It can't be much fun working at CBS News these days, as their overwhelming liberal bias keeps getting exposed in embarrassing ways and they keep having to pay the price. Already, "60 Minutes" veteran producer Bill Owens resigned in a huff in April, and they’re in settlement talks with Donald Trump over their deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview just before the November presidential election.
The latest casualty is the outlet’s News President Wendy McMahon, who shocked staffers Monday when she announced she too is jumping ship..
Ms. McMahon, whose full title was president of CBS News and Stations, said in a memo that “it’s become clear the company and I do not agree on the path forward.”
Tensions between Ms. McMahon and CBS’s parent company, Paramount, have simmered for months, a period that Ms. McMahon described in her memo as “challenging.”
It must be very “challenging” indeed when the corporate bosses demand that you stop misleading the public all the time.

CBS News Chief has RESIGNED amid President Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit
The fake news is crumbling before our eyes 🔥
Trump sued CBS after they deceptively edited a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris
...
the network has a long history of extreme bias, but things really came to a head after the Kamala interview disaster:
CBS News has a history of dishonest reporting, and Donald Trump called them out on it. He sued the outlet for $10 billion (later raised to 20) over their deceptive edits of an interview with Kamala Harris before the ’24 presidential election. In one version, she rambled on in one of her typical word salads, but in another, they spliced clips together to make her sound coherent and intelligent. Since we know she is neither, it was a clearly cynical effort to affect the minds of voters.
Now it’s time to pay up.
...
another one bites the dust at CBS News. They thoroughly earned this ongoing humiliation, however, so I shed not a single tear for them.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
She got to “leave” rather than being fired.
That network needs to do Bud Lite commercials. The money would start pouring in.
A $20 Billion lawsuit can ruin your entire day.
The FBI can still go after them for participation in collusion hoax, COVID hoax and so many more. They can run, but they can’t hide.
So she being a complete democrat plant refused to even tone it down a bit while they were being sued...says more about her...
Dan Rather has entered the chat.
The leftist political activism is costing the parent company serious dollars, so much so that it finally got their attention now that they want to sell.
Ever since Walter Cronkite lied about Tet in 1968.

It’s clear that the company thought it was the one who should be deciding on the “path forward.”
Cronkite was a traitor to America / a hero to the Marxists
Good afternoon Walter its been a while :-)
Hope things have been well for you.
This fake journalism goes back way further than Tet. This whole idea of promoting leftism while using a mask of objectivity to bolster progressive viewpoints was pioneered by Walter Lippmann. He wrote one of the main blueprints for it in 1922 with his work “Public Opinion”.

From the effects of only certain information on people, to stereotypes and more, this book is the tell-all.

It warms my heart that the Fake News ship Dan Rather and 60 Minutes built is sinking and will soon find its eternal resting place in Davy Jones' Locker. Sure, the new owners may keep up the façade of CBS News alive, but it will soon become the Newsweak of the former mainstream TV networks. We shouldn't be surprised. The steady advance of social media doomed Fake News. The Left-leaning types who once watched CBS News and MSNBC have migrated to Instagram, a great echo chamber where you can instantly find stories and videos that appeal to your political taste. And you can be sure that Orwell's Facebook is selling your personal preferences in return for directing your own personal puppet show. OBEY! What makes FR great is you gain "cred" by your ability to reason and cut to the chase on issues of the day. A FReeper stands on his or her own two feet because the history of your comments is public. And there's always a Humble Gunner or two ready to debate you when your reasoning powers fail to cut the mustard. Free Republic is one of the finest tools invented for We the People. |
CBS bias goes back to the commie propagandist Walter Cronkite who lied outright about the 1968 Try offensive. The VC and NVA had been decimated during the failed offensive. Ho Chi Minh and General Giap were discussing how to get favorable peace terms. They watched Cronkite tell the world that the offensive was proof that the US couldn’t win. Ho knew then and there that eventually the US press and the Democrats would give him the win. The Democrats in 1975 refused to support the South and it was over. Cronkite and CBS were/are evil lying commie filth.
Tet Offensive. Effing autocorrect
Remember that bailot softball “ interview” with the Clintons when Bill was in hot water over his numerous affairs
It is absolutely equivalent to THIS SITE bringing down Dan Rather and LEGACY MEDIA for all time.
We harpooned the whale in 2004; 21 years later, the whale resigned before she could be harpooned. #TOTALWINNING #BUCKHEADRULES
What he skipped over was that the US made this knowledge part of their best effort to end the war asap while in reality, at that point, unfortunately the Communists were calling the shots (thanks you decrepit pos pre-Biden FDR-at-Malta), after the Soviets had 'liberated' Majdanek summer of '44.
Stalin didn't give a rat's ass, he had bigger prison kampfs at home! LOFL!
BTW Peacenik Walter fired on German fighters as part of the Writing 69th.
Then Kronkkite went to Vietnam and was determined to stop it, even if it aligned him with the Communists.
There is a well-known CBS anchor still with us who 'disagreed' with Kronkkite but could not dissuade him, as CBS News president was Richard Salant, Kronkkite's main supporter who was conveniently also a hardcore Leftist, really the first McGovernick -- and that's how Rather got into Vietnam as well.
