Does CBS lie? Why have you determined they are garbage? I don’t usually watch the news, I’d rather read it so I have no idea why CBS would be garbage |

I’m too lazy to type out an answer for something that is common knowledge for anyone that takes in any type of media. AI summary. There has been a significant and controversial rightward shift. Here’s what happened: The ownership change: Skydance, led by David Ellison, merged with Paramount (CBS’s parent company) in 2025. David Ellison is the son of Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, a major Trump donor. The editorial shake-up: CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss was hired after Paramount acquired her news blog, The Free Press, for $150 million. Weiss had no prior TV news experience and reports directly to David Ellison. Staff tensions: Weiss told staff in an all-hands meeting to leave if they didn’t support her vision, acknowledging the network had received poor public reception since her takeover. Just yesterday, CBS News’ London bureau chief of 23+ years was ousted after clashing with Weiss over coverage of Trump’s war with Iran and the Gaza conflict. The ratings hit: Critics say CBS has experimented with a more accommodating posture toward MAGA-aligned voices, which risks satisfying neither traditional CBS viewers nor conservative audiences who already have Fox News. The Trump dinner: Just last week, Trump attended a lavish D.C. dinner hosted by David Ellison, with CBS News executives and Bari Weiss present — which drew protests outside. This is a billionaire with Trump ties buying the network and installing friendly management. The editorial direction has clearly shifted and is generating significant internal and public backlash. |
