I doubt that the destruction of CBS was what they were really after.

She has managed that very nicely, though. Too bad.

My local AM news/talk radio station, WCCO, is switching its hourly news report to ABC. They have had CBS for five minutes at the top of each hour for as long as I can remember. Gone now, and for good. It was innocuous news. No politics. Just the top stories on the hour. ABC will do it just fine, no doubt, but I'm going to miss it.

Who listens to AM radio? Me. People like me. It's on all the time in the background. I tend to listen at the top of most hours, just to make sure I didn't miss some breaking story. I'll miss it, but ABC can do that, too, I suppose.

Bari Weiss has single-handedly wiped CBS off the top of the ratings. Who cares? Millions of people care. The TV is still on all over the USA. People still watch the national evening and morning news on their local CBS station. Or ABC or NBC. By the millions. The audience far exceeds the cable news audience, even now. Far exceeds!

until we got home.

No longer, I suppose.

Anyhow, 60 Minutes has been way watered down since Bari stepped in. Nice, feel-good stories. Not what it used to be at all.

"She has screwed up the job she was unqualified to hold"

Did she, though? Pretty sure her job was to destroy CBS News as a trusted source of information.

Mission Accomplished.

They would never have hired her if Biden hadn't done such a good job

in the Twin Cities is on the local CBS affiliate, WCCO. So, that's on and will stay on. We watch something else when the national news comes on. Local TV news on the broadcast channels has little to to with the Network. It's local. I don't want to punish WCCO for what corporate CBS does.

So, no. You can do that, though, if you like.

But I've switched to ABC for national. I tend to listen to AM 950 most the time but will switch to 'CCO for Twins games and weather.

Oversight or somesuch corporate drone position, as I understand. If owners keep deferring to her decisions, they will rue the day they decided to keep her around.

They still play the same FOX hate programs in the afternoon, though.

But WCCO isn't a right wing station so much. Tries to stay neutral.

I don’t know what is their next step, but destruction of a venerable institution is part and parcel with the American Taliban. And indeed, just like the Taliban, who destroyed priceless artifacts and historical relics in the Middle East, these troglodytes are willing to destroy things of value here in the USA.

They might know the price of a thing, but have no concept of the value of the thing.

No decision of his will be good for any institution. Hell only fuck up CBS more

instead of not hiring her in the first place because she is an ideologue, they did hire her because like her, the CEO of Paramount is a Trumper. This should never have been allowed to happen, but it reflects our culture, which encourages and rewards sociopathic behavior.

That is why she should never even have been hired, nor should the Paramount CEO. Trump is a loser because more people are waking up to his disgusting corruption and grift daily.

But, no.....no.....that is all fine. But she is impacting shareholder PROFITS, for God's sake! Why, losing money can't be allowed! We've got to get rid of Bari...

See what I mean. Sure, they will get rid of her, but for the wrong reasons.

She is diligently protecting our supreme baby leader from getting his feelings hurt, even if Mr Colbert never mentioned him by name.

There is no money in news.

Ratings are not important. What's important to them is that stories do not get exposed.
