Might be a way to entice maga away from state television and be exposed to reason. Eternally optimistic.

Actually, state television just expanded. CBS is Communist Broadcasting Service. #BoycottParamountSkyDance

Who watches CBS? They shouldn’t. CBS is under authoritative control & spews Trump propaganda,not factual news. Fox 2.0

It feels like we're very close to calling 'the time of death' for democracy & some media corporations are complicit.

With media, businesses, universities, law firms, Supreme Court judges, GOP congress all capitulating to Trump the odds of democracy surviving keep slipping.

CBS bent the knee to Rump awhile ago.

Walter Cronkite is rolling in his grave.

Of course it’s a woman who has the strength to stand up and haul it out exactly as it is… Men in this country …just so many fucking cowards

Geobbels would approve. This is insane.

Cowardice and greed go hand in hand. CBS CEO George Cheeks is worthy of nothing but scorn.

Cancel Paramount. South Park will find a new home, don't worry.

South Park is owned by both Paramount and don’t forget about Warner Bros. too.

The Soviet Union called them “political officers” or “political commissars.” They were embedded in military units to enforce party ideology. Even officers had to obey them.

Well that went from 1933 to 1984 in a hot minute.

Boycott CBS IMMEDIATELY

I will not be watching CBS for any reason whatsoever

Click

Killing the constitution is going swimmingly. We have a right to a free press.

Fuckers own the rights to Star Trek.

Shit. I forgot that. 🥺

It's horrifying

Could have Been Saved > CBS

It's too bad those republican owners caved to the con man!

Owning the media is a large part of this coup!

CBS might as well hang it up. No one but the deluded MAGAs will watch a Trump propaganda network.

Here’s a wild idea: just report the damn weather, all day, everyday. We don’t need a report on “How fucked Up America Is Today," we’ve got front-row seats to the shit show. MAGA’s running the media like it’s propaganda hour. Control the media, control the narrative. This. Is. Happening.

I ended my relationship was CBS, NBC ABC, etc.,many years ago! And I will continue to call them out as the fascists they truly are. And like the extinction of the newspaper, so shall it be with the news media! They will not survive, once America wakes up to their scam!

Why? It's their cover/excuse for what the Ellisons plan to do with CBS anyway.

Just shut it down! Better to have no news than Trump propaganda.

CBS needs to take this to court immediately. It's a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. If CBS kow tows then we have lost our 1st Amendment rights. Not only that, but they might as well call themselves Fox "News" and get it over with. In fact no one will watch CBS News, they need to shut down.

I will watch ONLY Colbert. Until he is canceled. And then? CBS/paramount/Skydance is dead to me.

It’s over. They already agreed. They kow towed. Our part is now to punish CBS and skydance by moving our eyes and dollars elsewhere.

I am grateful I haven't had television since 2012 when Canada went digital so I never see MSM except when people post it here....but I have all MSM blocked here

CBS agreed to it, why would they sue?

They should sue because it is a violation of the 1st Amendment. Our government does not have a right to tell media what they should be saying in news or weather broadcasts. The can have rules about pornography, but that's about it.

CBS agreed to government censorship.

Yes, and they are pussies for doing that. How are we going to have a Constitutional republic, if our own government doesn't follow our Constitution, and people with real power are afraid of challenging that government in court. CBS had real power, then they complied instead of fighting it.

2/By going along, CBS has lost their credibility as an honest purveyor of news. How do we know what other deals they have made to cover up stories for the government? We don't. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.

Kiss ALL media goodbye. Better yet, might as well kiss America away...there is no more America. Everyone will bend eventually....eeeveryyyonnne.. sigh

I'm old, so I don't bend very well.

Teehee...me too...me too..😊

What happened to the independence of the news?

So , good-bye CBS! You are openly saying you are a state ran channel and news organization! Just jumped right into the dictatorship! Hope that trashing of anything related to democracy and the constitution tasted good!

Fascism is alive and well in the USA.

And alive and sick!

Has this been challenged on 1st Amendment grounds, or did they just concede this?

Fox "lite."

Just stopped the auto payment of my CBS/Paramount streaming subscription. Which effectively cancels it. Have a good day CBS.

Now that they have the deal done. It will be interesting to see what happens.

