Bond was told not to criticize the president.

Many media outlets and corporations are risk-averse and don't want to take a stand against wrongdoing by those in power.

Same reason that Phil Donahue got fired and we ended up in the Iraq War. Later, politicians bemoaned the war. We might have stayed out if people like Donahue were allowed to speak the truth in the moment.
