This On-Target video by Steven Beschloss and me examines how CBS News, a legendary news operation that has served the nation well, has been turned into a lapdog for the Trump regime under the ownership of the Ellison family. CBS News’ editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, pulled a report on Trump sending U.S. residents to a torture prison in El Salvador, and the early performance of new evening news anchor Tony Dokoupil is not encouraging, as a sharp Variety story explains.