They are doing a great job of destroying a once reputable network. So sad and infuriating. William Paley must be rolling around in his grave.

What?!?!? Every day it gets worse and worse. This is horrific

All broadcast journalism at CBS just died. Now, more than ever, independent media is needed to make sure we can get some semblance of true news reporting. If they can do this with CBS, they will get the other mainstream media soon. We are becoming more and more authoritarian every day.

MAGA’s dream is state-run media—they just want it wearing our jersey. Trump’s “truth arbiters” aren’t protecting facts, they’re policing dissent. This isn’t journalism, it’s propaganda staffing. End the con: free press means free from the president.

The Ministry of Truth.

No more first amendment rights

Fucking sickening. How much do you want to bet they’ll try to force Colbert out earlier somehow? Can they null and void his contract?

@cbsnews.com full on nazi mode. Trump state tv.

😶

We won’t be watching to find out, but it was only 60 minutes, so not a huge journalistic loss.

That train has sailed.

Very Soviet. Communist Broadcasting System

In this case: Capitalist Broadcasting System

Every time…

Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave for sure.

nobody gives a fuck what MSM says and this is one more reason why. #fuckparamount

What the f is happening????????????????

A successful coup.

So very sad where this administration has taken us.

Just WTF people?

State TV

Walter Cronkite is flipping in his grave!

FUCK CBS !!!

Cowards Bullshit and Surrender

Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 introduced the Ministry of Truth, the government’s propaganda department. We. Are. There.

Truth arbiter is the kind of phrase that tells you that neither is present

In the 60's, 70's, 80's, Apartheid-era South Africa, every newspaper, media organisation, tv channel, etc. had it's own government censor. USA, welcome to authoritarianism.

Does a blackmailer EVER let you off the hook? No, CBS, they don’t. Why would you put yourself in this unsustainable position?

Boycott CBS. Do not watch the station until the monitor is gone. Maybe not even then.

Walter Cronkite is spinning in his grave.

I have blocked or canceled ALL CBS and Paramount streams. We can make this the biggest failure merger in the history of our world. Join with me. Let's make America Better than Before.

Any thoughts on how we can continue to support Colbert while telling CBS to fuck all the way off? Not sure watching via YouTube changes the metrics, but maybe?

he's under contract. paid 'till the end, regardless. but i get your concern.

Oh cumon

Harry, I have a question for you. If the survivors of Trump and Epstein were to go on the media. Perhaps Joe Rogan‘s podcast. If they tell the world that Trump raped them. What’s the legal ramifications? He can sue, but we know how that will go.

Easy decision to make. You just never listen to any of their news. Our country is so sick right now it’s mind-boggling. What’s a good journalist like Scott Pelly do?

What does a good guy like Scott Pelly do? He’s a straight shooter. This is egregious.

Putin is having his way!!what’s in this video that he has of Trump?

They’re done. Time them out. Turn them off. They can ‘arbit’ all they want in a sad little echo chamber without viewers & without advertising dollars. Trump kills everything he touches.

@facethenation.bsky.social is Stephen Miller writing Margaret Brennan's questions for her now? Or only reviewing and approving in advance?

CBS? He dead.

Disgusting!

Burnt toast.

It’s something terrible all day every day

😳

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. CBS IS DEAD TO ME. THIS TAKES THE CAKE ON ASS LICKING.

We are not Russia yet but we are getting much closer.

Fuck CBS.

Definitely fucking Nazis.

Bye CBS... You are now entirely and completely dead to me. (Honestly, not difficult to do... Wasn't watching them anyway. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️) 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤡🖕🖕💩💩

No way

100% un-American.

So, the CBS acronym now stands for Communist Broadcasting System?

People, don't watch this shitty fucking network, problem solved. They will never get the cultists away from Fox and their garbage shows will tank.

Where's the truth arbiter at FOX

CBS - Complete Bull Shit

Nah. This is dictatorship.

Walter Cronkite is spinning in his grave.

I heard that it's now run by trump's fascist regime, or rather, the loser son of one of trump's megarich supporters. CBS is pretty much the first station to completely go down.

And fuck these rich assholes who would capitulate and sacrifice all of us so that they don’t lose any money. Talking to you Tim Cook as well as CBS and all the others. Every chink in the wall breaks the wall. You selfish bastards.

