part of this renovation.

In other words, he called the piece of garbage that is in the WH out as a liar, without of course using those words.

tRump named a dollar figure higher than is actual.
Powell checked tRump's cheat sheet and said that's another building.
tRump said it's part of the project.
Powell said it's finished.
tRump tried to reassert his point.
Powell said it was finished five years ago (which means it completed while tRump was running his 1.0 regime).

As I posted a few hours earlier, we watched the CBS Evening News yesterday and CBS clipped the video of Trump and Powell so they did not show Powell replying that Trump was adding in the cost of a third building completed several years ago. Misleading editing (if i want to be charitable)!

and it was on 60 Minutes when they manipulated the context of some Ron DeSantis remarks. It irritated me greatly because the resulting fallout only lent ammo to the cries of victimhood from the right. It was sloppy and stupid.

not this latest thing. The editorial bit I mentioned was "sloppy" in that they assumed no one would catch it when the raw footage would have been widely available beyond their newsroom.

I think this latest CBS development will taint their news reputation for generations. I don't know if they can ever recover from it. Ironic that "Goodnight and Good Luck" just ended a Broadway run.

He is dealing with a madman and he has to negotiate fiscal responsibility

what a shame

And now that Ellison owns them, it will probably follow the trail of Fux Nooze. I will watch the remaining Colbert shorts on youtube and that's all.

His father, Larry Ellison is a major Dump supporter and also helped bankroll the deal.

you can read about David here:

and started sucking up to Dump. Add to that Skydance's plans to change the direction of news and it makes the whole thing suspect. News is facts. There is no direction other than reporting what is happening. People need to take the power away from any organization that doesn't have independent news divisions by not watching them. If I'm wrong, then I'll admit it. After seeing they way they are treating their current talent, I don't think I am.

I hope their audience gets the memo.

And fuck MAGA

things believing that's what their viewers want to hear.

Contrariness is not my thing; I'm being sincere.

To me, Deadline WH is the prime example.

I believe fear-mongering and hate-mongering is FoxNews business model because viewers become addicted to it and keep watching it to get their next fix.

I think MSNBC uses the same tactics for the same reasons although not to the extent of FoxNews.

We are all watching the fascists steamroll over our nation. Fear can motivate resistance and urgency.

(But I think all is already lost.)

Read about the Palmer raids if the 1920s, the America First movement if the 1930s, the anti- socialism pushback against the New Deal in the and anti- Communist hysteria of the late 1930s to the mid 1950s.

Other than that, a total boycott here.

during WW II..............Walter Cronkite didn't cry when he reported the death of John Kennedy...........

ratings declined significantly, culminating in the discontinuation of its news/talk format and one of the lowest rating radio stations in the Bay Area.

Before that take over the KGO format had a diversity of viewpoints.

Cumulus removed all the liberal hosts, which is all you need to know about Cumulus. The SF Bay Area is one of the most progressive in the country.

It doesn’t take rocket science to see why their ratings dropped.

It will be interesting to see what happens to CBS.

See B S / Paramount para fascist, I am

BBC presently partner with CBS and PBS/NPR for their news gathering in the USA. They used to partner with ABC, who now partner with ITN (Independent Television News - make news for ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5). Sky partners with NBC/MSNBC, because they have the same parent company.

Thanks Bill.

for some perspective from the late 1930s to mid 1950s.

We can play that game too.

I recently read about VT, MI and WI nullification laws in response to the Fugitive Slave Act. Hypocritical southern states could say little as they were and are nullifiers too. Time to start that again. Do what we want and tell DC to go fuck themselves.

As for CBS news, once again, I'm ahead of the curve. I haven't watched a network news program in years. Weird since Walter Cronkite was a regular at our dinner table growing up. Network news sure as shit isn't what it use to be.

sourced, documented and confirmed journalism. The parent companies need to stand up. Now.

because s/he is doing a bang-up job of doing it.

It will be interesting to see if this is a feature or a bug.

As for CBS, which is Channel 4 in Denver, the news changed their introduction and ads to "Colorado First" during Trump's first presidency and, when I actually watch the news, my goto is Channel 9 (NBC).

Fuck them!

Everyone too young to have understood that moment... well... they've revised history so much I don't know where to start.

I just need like a 30 min heads up so I can do my hair
