CBS News is currently facing backlash on social media after they posted what appeared to be an advertisement for “No Kings Day” protest merchandise to X on Friday, with users slamming the outlet for pushing the anti-Trump goods on the eve of a large-scale political protest.
Thousands of people are expected to rally in hundreds of cities across America on Saturday to protest the Trump administration and counter the president’s military parade in Washington, D.C. to mark the Army’s 250th birthday. Today is also Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the U.S. flag on June 14, 1777.
The counter-protesters are framing their demonstrations under the slogan “No Kings,” describing it as a “day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and his allies while others have been calling for the president to be “dethroned.”
Author and Senior Analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy, J. Michael Waller, slammed CBS news for marketing “radical merchandise on eve of nationwide protest/riot.”
Another X user, Bonchie, a writer for the conservative news outlet RedState, mocked the news outlet for “doing free advertisements for Chinese-made, left-wing protest merch.”
Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist and a Fox News contributor, criticized the liberal news outlet for “no longer even remotely pretending to be news” and for embracing its role as “Democrat propagandists.”
Another X user questioned whether CBS News “advertising merch for a political event” violates any Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines, slamming the outlet’s decision for being “highly unethical.”
