What the Hell Is Wrong With CBS News?

The weekendus horribilis (with apologies to anyone who actually knows Latin) at CBS News was a marvel to behold, as though division chief Wendy McMahon had spent days carefully laying a field full of rakes before donning clown shoes and dancing across the field to Ricky Martin's "Livin’ la Vida Loca."
As I'm sure you're already aware, things kicked off Sunday morning with the social media backlash — I need a better, happier word than "backlash" — to "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan insisting to SecState Marco Rubio that the problem with the Nazis was all their free speech.
PJ's own Sarah Anderson had that story for you in near real-time yesterday, but let me give you a brief rundown. Vice President JD Vance's European address defending free speech was given "in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide," is a thing Brennan actually said out loud on network television, perhaps because she lost a bet.
Sarah still has all the gory details in case you missed it yesterday.
Today, Victoria Taft nailed it with her column, echoing the principal in "Billy Madison."

"Margaret," Rubio could have said, "What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it."

They don’t see eugenics as being bad, they see free speech as eveil because it allows people to say things they disagree with

CBS is CBS and hasn't changed its actions and philosophies one bit since the 1930s...

As far as the headline at first blush, I’d say a LOT!!

And the crime stats awaiting them upon birth, and those who wanted them aborted will do everything they can in order to enslave and ensnare them from birth to death in the crime stats.
Look at the push to decriminalize shoplifting.
The excuses made, the tear jerk wails etc.
Pretty insidious.
And schools no longer teach people how to reason, they teach WHAT to “reason”, so they reinforce the mentality they’ve brainwashed them into.

Their point was if there had been speech police to prevent t he Nazi’s from saying Nazi things, then the Nazi’s would have failed. IOW, we need speech police to keep MAGA in line.

DemocRats have become parodies of themselves as they automatically oppose EVERYTHING that Trump does, even when his decisions have the vast majority of support from the people.

There were hate speech laws in Germany. Brennan was referencing the Weimar Fallacy and apparently believes it.

What difference does it make?
The Germans knew what they were voting for.

This network tried to sell off fake Bush NG docs 20 years ago and nothing has changed. They edited Kamalas softball interview just last fall.
To: BenLurkin
What difference does it make? A lot. Hate speech laws stopped anyone from telling the truth about Nazis and the laws were enforced. Watch the video.
