CBS is about to be a complete arm of the regime's propaganda. They're following the Hitler/Mussolini playbook step by step.
Yet Lemmyists keep citing it as a news source. CBS should be banned as much as humanly possible in as many places as humanly possible.
No I don't think it should be banned, but should be openly challenged when it makes crazy claims. There are still hundreds/thousands of solid reporters there so not everything is overtly propagandized (yet). Each piece of information should be critically received.
Mainstream media has lost all its credibility. It had been hemorrhaging for at least a decade, but the Gaza genocide was the last blow. Even my boomer mom is sick of American broadcast TV news and calls it propaganda.
Watch the movie "Network" with Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch, and William Holden
It went from being a cutting edge satire to a quaint docudrama in real time.
Same for "Her" with Scarlett Johansen and "SimOne" with Al Pacino
People used to laugh at Network. Now they just nod sadly and say "yeah".
Idiocracy has entered the chat.
By any standard, Camacho was a better leader than Trump
Yet another reason not to watch broadcast news.
though several stressed they wanted to wait to see what it would really mean for their network – and themselves.
Aw. Hon.
The unusual structure built around Weiss’s new position has also raised eyebrows. She will report directly to Ellison, rather than Cibrowski or George Cheeks, who leads Paramount’s TV business.
“It is still unclear to me how she is going to actually work,” a former CBS News insider said. “I am not sure there is any other network that has this structure. It is unclear to me … exactly how she is going to wield this power.”
Well it's definitely going to be a trainwreck. There's going to be huge embarrassment all around, and people will be leaping out of the windows by New Year's.
Billionaires are so goddamned dumb.
“Ruling by edict from the top won’t be enough to change things,” the person said. “She’ll need lieutenants in the trenches cracking whips over our heads.”
Weiss, in her own memo to CBS News staffers, said she plans to spend the next few days and weeks getting to know them. “I want to hear from you about what’s working, what isn’t, and your thoughts on how we can make CBS News the most trusted news organization in America and the world.”
Ending on a magnanimous note, Weiss wrote: “I’m profoundly honored to join you – and I can’t wait to get started.”
You're not joining anyone. This billionaire fuckwit just bought these people and handed them to you. Basic organizational communications is already gone. You're fucked either way.
Sort of reminds me when John Bolton was made UN ambassador. At least he already had a drinking problem. This woman hasn't even had her face lifted yet.
What hasn't been working? Giving talking space to right wing extremists and withholding context instead of unbridled information due to fears of being considered partisan. But I doubt that's what they're going to be fixing.
Billionaires don't buy media to make a profit. If they ruin their reputation with half their audience, but get to disrupt a pathway to mainstream criticism while also still smuggling through propaganda for the ones who stay, that's a good investment.
Well yeah. And that’s been the case since at least the 50s, and despite the overwhelming blatant obviousness of it, mass media studies still regularly report media has no effect on its audience/victims. Because to question that is to undermine it. God, can you just imagine a world where people weren’t influenced to consume or react to various stimuli? It’d be mayhem!
Another Zionist forcing propaganda down our throats.
Has anyone watched the CBS Evening News lately with John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois? They are pathetic.
