CBS are nazis
CBS are nazis
Pathetic and irresponsible
All of the mainstream media has surrendered to Trump without a fight. Most have done it preemptively. I knew many would, but it's basically all of them. It's sickening.
That's not true, and it's incredibly important to hold up media who are working the stories of what this government is doing, NPR, AP, and a bunch of normal hardworking underpaid journalists are why you know to be mad. Don't erase them, that's what Trump wants to do.
@cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy CBS's access to public airwaves is predicated on the public service of delivering unbiased news to the populace.
The Corp Media has shifted right during the Reagan administration. They kept credibility because of excellence, writers, editors, and researchers who all leaned left. The broadcast news was a different animal altogether. TV news is about personalty and branding currently. 60 minutes is very good.
60 Minutes isn't good anymore if they're pulling pieces out of fear of trump.
Shari Redstone has editorial discretion now hence people quitting 60 minutes. She wants to sell Paramount to oracle billionaire Larry Ellison and his son. AND they needs FCC to approve her deal to retain broadcasting license. She sold out the show and network so become a multi billionaire
CBS doesn't carry a broadcasting license to begin with.
Yeah, you're right as their head, long-time producer, quit in disgust. CBS sold them out to gain money and power. Billionaires win again.
It was slipping then but it was like the frog in boilin water. Reagan never got the deserved trashing by the media then. GOP still look at him in a god-like way. NYT was complicit in the march twds Iraq 2. Once CNN was made it was over, opinion news was the mode of th day. Fox was the nail, its done
Andy Rooney must be complaining in his grave.
"Have you ever wondered..."
Cowards @cbsnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy Bootlicking, knee-bending, subservient cowards.
Cajun music for the Win!
Walter Cronkite is turning over in his grave Ms Redstone is thinking about the billions she’s going to loose
Those lost jobs are lost revenue. Those cases that were not completed will never be re-opened. Meanwhile, every single person that pays payroll taxes will foot the bill. What a scam.
The elite surrender to him bothers me more than anything else. This is the way to a quick end to our democracy unless we raise so much hell that companies like this one learn that they will pay a heavy price for choosing to serve a disgusting dictator rather than the public.
It should. When the people with the most ability to fight back choose to surrender, it’s pretty much over.
The elite "surrender" because they want this, actually.
It was not a surrender but an embrace. For all time they will be known as eager collaborators.
It’s so pathetic
fucking around vs. finding out
Fascism is the natural end-stage of capitalism, so of course the capitalist-owned media loves Trump.
The way to fascism, ethnic cleansing and genocide typically involves aiming to take out or otherwise marginalize/silence the cultural, business and other institutional elite who may act as rallying points of opposition/resistance or encourage resistance against rising authoritarianism.
Worse. They turned the church around, into a weapon. bsky.app/profile/wilh... (NB: the only (currently) working unroll of the original Twitter thread follows #27/27 ('#7/7A & #7/7B'))
The elite surrender quickly because they’ve never faced adversity.
they also toe the line between centrism and fascism even in the best of times. they have a lot to gain by being in bed with fascists (or so they think)
Everyone forgets that these are C level people who spend their lives doing whatever they want, hiding behind corporate personahood.
Or so they think, indeed.
The owners of these media companies, for the most part, are billionaires. They want their tax cuts, so they put weight on their employees to hold any negative stories against Trump.
YouTude!
Maybe we should all send CBS News enough rotten crawdads to make their news coverage smell better.
Is this stochastic terrorism? ButterflyMeme/gif
Hey, @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy. you guys are cowards. Good luck bowing to trump as your ratings continue to tank.
This is why a lot of people are clueless to what's going on because the news isn't reporting on anything having substance.
CBS is kissing up to the government, and refusing to cover stories that Trump doesn't like. They're also talking about giving a bribe, I mean "settlement", to Trump over a bogus lawsuit, so he will allow the FCC to approve some sale they want. This is sick.
PUSSIES 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
To be fair, you can't dance to the IRS
New Trump reality TV show: The Racketeer. It shouldn't surprise anyone when we learn that Trump and Bondi are using findings from the Epstein files and other investigations to blackmail the executives he wants to control.
Not even that devious—parent companies (eg Paramount) want their mergers approved
That’s it. 🎯
If you want to send a message, stop watching CBS. Complaining on social media while still giving CBS your eyeballs accomplishes nothing.
Abject cowards
greed will kill freedom and democracy.
Been saying this for 25 years.
I thought the Cajun music story was an odd choice. Now it makes perfect sense. Another example of CBS caving in. Shame on them.
I was waiting to see if something would come out - Capitulation. Glad I don't watch CBS anymore. Fuck 'em.
