It almost seems like they are trying to gear their evening news to people who are not too smart or seriously interested, and can't tell what is true from what is an "alternate truth".

Something I have noticed recently is that Scott MacFarlane has started doing his own reporting on BlueSky. His videos seem like he is trying to bypass Weiss. I am wondering if he will eventually jump ship.

Any REAL journalist should follow Scott MacFarlane's actions! CBS can no longer be trusted with the actual truth! They will bend their knees to our dictator-wannabe!

Not "will," Susan, "have."

Miss Alfonsi was a woman who does reporting by the book. The report about, migrants should have been released by CBS , Beri Weiss violated the 1 st Amendment to the Constitution.

CBS joined the line of once respectabe news sources in bending the knee and tossing their reputation on the garbage heap next to WashPost and NYT, among others. Once great icons of journalism were bought by oligarchs who determine headlines and which stories get amplified, some of the remaining good reporters don't get a say and I expect more to leave rather than tarnish their reputation. That whirring sound is Katherine Graham spinning in her grave.

Pardon my ignorance here, but in light of these Trump-friendly media mergers, do we still have anti-trust laws or regulations, or are they simply being ignored in MAGA land?

Ignored by Trump's appointees who are supposed to act in our interests.

That is a big joke, with an insulting anchor man. He is very biogeted.

I watch Berlin News which is on Channel 13 (NYC) or on your phone. It’s listed as DW. It’s the only tv news that is not censored.

That noise you hear is Walter Cronkite rolling over... and over... and over...

A friend got married on Nov. 23, 1963; I was one of her bridesmaids. Friday before the rehearsal and from Sunday morning until Monday afternoon, I was glued to CBS. I didn't change channels. Mr. Cronkite had it nailed.

Picture a 2025 image of Jack Ruby on Nov. 24: The caption says, "New Information Proves Jack Ruby Did NOT Shoot Lee Harvey Oswald. The gun Ruby carried was made of licorice. When he pointed it at Oswald, Oswald fainted from shock, cracked his skull on the floor, and died of a subdural hematoma. The hole in his chest? Fake news."

That's where we are in 2026, folks.

I am so done once Colbert is taken off. I just won't watch. Blow up your TV. Throw away your paper. Go to the country. Build you a home.....(John Prine)

They've lost me as a viewer! Their reputation is in the garbage can. Walter Cronkite and others of his caliber must be rolling in their graves! This is despicable! I can no longer watch 60 minutes with confidence in their truthfulness either. Bye bye, CBS!
