Goodbye Cronkite. Hello Trump.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Forget Bari Weiss. Ignore David Ellison and his zillionaire father, Larry. Tony Dukoupil? Please. Donald Trump is the one calling the shots at CBS News.

With stunning speed, the storied mainstream news network jettisoned editorial independence, reputation, and hard-earned trust. To make Trump happy, CBS now behaves more like state-TV in Russia, Iran, and North Korea where a government strongman controls the message. Yes, Fox, Newsmax, Twitter and other MAGA media outlets are also proudly spewing Trump propaganda 24/7. But now it’s quickly and intentionally becoming a part of CBS News, too. Recent examples abound:

Putting a Trump-friendly, unverified story out about ‘internal bleeding’ injuries to the ICE officer who shot Renee Good.

Agreeing not to edit a Trump interview after being threatened with a lawsuit (and leaving news coverage of that threat to other news outlets)

It won’t stop there.