Certainly Not News @CNN is now utterly beholden to Nazi values of white supremacy
Headline should have read: “Corrupt Cowards at CBS Assist Trump Regime in Stripping 1A Rights”
Boycott CBS
SHAME on CBS
Bawk bawk bawkbawk
📌
Welp. Nothing left on tv remotely resembles news or honest journalism. From Cronkite to this. Will be blocking CBS and from my channel lineup and cancelling Paramount.
So sad. CBS must do better. A free press is essential for our country to survive.
@cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy cowards bending the knee to fascism. Zero journalistic integrity. An embarrassment. No self respect.
Pathetic
🤨🤬
Legacy media failing us at a crucial time. The oligarchy is real.
NOT YOU TOO @60minutes.bsky.social !!!!!!??????? Shame on you @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy
When folks like @petersagal.bsky.social say "but things are being covered" point him to this
They're yellow.😠
Well, it looks like it was pulled for what could have been a legitimate reason, the story changed. If this merger shit wasn't in the news, this wouldn't be news -- it happens all the time
Can you share the details? That would be very helpful.
Looks like the Trump admin changed their mind just as the story went to press. So they would have been reporting on old news. Now of course, today it could be right back to where it was... this is the problem with this Admin. They'll do one thing and 180 it a week later
Although to really please Russell Vought and his coterie, 60 Minutes should have aired a video about Muzak elevator music and let us watch paint drying or grass growing.
Black Swans.
Yet mainstream news media still don't understand why they're hemorrhaging viewers.
CBS News should now only be written as CBS “News”.
Now would be a very good time to organize a boycott of "60 Minutes." What do you say, fellow #resisters?
Seeing as how I already do not watch "60 Minutes"... sure.
Someone put the segment on YouTube. Thank you.
📌
🤬 This is the confirmation I was waiting for. I wondered if CBS was bending the knee, cuz they advertised having a "brand new" news crew and then 60 MIN lost the director, and now this. Last night, I was hoping for more news on the fed. Instead...the Zydeco music seg. @CBS: YOU LOST MY RESPECT
Pathetic
Cowards.
Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the bowels of Hell, Jessie Helms rubs his hands in a brief moment of glee, then returns to his eternal damnation.
cowards
Hard hitting journalism. The real story. Waow.
The libruhl media.
Some of the names have changed, but CBS's then-CEO said before the 2016 election, "It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS...The money’s rolling in and this is fun...Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going."
Wendy McMahon's decision is looking better by the day.
Looking more like North Korea every day.
That's embarrassing
Full on dictatorship by yours truly DJ TRumP Impeach him or anyone who supports him vote them out or as Trump has said you wont have a country anymore. Again Trump warns the public of what he is doing blaming what he is doing on someone else. Operation Anti King CitizensImpeachment.com
Cowards
The last 100+ days have been one long display of how corruptible the capitalist in this country are. There is no doubt in my mind that there’s no line they won’t cross. They will gladly assist a tyrant if it protects their profit margins.
bsky.app/profile/wilh...
Never wonder why linear TV has been in a death spiral for decades.
More like C Booooo S… No but seriously, this is a terrible thing to do.
Do we have enemy of the people, Alex may I have enemy of the people for democracy ~~
🚨
Hmmm. No need to watch 60 minutes anymore.
I wondered why both CBS Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes both did features on New Orleans
Cajun music stories are apparently the US equivalent of Swan Lake.
CBS lost their integrity as a viable voice in news many years ago--starting with 60 Minutes and The Evening News.
Stop supporting @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @cbsnews.com @cbssportscbb.bsky.social @cbssports.bsky.social It’s nothing but unadulterated greed. They are telling us that they’re just as greedy as the Russian oligarchs and they dgaf about the American people, never mind our money keeps them in business
I thought better of CBS - absolutely sad!
Gosh, I wonder why. Fucking cowards.
From The House That Murrow Built to the Whorehouse that Shari Redstone Madams
60 minutes next week
Ooooh! Oh! Wow, that's a good one!
Just cancelled my Paramount Subscription.
Saw that segment. Would have rather seen the segment on the IRS. CBS is behaving cowardly. Why watch if it’s all going to be puff pieces?
Of course they did. They already surrendered. They should have all left.
bsky.app/profile/donj...
Shari Redstone has to know what the first line of her obituary is going to be, right?
Yes
"Another worthless Nepo-Baby"?
Huh I wonder which story was more important for everyday Americans to hear 🙉
Do you think they understand that this is making way more people aware of the job losses at the IRS than if they'd just let the interview air? Their need to control the narrative makes them lose more control every time.
CBS and Paramount have bowed to the fascists.
FOTUS' censorship is underway underway. We will know less about what the regime is doing going forward.
