That is what CBS wants because it serves Trump and his backers.

CBS Sunday show with Marg Brennan was the best one every Sunday.   Now.... to hell with them

The letter that the CECOT show reporter wrote was something.

By cancelling it did they draw more attention to it?

they are probably correct that they will pay no price for this

incredible power move by Weiss, a grifter who amassed fame, money and power by constantly saying she was cancelled (while working for the NYT, publishing books and creating her own media company) to make this hypocritical cancel culture move, and she will be rewarded for it probably. I see some other journalists (effing institutionalists) who ran cover for her when she was appointed (in part because she was a woman) are now silent.

MAGA: yes! you have fallen in line, but tomorrow will be another test for your loyalty

Dems: that's awful but we cannot do anything about it because of norms

Other third of Americans: declines to look up from their phones to learn who the current VP is

But to the extent that this story will move the needle in any way…. I see no difference between airing it and shutting it down and letting the uproar be the story.  That obviously wasn’t her strategy.  But we don’t need any more stories to understand how awful these people are.  The symbolism stinks for sure.

Pretty sure the new CBS sees this as a benefit. Gives them a chance to clear out the “traitors” and replace them with “patriots”.

If the other two networks have the balls, they should promote their own news integrity by highlighting this hypocrisy.

everyone should make a copy. Admin will find ways to threaten any server that keeps it up.

Want to bet that this is a bit of malicious compliance on the part of a CBS staffer or two?  No one happened to tell her that copies of the original programming had already been sent out to other streaming services for next day availability
