I think we're looking at the start of the final implosion of traditional network, cable television programming. It's been in steady decline for years, and pretty much all every cable network now airs are reruns of older scripted shows, reality show crap, or something similar. Fewer and fewer of them show any new scripted shows anymore. Probably the only thing keeping cable from a total collapse is sports programming, and since it is now starting to leave for pay-per-view or streaming I don't expect that cable or network TV as we now know it will exist within another decade or so.

Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.In the email — which was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal — Alfonsi compares the decision to spike the story to the Jeffrey Wigand scandal. Jeffrey Wigand was a tobacco industry whistleblower whose interview was initially withheld by CBS in the 1990s over legal concerns, a decision that severely damaged the network’s credibility and became one of the most infamous episodes in broadcast journalism.Alfonsi writes that Weiss declined to speak with her about the decision.She also says the move was political rather than editorial.“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices,” Alfonsi wrote. “It is factually correct.”

Ah, “they are missing critical voices.” Like the voice of the authoritarian administration that has fought tooth and nail to silence its critics and hide all evidence of wrongdoing.

Yes, CBS is now just another mouthpiece for MAGA.

The story is missing those voices because the administration declined requests for comment. They don’t want to answer questions on the topic, but it’s quite a bonus for the story to be spiked entirely due to the absence of their comments.
 
It's amazing how these "alternative voice who just want us to snap out of our group think" all, every last one of them, 100% of the time, end up carrying the water for the Fascistic elements in our society today.

Almost like they weren't dealing straight to begin with. :unsure:

Bo-siders gonna Bo-side. These people are not petty annoyances. The are a huge part of the problem. They supply the grease that allows the Fascist machine to purr along.

They need to be called out and shamed everywhere they protrude into our public life.
 


Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I guess you could say she Bari'd the lede.
 
LOL. The segment was uploaded/released on whatever the GlobalTV App is that's owned by CBS/Paramount. Likely an oversight and the clip just autouploads or whatever for release. Anyway, here is the segment if anyone wants to watch. Unfortunately, it's filmed at an angle by a dude sitting on his couch.

I wonder if those that disagreed with my characterization of Trump’s immigration policies as “unAmerican and evil,” could watch that segment and still disagree.

Looks like they've already blocked it. CBS/Paramount wasted no time taking that one down - can't have the WH calling and complaining about critical stories!

Couldn’t YouTube have just been a little slow processing the copyright claim? Staffing is low due to the holiday season, claims will be processed in the order they were received.
