Yeah. It's tempting to hit CBS/Bari/Tony for the edit, since there was all the hype about "transparency", but everyone cleans up a show for a later feed.

A new reporter has joined the CBS News Washington bureau. She comes from Reuters. Everyone can now speculate on her credentials:

Bari Weiss’ CBS clashed over how to cover transgender people | Advocate.com Bari Weiss’s CBS newsroom reportedly clashed over how to cover transgender people Apparently, Bari Weiss doesn't want to include the preferred language for trans advocates.

You're right there. Should be interesting to see the direction CBS goes and if viewers go along with it.
The opposite of what Bari is doing. Being on CBS carries a lot more weight than being on other networks. The Tiffany network, anyone? CBS has a star-studded line up of journalists others don’t have. If that changes, or with all of the changes already made, you risk losing your core viewers. As someone pointed out, the story that was pulled meant a lot more because it was pulled from 60 minutes. I never suspected CBS was ever “left” before Bari got there
Like having your new anchor unabashedly drool over the administration with “Marco Rubio, we salute you!” Moscow-level state media. It’s sickening. It’s pathetic. It’s the end of CBS as any type of serious, credible outlet.
Carried.
Now the Temu of networks.
That ship has sailed.
They weren’t. That’s just nonsensical propaganda repeated over and over by the right wing knuckle-draggers.
That nickname goes back to the 1960s. That came from its founder Bill Paley. He's been gone for over 30 years. As I've said, when people talk about CBS News, they bring up Murrow and Cronkite. Nobody brings up Katie Couric or Connie Chung. CBS Evening News has been in last place among broadcast networks for almost 20 years. TV networks have been losing audience for 30 years. Network newscasts have become examples of why broadcast TV is dying.
If people don't watch CBS News because of Bari Weiss, they have lots of other options. Or they can watch no news at all. That seems to be what the majority of people are doing.
Whether or not CBS News was "left-wing" depend(s) on the mind of the critic reviewing it. It's a framing issue, and the people doing the framing now (members of the current Federal administration and their allies) are arguing that anything that doesn't tout the Administration line without criticism (or even letting critics on the air) is leftwing even if it comes from Rupert Murdock's own Fox News. I am therefore learning to no longer trust the framers.
The right has had their sights turned on CBS since former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg wrote his supposed tell-all, Bias, almost 24 years ago:
Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News
Let's get right to the point. Bernard Goldberg's "Bias" could have been -- no, <I>should</I> have been -- a valuable critique of the way television news presents information to the American public. Instead, it's a waste of an important opportunity to provide a real public service.

I read the book at the time, and Bernie was clearly auditioning for a gig at FOX News...it took seven years, but they finally gave it to him.
World News with David Muir is the #1 show in all of linear televsion with 7-8 million viewers a night.
Meanwhile, the CBS News Sunday morning talk show Face The Nation was #1 this past week:

However, before you celebrate, only 3 million people watched. That is 3 million out of over 300 million.
The show featured the secretary of state basically trying to walk back everything his boss has been saying about Venezuela.

"60 Minutes" loses 5 million viewers after CECOT segment scandal
Viewership fell from 10.35 million to 4.89 million week over week, with sharp declines in the key A18-49 demographic.

Here is the current ratings for 60 Minutes.
While they deserve every single lost viewer and then some, a comparison to the mid-holiday weekend is not meaningful. As the normal overall viewing patterns return, a better comparison will be available.
They were on a low hill below I thought. I remember the media had a circular firing squad at Bernie Sanders' campaign about a decade ago during the primary against Hillary and Washington Post at one point ran a lot of hit pieces in just a 24 hour window right before an important vote. Not sure how CBS themselves fared, but other sources were very slanted.
Y’know I wouldn’t be hurt if the Netflix-WBD deal went through. I’d rather have Zaslav run CNN over Ellison
CNN is getting spun off
So many New York Times articles and opinion pieces included "How this is bad for Democrats" in the headline that it became a meme on social media.
I'm guessing in years time, there will be a lot of documentaries and specials about that subject, but even now is too soon.
I didn't think about that and for the first time since Christmas music ended, I should have been able to yesterday. I just didn't happen to be in the car at the right time.
But when it was still playing 60s and 70s instead of mostly 80s, another station was doing Fox News and I didn't hear bias. Maybe it won't affect the radio news.