Join the head in the sand club
Absolutely shameful. Won't watch it anymore
Just a reminder that the CBC is free to access and while its editorial decisions aren't perfect it's not owned by a billionaire. If you're in the US and you want a less biased source for news on your own country it's often better than American sources.
Thank you!!
I watch it often.
Doing the obedience jig
lame
The video of this needs to be leaked and distributed far and wide…
This is another reason to stop watching it. Mike Wallace is rolling over in his grave at this.
Boycott CBS. Delete Paramount+
I gave up old nicktoons with my kid after the 60 Minutes producer quit.
I had just switched over to the CBS evening news when the Trump capitulation began. The head of CBSNEWS forced out..now, replacing a 60 Minutes story. Guess I'll go back to my old network. COWARDS.
Corporate OWNED media has a disturbingly corporatist (fascist) agenda. Follow its owners' money.
Down the memory hole and magically chocolate rations increased. Sumptuous day!
I’ve been watching 60 minutes since 1972 and I’m so so so disappointed!!!!
Everyone is in competition to hedge out Fox as Top State Media
cowards
If anyone left at 60 Minutes has any integrity they need to walk.
The fifth estate shudders in cowardice.
The link doesn’t point to the story. It links to a short paragraph that contains no details on why it was pulled.
I thought that Cajun music story was boring and pretty weak for the season finale...
Every single news org is now pushing modified/edited stories or removing stories they write on this administration due to their chilling tactics I will stop watching all of it, soon
This is what fascism looks like, folks
So America is at the stage of pulling news items that displease the regime and putting on Swan Lake instead
CBS is literally destroying the whole brand for this merger deal. Hope it was worth it.
Swan Bayou
Swan Swamp
Looks like the orange guy grabbed the p****** at CBS.😡
you could've replaced the phrase, "replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music." With, "because the Trump administration blinked first, announcing the rehiring of IRS probationary workers."
If you didn't watch John Oliver's show on T and media this weekend go watch it so you can understand why these giant corporations are bending the knee. youtu.be/07JQr5W3970?...
#BoycottCBS Major sellouts. CBS used to be a respected network. No more.
What the Hell, 60 Minutes???!!?!
Why would anyone watch that program?
Paramount needs new leadership
Yep. #BoycottParamount
What a pos network.
I’m so tired of these f’ing cowards. Home of the Brave my ass.
It’s going to be hard to endure football season while boycotting CBS, but sacrifices are necessary.
Shouldn't watch ABC, shouldn't watch CBS, can't watch any FOX, don't like NBC. What do I have left (I dont have cable, but that adds to my list)
www.propublica.org does good work too
Rolling Stone Wired Teen Vogue These three are still doing REAL journalism. Mainstream Media is finished, they are in the tank for Trump.
I’ll add: @404media.co @revealnews.org @waroncars.bsky.social @propublica.org @volts.wtf @boltsmag.org
Yup. And all 3 were adding staff, last I checked.
That's great to hear!
The Bulwark Press Progress Pod Save the World Pod Save the America
CBS , the network of Big Brother, is literally capitulating to Big Brother. 🤡🤡🤡
From the replies most people didn't read the article!
Fascist cowards.
Caving. We knew it would happen.
Canceled Paramount. Not sure it helps.
Good for you!!! I did too. We have to do something. Deciding where our money goes is important.
F’ CBS, it’s local affiliates, and more importantly the Shari redstone w#ore, putting her wealth over what used to be America.
!!!
It's past time to replace legacy media with independent journalism.
CBS is permanently off the air in my home.
That’s disappointing. I feel less and less comfortable in relying on cbsnews for my news going forward. If I want state news, I’ll watch Fox News. @cbsnews.com
We need to see that piece. Thousands of lives are being destroyed and $trillions in tax revenue is being lost, for no reason other than cruelty.
Streisand Effect pls
collaborationist backstabbing sycophants
Here we go. Stop watching this crap.
Oof, so the white hats over there totally lost. Sorry to hear it.
I’m done with 60 Minutes, any story they have on is going to be neutral or favorable to trump. Our country is circling the drain and the cower in subservience. @cbsnews.com
I agree with you 100%
Time to cancel Paramount streaming...
This and the story about the weapons bro shows the direction @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy and @60minutes.bsky.social is going. Cockwombles
They'll lose their viewer base. Sad.
Yes, they will lose their viewers just as the Washington Post lost over 250,000 subscribers within weeks after they pulled their endorsement of Kamala Harris. Nothing says “loser” like giving in to the #Buffoon’s regime.
Really, really makes me angry. They need to grow a pair. All of the media except the far right propaganda machines. We know what their agenda is.
The end of CBS News. Boycott 60 Minutes, Meet the Press, CBS Evening News, CBS Mornings, Sunday Morning shows.
