To think there were Freepers who actually believed the election of Trump 47 would shut down the MSM.

CBS lied against Trump and lied to help Harris.
What’s not to understand, CBS?

While CBS journalists are doing their jobs and covering the Trump administration assertively... Too bad they didn't cover the FJB administration "assertively."

Trump’s legally dubious lawsuit against CBSIf it were dubious CBS would want a trial, they don't.

a veteran CBS journalist said. “There’s a lot of fear about what happens...Here's what happens, you all lose your jobs because your ratings are in the dumpster because viewers don't watch news for Leftist activism.

Awwww. It's so sweet how CNN is coming to CBS' aid.
Kind of like how crabs try to help each other out of a pot of boiling water by dragging each other back into it.

Typical sloppy coverage of legal issues. “Legally dubious” isnt a term I’d use. The problem with his case is he has no damages. CBS will settle it to avoid embarrassment at trial and for political reasons, though, if no monetary damages are proven at trial, the result is a defense verdict

I think the most important aspect of the cauldron of CBS is not that it turned against the American people and is suffering for it, but that for all practical purposes, no one is noticing. Outside of the swamp, does anyone really care that CBS News is no longer relevant? It will be missed as much as, well, K-Mart, or the evening newspaper, or the local orchestra playing in the park on Sunday.

Can’t wait til they settle the lawsuit to see what Trump does with the money.

I don’t recall a lot of posts voicing the opinion that Trump was going to shut any media company down.
But I agree with MrRelevant completely that his election has exposed them so fully as the frauds they are, that a lot of people who might otherwise continued on as they had before, are viewing media content as suspect or untrustworthy.
And THAT is a good thing.
