CBS News CEO steps down over Gaza censorship

Anonymous
Head of 60 minutes also resigned because Paramount wanted to censor the shows content.

From the article:

There have been several points of tension between CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon and Redstone in recent months, including CBS' coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a potential "60 Minutes" settlement with the Trump administration

In recent weeks, Paramount Global's board had put increasing pressure on Cheeks and McMahon to know specific details about "60 Minutes" programming ahead of its air date, in a divergence from how the show operated in the past, according to people familiar with the matter. Veteran "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens resigned in April, saying Paramount Global's increased scrutiny of his editorial decisions infringed on his journalistic independence.

No surprise here. Up until very recently, mainstream media wasn't allowed to show anything that's remotely anti-Israel.

For example, the New York Times has instructions for journalists to avoid using certain terms, including "occupation," "occupied territories," and "Palestine" when describing the situation in Gaza and the wider Israeli-Palestinian situation.

Similar claims have come out at other big media platforms like the BBC and elsewhere.

Not to mention the absolute serendipity the U.S.-based bureau staff covering the region just always magically ending up to be from that same 2% of our population.

Totally coincidental!

By the time Trump is done, we won't have much in the way of viable independent journalism any more.

Why are we surprised. We know who owns CBS and the pursuit of this is more important than the pursuit of truth.

Yes, yes. What else can we do to discredit the reality of our broken system? Lol

We get it. You love the status quo. It agrees with your fascist sensibilities.

To be completely honest, watching your craven projection of invincibility fall apart is going to be the best part of all of this. Better even than ending this genocide …

Distressing that our news is being censored.

Let’s not forget Bush II also censored his Iraq War.

The media has been complicit in every illegitimate war that we've either supported or have directly been involved in.

The truth tastes rotten in the mouths of those who have forced the rest of us to subsist on propaganda for decades, like our resident radical, extremist Zionists.

Thinks deputizing themselves to accuse critics of Israel’s policies and actions as anti-semitic results in some kind of an official edict … 🤣
