Seems CBS doesn't want to be State TV. Huh...

I needed to be clearer here. This is just another extortion attempt by the orange menace & his flying monkeys. CBS & their affiliates, Paramount+ will capitulate. Doing what they did with Colbert, they opened the door to this. Sinclair in on Team Trump. They have been since 2015.

The Homeland Security press release was angry that CBS took the obvious lies, jingoistic nonsense, and rah-rah phony patriotism out of Noem's answers. But the point you're making is that they shouldn't give these a-holes a platform at all. I totally agree with that.

Yes. Exactly that. But they're all doing it. CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT, WaPo. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out. My husband was a 10 yr columnist at the Miami Herald. They did this back in the 80's/90's. He left & became a programmer. Dirty Laundry: "Bubble headed bleach blond, comes on at 5..."

Corporate media has been horrible almost since its inception. Once advertising dollars became involved, then getting information to the public ceased being a priority.

I stopped watching CBS a long time ago. Their local news stations are given scripted propaganda to read. They're not journalists, they're news readers like Russia. Sinclair owns 185 local stations in 85 markets. We can see where this is going.

I was more referring to U.S. MSM. The "Big Three" plus cable, streaming. We've lost our way. The NYT and WaPo have failed us. The erosion of great journalistic institutions is gut-wrenching. Uncle Walter is rolling over in his grave.

I was just posting a list of what I consider to be reputable, journalistic news sources. There are still some out there.