Fuck CBS..we are completely done.

Welcome to the world of 1930's Germany. Either that or the world of "1984.". Both are equally terrifying.

Turns out that this was easier to get to than we thought.

In that case --I won't ever watch their news

Again, permits or welcomes?

Holy fuck.

How on Earth, is America following Nazi regime??? Lace up. Boots on the ground. Stand firm.

This seems unconstitutional at best. What happened to Freedom of Speech?

Ah, a political officer. Shame. If they let it happen, everyone will get one. Ministry of Truth.

Time to inform all CBS news sponsors they will be boycotted

Sold out so they could sell us.

It's owner loves trump, pedophilia, and fascism

Any employees who choose to remain must feel the same way.

*its

Wow.

Trump doesn't want to govern; he wants to DICTATE! He also wants YOU to accept HIM as the sole arbiter of truth. RESIST!! It's now or never. indivisible.org 5calls.org usa.gov/elected-officials 4thworkplace.org runforsomething.net ofthebrave.org aclu.org

I think the resistance must revolt. Strongly. Now or never.

📌

The first amendment is dead. So is democracy.

CBS is dead to me forever.

If ever we’re allowed to vote in a Dem president again, the first thing the D POTUS should do is tell the IRS to go after each SCOTUS justice to the nth degree then have the DOJ investigate them, to show them what it’s like to have an unchecked president.

Don't worry there will never be another free presidential election

It would be better to close down than do that!!

Jfc

This is bone chilling. If anyone was still in denial on where we are, please send them this.

www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

No more CBS for me. What a fucked up mess of a broadcasting station

I haven’t watched CBS News since they canned Dan Rather

Every single media outlet will be under the thumb of the right. We all get to watch it happen. America is no longer. Mark yalls callendar...America is no more.

This is Soviet era 💩

They care more about money, simple as.

Boycott CBS!

I never thought a conglomerate like CBS would choose dictatorship over free speech…

F CBS.

Agree! Entities must be called out, one at a time as seems necessary. I don’t subscribe to game, set, match. Each and every org must own it for themselves, and CBS played their cards and failed.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. Wow...WTF?

Unbelievable.

"truth arbiter" - is that another name for the person who will make sure that CBS "news" don't miss a single "truth" social post from 🍊Mussolini?

C - Controlled B - Bull S - Shit #CBS 💩📺💩

CBS? This is the United States of America. 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Nobody comes in here and tells us what we can and cannot report. Is this a joke?

News really needs to be not under the umbrella of a parent company that would sell out for the right amount of money. All of this can be changed. Hell look at what Trump has done with about 1/3 of the voting public voting for him (1/3 stayed home) Things can be fixed.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. The US is way beyond fixing. I've said for 45 years that we're headed for a breakup. I wish we could just get it done and move on.

Most solutions involve first fixing government, since it is not as if you can magically turn real news profitable, or trust any oligarchs with the basis for our freedom.

You can't fix government when government a) doesn't want to be fixed, b) is controlled by boundless greed, and c) the people are so entrenched in their little bubbles that most of them can't be bothered to even vote, much less start a revolution.

This is unbelievable.

mortui sunt mihi.

"Truth arbiters" were called in Soviet Union: Glavlit; in Poland: Head Office for the Control of Press, Publications and Entertainment; in 1933 Germ: Reichs­kul­tur­kammer; and so on. The history rhymes. Great things came out of those times.

I no longer watch, listen, or read any trumpy source.

Horrific. 😡

“Truth Arbiter” is just their word spin on “State Censor” Welcome to the age of US Autocracy & the rise of Dictator Bronzolini.

JFC! As if Fox wasn't bad enough with this state run propaganda machine.

Say hello to Joseph Goebbels 2.0

So are they just going to censor/bleep Colbert's entire show?

Why would anyone still watch CBS? We’ve cancelled our Paramount Plus subscription.

I'm guessing CBS and skydance are under the impression that if they're in for a penny they're in for a pound ... And since they're already 16 million dollars deep ... Freedom of the press is the next to fall, I fear, from this authoritarian ass clown!