My mistake. Boycott Face the Nation. However, NBC News’ Meet the Press is also a bad Sunday news program. Kristen Welker is the worst.
Welker wouldn't know how to ask a proper follow up question if you wrote it down for her.
Follow up questions on Meet the Press have been missing since Russert…he would allow Rice, Cheney and Rumsfeld to lie undisturbed with no follow up questions…it’s the MTP DNA🤷🏾♀️
I am tempted to postulate that the lack of concentration cq short attention span within children has reached the adults. From stochastic terrorism to stochastic journalism to stochastic fascism.
But by all means, encourage the little guys to resist and revolt.
And we go resist & revolt only to avoid dying in the same tainted light as the unprincipled scum that runs the country.
Always looked forward to CBS Sunday mornings fascinating and stimulating stories! and 60 minutes too! So sad I hate trump! Ruining my country…
Knees so raw
yeah that’ll do it
Whatta shame 60 MINS no longer has credibility. 57 here and lifelong viewer, sad Let’s see which of the staff journos stick around.
Nixon was born 50 years too early!
A modern day “Heidi” gaffe.
That scene in Good Night and Good Luck when the head of CBS calls Edward R. Murrow just before he goes on air to challenge Joseph McCarthy and says, "I'm with you now and I'm with you tomorrow." The people running CBS today might make a few more bucks now but they'll never wash the shame away.
And sadly, they don’t care They don’t GAF about America, the American people, and/or democracy They’re all there for the short money They’ll sell out the country as often and in any way needed to get that money Right @cbsnews.com?
Shameful
You think they're capable of shame? Punishment must come from outside because it'll never come from within.
I will never understand why they don’t care; why they want to be under government control
Money. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...
This how is happens. Soon it will just be trump stammering on every channel 24/7
What a bunch of wussies!
It's nice that we're hearing more about Cajun music, I guess. 🤔
Do not surrender in advance!
Nothing to see here!
Yella belly
Maybe @netflix.com should take over @60minutes.bsky.social as well?
Um, NO
🤬
CBS: Craven Bended-knee Sycophants
WTF is this place, did someone go back in time and move a rock and that's how we ended up with this timeline? Who was it?
It was Ronald Reagan,that's who.
Thst explains so much! It didn’t fit.
CBS is finished. Good bye.
Hope Stephen Colbert is polishing up his resume. He's going to be needing a new gig before long.
I thought this segment was rather odd, given all the chaos in the country. The downfall of CBS, and all in the pursuit of money.
I did too. In fact, I switched channels in the middle of it.
Same! Over to PBS, where I should have stayed in the first place.
Since the felon came down the escalator my go to station is PBS.
Same. I watch it almost exclusively.
All the journalists affiliated w it should resign in protest or something to send a message this is not ok or normal.
It’s an insult to Jourdan Thibodeaux, a good man who I had the opportunity to meet last summer, that they used him to cover for fascism
I guess CBS now stands for Cowardly Bastards Simping
😡😡😡😡😡
I worked for Sumner Redstone. Craven doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I understand it’s fascist censorship but be honest, which would you rather watch?
The story on IRS employees
Maybe they can go to Netflix with sesame street.
Damn
Making clear why Bill Owens left, I see.
WTF?!?
In light of the decision by #60Minutes to pull a story about #IRS employees - I am sharing this excellent story by @lastweektonight.com #JohnOliver with music from #MichaelBolton youtu.be/Nn_Zln_4pA8?...
I propose this for 60 Minutes next show: youtu.be/SHb-3oIAFTs?...
Cowards
Of course they did.
You lost me cbs.
Fuck right off cbs
Tyranny is brittle
Shari Redstone is the most useless dumbass in the history of dumbasses
Gheez, do better CBS!!
They're gone. Done. If they wanted to do better, that was their opportunity. There won't be any more chances for CBS
Shameful @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy sucks
Same energy In 1991, Soviet Citizens Saw Swans On The TV... And Knew It Meant Turmoil www.npr.org/2021/08/19/1...
@cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy All in service to a felon, a cheap carnival conman. You should just close up the shop.
cowards
Cowards!
The Soviets used Swan Lake but same diff
What could be more important than Cajun music? MAGA delenda est (et quo citius eo melius).
Government controlled media?
Pretty fucking much. Just like in Russia.
Cross Burning Station at it again
Imagine if American media had the balls to stand up to this dictator. If they'd have started in back in 2015 with the deep dive into a person's character they've done on every Democratic candidate. Imagine if right now they were calling him out and exposing his lies, corruption, and destruction.
I didn’t know and really enjoyed the segment on Cajun music and now I hope CBS falls into a black hole.
Coward Broadcasting Service
