrastructure quickly to house American refugees.
agreed. everyone who has a legit case against him should go for it all at once. bury that s.o.b. with law suits. Canada can afford it, but we need a large group of lawyers to to step up to help those who can't.
yes but the fact he's only going for blue cities is a serious problem. and now he's threatening to withhold FEMA money from blue states. it's all going to blow up in his face.
If they appease this pos they're going to experience the same drastic drop in ratings as MSNBC & CNN
They will lose all credibility and viewers will flee, I've already divorced network legacy, and watch independent pro-democracy networks
Maybe there should be daily mass protests outside each network's headquarters. They won't expect it and will have to cross the masses every day to get to work. Would they even report it even if it's right at their doorstep? 🤔
If CBS settles, I’m done with MSM and most pseudo streaming services. My voice is meaningless to most at CBS & their mgmt & investors. But their advertisers will notice as CBS/MSM ratings drop.
I am much less distracted as I cut fascists and their enablers out of my life. I don’t need CBS. I don’t need Target, Twitter, Amazon … I wonder what will be the accumulated impact of us quietly canceling our spending over time.
"Is old Bernie so naive or stupid he thinks the same rules are in place when we were a democracy? We're fascists now! Wake up to it ffs! These are Nazis and we're in BIG TROUBLE!"
Has anyone *not* caved? Watching politicians of both parties, major media personalities, business and tech leaders, all just bed the knee doesn’t exactly give me much confidence about the future…
We don't have a free press now. During every campaign we've bitched about the coverage dems get and it just keeps getting worse. This time msm forced Joe out of the race. That wasn't journalism that was creating the narrative. Turn off major networks cuz fuck em.
If CBS caves, like ABC did, ALL Americans can rightfully say that corporate media needs to go until the fairness doctrine is returned and lying for corporate masters is banned entirely.
That's their affiliate they pay CBS for content. CBS has no control over affiliate actions. Many of these networks are owned conservative owners. One big one was on Trump's staff. If she decides to do her own thing online, I will support her. Seems to be the only venue left.
If I had tried to predict that they would have caved to a lawsuit driven by Trump’s temper tantrum at the expense of their own ethics and reputation, I would have believed they fight it tooth and nail.
Why does he give a shit .. he can’t run again … if he gets impeached in 2 years he going to prison yet he will be dead very soon and JD will get killed by Johnson
Trump's worst enemy is the GOP that props him up but he doesn't see it yet. They have been counting on him not holding office for very long, that's why they chose Vance as his VP. Trump isn't in charge, he's just the tool they've used to seize power for themselves & their oligarchs.
Vance is owned by Petey Theil (gay $$ boss of Silicon Valley) He’s the lawyer/$ guy. They are nerds. JD Vance wife is a beard … I don’t see JD having any short term appeal much less long term.
It is too late to believe in a fair and honest main stream media. Let them die and maybe something better will rise out of the ashes. Something that isn't so controlled by profits, owned by billionaires with agendas, and lacking in the fundamentals in modern media which would make them relevant.
Seeking to make a positive change and bring together who are willing to do so. Started my own YouTube Channel called The Maverick Mind. Please subscribe, comment, share and more. I am learning quickly how to make better content but your support now matters
All of this is in vain. It's clear that Trump and his lackeys are coming for ALL media that doesn't pay up, run nonstop pieces that stroke his ego, and/or sanewash his crazy nonsense.
People already should not be watching MSM. But unfortunately they sit glued to their TV sets watching ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN. All of the above should be completely avoided. They have no journalistic integrity whatsoever. They have become Trump's mouthpiece.
There are exceptions. Rachel Maddow, currently nightly on MSNBC, should not be missed. Everything she warned about in the first term is happening now. A few others on that network are worth a listen. Canadian news is infuriating.
May I agree with you about Canadian news. They've gone the same way as ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN and MSNBC. They are terrified to call out the far right. Although they would not lose their licenses here in Canada but they still are terrified of the far right.
Lawrence O' Donnell seems to be the only one that has integrity to call out and hold Trump's feet to fire. he should be replacing Joe and Mika. Maybe Rachel Maddow should be replacing Joe and Mika. But on the whole none of those networks have stood up to Trump. They are scared to lose their license.
They do?? Lol Joe and Mika went down couple of times to Florida and totally bend both knees to the orange buffoon. And then to top that both of them have the audacity to yell at their audience for questioning their decision to bend the knees. And MSNBC supports them. The show is still going.
I don't know how anybody can appear as a guest on Joe and Mika's show. I know a few days ago Michael Steele tore into Joe and Mika. I don't know how Joe can and Mika as well stand in front of the mirror and look at themselves. But I think secretly they were always fans of the orange buffalo.
If MSNBC wants to be seen as having the integrity IN journalism then they have to get rid of Joe and Mika. And they have to stop muzzling their anchors. They have to allow tough questioning oF far right/Trump/MAGA AND the Democrats as well. The Democrats are useless right now.
I listen to Lawrence on the YouTube as well. And Rachel as well. And Mehdi Hassan. However I refused to actually watch MSNBC. And CNN is definitely off the list now forever. And ABC, CBS and NBC are not even in the same universe anymore. Only independent media on Substack, YouTube etc.
Totally appreciate the sentiment and agree with Bernie. However, please realize that CBS is in the business of supporting its business, not in the business of supporting the constitution. That’s a job for publicly funded news. The sooner we grasp that the better. Tune out all them as a start.
It’s not half. If you look at votes it’s approx one third. They are literally a minority, so much so that they have to use terror tactics to make people believe otherwise. Like an animal trying to look bigger in a fight
See, I also thought, no way, they are in the minority, they won’t win. Then they won. Because even though they are 1/3, there is a sizable chunk who are undecided/lazy/not keeping tabs…so we can’t automatically assume they would agree with us either.
That’s a fair point tbh. People tend to react only to what affects them directly. If this is what’s going on after a few days, it won’t take too long before it directly impacts them though.
Complacency played a big part in the last election. With hourly pay exceeding inflation and full employment, people didn’t bother to vote. They don’t show up when they have jobs and their stomachs are full.
Simply cut off television altogether. There’s no point in watching any so-called news programs. We haven’t had tv in a few years & don’t miss it at all.
The problem with settling is that it won’t stop there… he will be back when you say something else he doesn’t like… he’s a thug… you are selling out the American people who count on the media to stand up to thugs…
I'm in SE MI - north of Windsor. CBC Radio2 was/is mostly music. I had to stop listening the first time around because they went through a few stages of grief but landed at disgusted. Obviously, there are other CBC Radio stations. I don't remember when I last checked for availability online.
I really miss Stuart McLain. We started a paper cranes project (use TBD but we'll need a small mountain!). I used to spend that hour every Saturday folding paper.
We stopped watching our local Los Angeles CBS/KCAL news station when they sent a reporter out to a maga woman's house to interview her about her election signs being stolen, and let her model her maga hat as well.
I already stopped my daily online watch 11/5. I just could not stomach the thought of watching the morning crew playing nice, both-sidesing and normalising 🍊💩🤡
Stand tall, CBS stand tall!! Don’t you dare give in like ABC did!! I switched to CBS after being an ABC man for years because they bow down to kiss the ring and if you give NBC is the only one left and I’m not happy with them with Joe and Mika planting their lips on the convicts backside!!!!
If they start paying protection money, it will not end. It is essentially saying they will stay within the new lines that Trump draws, which will likely get narrower and narrower.
Rebecca Tushnet, the Frank Stanton professor of First Amendment law at Harvard Law School, put it more simply: “It’s ridiculous junk and should be mocked.”
Is he going to sue Fox News for editing out the part of his own interview? The one that cuts after he says he'd release the Epstein files so viewers wouldn't hear him immediately backtrack?
CBS—don’t settle for anything except an apology from dumpy! If you break the line and give in, all stations will be in crosshairs. Fuck this convicted felon, stand firm he is wrong in so many ways
Honestly, I think I’d rather see them fold and pay up publicly. Then we’d know for sure where they stand instead of watching for them to fold and pay up silently.
@cbs he is a bully. Do not give in. We support you. You pay I will no longer watch anything on your channel including sports. Yes sports will be dead to me
We are now an authoritarian state. Trump is a dictator getting paid for corruption and grifting. Supreme Court sanctioning all of Trump’s bad behavior. And now the Department of Justice is now Trump’s personal attorneys. Trump does not have a mandate. But Supreme Court gave him absolute immunity.