I hope they all walk out! We have already deleted aps & only watch Colbert. We will boycott any advertisers. What can we do about Paramount? We never had a subscription.

The beginning of the end of the 1st Amendment.

No. Find independent journalism and support them.

Sold out for sale favors👍

Welcome to North Korea, American style.

This is CENSORSHIP!

Next time we have a Democrat president expect this to be rescinded then immediately replaced by a new policy to hold the administration accountable.

No more: freedom of the press, freedom of speech, 5th Estate, or press holding our elected leaders accountable it's all gone. The ultra right (MAGA) who want no govt oversight have no problem with this regime taking away their 1st amendment nor do they have a problem with all the Repub pedos/rapist

It is good that we have a big problem with this blatant abuse of power and removing rights.

Honestly. We knew this was coming.🕯🤓

Geez how low can you go?

🤬💯☝️

Wusses

I think democracy is dead in the USA.

Keep watching Colbert until his show is gone but, other than that, boycott CBS completely.

CBS/Paramount/Skydance is dead to me once Colbert is off the air. They are Traitors.

This right here is the reason they're getting rid of him. @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy is going full Nazi mode.

RIP CBS

He’s turning them into fucking Pravda!!

Mind boggling and humiliating is so 2024.

There’s no reason to watch CBS anymore. The network of Walter Cronkite and Harry Reasoner is on its way to demise.

Gotta clear it with the Politburo before Pravda is allowed to publish it!

America's first State Run TV.

Looks like CBS will be the first US state committee ran broadcasting station. Putin is so proud of his orange puppet.

I called her out for not doing anything about it.

The Thought Police are coming to town. 1984 arrived.

CBS is dead as a purveyor of news! Any news organization that allows this censoring can never be trusted to tell the truth!

Nazis and kowtower chickens 🐓

Untenable

Jesus fucking christ. Like holy fuck, how would you ever think this would be ok or even make them any money. Does this go for all th shows & movies???

No one will be watching CBS only Colbert show

I hope all of the journalists quit.

Everyone should walk out.

That and their advertisers!

News on CBS is dead. It'll be propaganda about the new fascist government

The network of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather gives in to the fascist Junta. Shameful!

If I worked there, I’d be quietly looking for work elsewhere, or asking management to let me out of my contract! They can no longer be called a “news organization”.

How about an Alt-CBS podcast on YouTube??

The Ministry of Truth.

It's plain fucking #fascism. The 1A seems to be nullified. This BS is unconstitutional AF and they don't even care to fight it. It's sad, pathetic, and weak. All of these companies did fine before the merger so WTF is the rush anyway? Tell Trump to fuck all the way off. JFC 🤬🤦

Wow! How many kisses-of-death does cbs want to accumulate?

WTF! This doesn't surprise me with the current bigoted fascist authoritarian regime currently in power.

Good reason to boycott the network

Sic transit gloria America.

So this is completely unconstitutional. CBS may as well shutter its news division. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.

Makes perfect sense when you accept that the billionaire owned media company is vying for a spot in an Authoritarian Billionaire controlled vision for this country

Oh, Fatherland, Fatherland……. Fascism 101

Fortunately I don't watch CBS News not even CNN or specially Fox news. I suggest for people to boycott Paramount/ CBS because it will be all propaganda maybe worse than Fox news

Enough with the bending over, CBS. Remember…US Constitution, 1A, freedom of the press???? Jeez!!!!

It is anti-American.

Nah, this is PEAK American. No more blinders or playing pretend. All the institutes have been working to prop up US fascists for decades are finally showing their whole asses.

No it isn't. This is America in all its nightmareish horror

Why are r the media companies capitulating to this Nazi regime? There is a hidden motive behind their actions

Money. It's not hidden.

This is typical fascist censorship. CBS leadership is pitiful by kissing Trump's shriveled ass. Boycott CBS & shows advertisers

F($& CBS

Stunning and unacceptable. Boycott CBS.

I guess CBS has no balls.

I will not be watching Fox News, CNN when Scott Jennings is on, or CBS News.

🤦‍♀️

Everyone should shut off CBS and find and support independent journalism.

Absolutely sickening!!

CBS is rolling the calendar back to 1984.

Orwell just missed by 40 years.

Disgusting

Unfuckingbelievable
