CBS still could move into streaming with Paramount+, I just don’t see its brand as directly related to it. Maybe they need to rebrand CBS News and Paramount into something new. I’m not really sure what Skydance brings to the table other than movies. They don’t have a streaming service, they aren’t into news, so why does Paramount want them so badly? It all just seems dumb.
Now why would CBS be purging their ranks and potentially forcing people out? David Ellison. He is brother to Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle and a huge Trump supporter and donor. Maybe CBS is just looking for a friendly MAGA to cover them? I’m surprised you all did explore that connection.
Thanks for this. Also, I love a good movie quote. One that can be applied in many situations.
"I can't believe you ate the whole wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad."
The droll delivery of a paraphrase of that line by JVL- priceless. I have to have an uncomfortable conversation later today, so I am going the break the ice, as it were, with this one.
The maga's GOP plan for the future of America's youth is not the educate them but to indoctrinate them. To make education seem worthless is why they keep attacking the colleges. Especially the colleges they created attorneys. They want to control the attorneys are and therefore control who the judges are.
They put the head of the WWE in charge of education so they can strangle education and get the youth to join the military. They promote violence so the youth can carry out their violent urges by joining the military. They want control over the youth because they want control over the military. That would be the perfect direction for the incels and the youth who have no hope or direction.
The WWE rallies will soon be sending military recruiters there. Recruitment for the military has been decreasing over years and they want to stop that they want to increase the military so they can take over other countries by brute force. That's what all the talk about taking over Canada and Greenland is about. What the government needs are soldiers not educated individuals who still think, but soldiers who vow to listen to orders and commands and are ready to fight.
This is a very disturbing trend but a trend that has been happening for a long long time. The dumbing down of America.
This whole habeas corpus / due process thing has some tankie ACAB nihilists questioning… maybe there is a difference between the red and blue teams? But the fact that the leader of the SS himself, Tom Homan, worked for Obama is not doing me any favors, I gotta say.
The crumpling, craven sellout of CBS, once iconic Bulwark of truth in journalism. What a loss, what a blow. Where is Walter Cronkite when we still need him? Every media enterprise that shrinks itself, agreeing to become RT Lite, moves us closer to places like Orban's farcical version of media landscape.
There might not be any soft news in the future. Researchers are losing funding so any future breakthroughs will not be in the US, and God forbid that they credit another country with their successes.
The use of "Defrauded the American People" seems to be a direct reference to the Jan 6 case against Trump continuing his tradition of taking an attack on him and turning it around against someone else.

"We ain't going anywhere..." Oh, please, please, please, don't tempt fate!
Scary

Tim/JVL, As always great commentary. We appreciate all your laborious work on keeping us informed of the myriad of dangers we face as a society.

Fuck Paramount. We need to boycott all of it's businesses. ALL of them.
Tim, can't believe you are repping for King Pin, that is true NOLA and brings me back to may years living there!

I like the journalists at CBS. Hope they land somewhere else.
When will folks learn: APPEASEMENT NEVER WORK!!!
Never works?
What do you mean by “works” ?
Appeasement allows you to survive one more day in an autocracy.
Everyone bends the knee in an autocracy, some faster, some slower, but all eventually do.
Or you become a dissident. And you know what happens to them.
Please don’t try the “collective action” argument- that hasn’t worked in 60 years.
You pay one bribe and then it never ends.
