There's an item out there saying the ELLISON father and son are en route to buy CNN and other outlets on the scale of the MURDOCH empire.

CBS News Loses ‘Evening News’ Co-Anchor John Dickerson as Bari Weiss Charts New Course for Network
Dickerson said on Monday he was “extremely grateful” for his 16 years at the network

“CBS Evening News” co-anchor John Dickerson said on Monday he would leave the network in December, signaling the start of a refresh at CBS News as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss revamps its programming.

Dickerson’s exit marks the first high-profile talent departure from the network since Weiss took hold of the network earlier this month. Dickerson joined the network in 2009, becoming the co-host of “Evening News” earlier this year alongside Maurice DuBois. ....

A CBS News spokesperson did not respond to a query seeking comment from Weiss. Dickerson’s announcement comes weeks after the news organization’s head of standards, Claudia Milne, said she would leave the network. ....

Dickerson’s tenure at the network has touched on nearly all of its marquee programs, including “60 Minutes,” “Face the Nation” and its one-time morning show “CBS This Morning.” He also became a prominent steward of its political coverage, hosting multiple primary debates during the 2016 election cycle and interviewing multiple presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. ....

1. I was expecting that.

What's going on at CBS is very disconcerting. CBS is kowtowing before the Emperor, for sure.

2. The Corrupt Broadcasting System

3. He has too much of a conscience

I saw a promo for 60 Minutes where they were going to have segment on a “mentalist.” CBS news will become more and more unserious to keep Trump happy.

4. No surprise. Bari will sink that network in no time.

7. Few watch anything "CBS News" now...except for 60 Minutes

Weiss thinks she can crack the code to get back viewers to Morning, Evening News, Face the Nation. Yeah, I'm rooting AGAINST her. She'll flop---but have a golden parachute when it does.

I serioulsy can't watch 60 Minutes now without a filter of "who in the Trump Admin. wanted this segment and who are they leaving out" Positive stories about progressive causes, elected officials or candidates?? Forget about it.

5. The media is moving towards nothing more than "catch & kill" stories for trump/gop.

Damaging news stories about trump/republicans will be buried, while anti-dem news will be blasted to the heavens. Kinda like the 700 Club!

Right now, even TikTok will soon be GopTok. Won't be long before "Bluesky" is toast as well.

6. The more I learn about Larry Ellison, the more I think he's one of the absolute worst human beings on earth.

Fuck him and fuck Bari Weiss too!
