MAGA-curious head of CBS News
That sounds much nicer than "explicit republican puppet." It's not like she's been subtle about it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, when did journalism veer from "make your statement in the headline, then support it in the article" to "use vague and confusing language as much as possible"?
Click bait. If you can learn the core of the thesis from the headline, why would you load the ad-filled article?
Not a surprise but I'm glad we have confirmation Bari Weiss is directly making political decisions to not air stories, and that these reporters are fighting back.
Seeing how shameless Weiss is, I don't expect change, but people at least need to know 60 Minutes and CBS News are no longer reliable.
I’d rather get fired than edit that kind of segment out.
It’s sad watching the US get hollowed out like a coconut that so many billionaires are drilling into so they can fuck it.
The Amerinazi has successfully captured the fourth pillar of democracy. This isn't breaking news, it has been happening for years. I mean, I am just spouting shit at this point, but nothing is going to change. They control the legislative, executive, judicial and media, all four pillars.
How and why do they ever reliquish power and control?
Stopped watching CBS awhile back. The Weiss hiring, and her subsequent actions have only confirmed my decision. It sucks too because my local CDS news affiliate is pretty decent, and I really like the morning anchor.
Cable TV is compromised. It's hard to find reliable information these days especially if it's political in nature.
NPR member stations are a great way to stay informed, as well as the NY Times.
I personally like to listen to Philly's WHYY NPR station because it covers local news in my area too.
I have issues with NPR. They basically had a pro genocide platform for a while. Doing whatever they could to justify Israel's actions.
Sure their reporting of events was straightforward, the issue came during their other segments/interviews
WHYY only gets some of it's funding from NPR, it also gets lots of funding from corporate sponsors, and most importantly I believe about 50% of their funding comes directly from listeners.
By listening to local NPR stations you get a mix of NPR broadcast and local news / independent journalism.
So even if you have a bone to pick with NPR it's still worth it to give their local member stations a listen.
Scumbag
CBS is owned by sycophantic nazis and fascists. Of course they are going to spike stories that show them abusing their positions and harming people with impunity. Nothing will change until we see some major wear and tear on the Louisettes.
Edit: The segment has been leaked, thanks to Canada. 🇨🇦

Rename CBS to Wochenschau USA or RT USA. WTF AmeriKa!