Media depend on owners. What a realization. They DEPEND!

No biggie for me. I had already started souring on him when I found out he’s close buds with the California pistachio queen.

It merely required some airtime for diverse viewpoints - opinions - on matters of public importance.
And it could not constitutionally apply to anything but the broadcast airwaves.

That is until YouTube capitulates to Trump and then I'll only watch streams.
this is bizarro world we're living in and the Joker is in charge.
CBS is a corporation and corporations do what corporations do.
I never understood what the whole editing argument was about anyway
As if Harris needed to be edited or handled.
Trump was the guy who said "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats" and got elected ANYWAY!

This is the new way --- either media (and social media) pays or they won't get to play.
What country is this?
I agree
Online media has been corrupted by corporate influence for at least 5 or 10 years.
We have official state run media like in North Korea, ours is fancier with better production value
America needs you to be strong right now.
I hope you will be the media team that will help to inform us during these turbulent times!
We need your Voices!

Everything the melon felon touches does. He’s toxic.
I hope someone influential and not psychotic has their ear.
Or maybe they’re just chickenshit.
✅️ Control the media and turn it all into state tv praising their dear leader 24/7
And ABC, @nbcnews.com , @cnn.com
They all have failed us.
Alas a king is created.

Don’t expect anything honorable from the magas at cbs news.
