"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez torched CBS News Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss after reports surfaced that she allegedly let Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu select his interviewer for last weekend’s '60 Minutes' segment. Ocasio-Cortez called into question Weiss’s journalistic integrity":

The Monster They Made (Part 1)
The coup did not sow the seeds for the Islamic Revolution. It constructed the machinery. SAVAK liquidated every secular democrat who might have led a modern Iran. The mosque was left standing because it was the one institution the secret police found too difficult to penetrate. Every morning the Australian media tells us the bombing is regrettable but the regime is monstrous. It does not explain who built the regime.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/05/15/the-monster-they-made-part-1/

Christiane Amanpour: “What’s happening at CBS News (after it was bought by David Ellison’s Paramount): it is hemorrhaging viewers, and probably hemorrhaging money. This is an ideological realignment of CBS and the destruction, potentially of 60 Minutes. I would like to think that we would have the very basic, which is editorial independence. I’m hoping for that.”

@ChrisMayLA6 The issue that remains, and one that Labour and Conservatives are responsible for, is the failure to end the abuse of the media. Its coverage serves as a parasite maximalising the extraction of capital. It does that by amplifying the rights of those who benefit from inequality and injustice, hence the gaslighting and projection of Reform! #MediaBias

"Global press freedom falls to lowest level in 25 years ... The United States, received a 'problematic' rating and has dropped seven places to 64th, between Botswana and Panama":

What happened to #CBSnews is an example of the loss of press freedom in the United States. Soon after getting a new owner, it changed from being independent to having a pro-Trump bias.

The Washington Post is increasingly biased and hypocritical. Alex Taliadoros wrote: "The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a 'power grab that plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss'.”

"CBS is poised to be another unapologetic right wing propaganda network like Fox News. Potentially worse, if David Ellison can find a way to tether his CBS and CNN vision to TikTok, which he also just happened to buy a major stake in":

Joe Kernen, working for CNBC, began a question for Donald Trump with the words:
"I know how much you respect and admire and are concerned with the Iranian people ..."Gerard Baker added: "Aside from threatening to end their civilization,
remind us how much you love the Iranians.“ #MediaBias #politics -
JJ Abbott: "The latest Bari Weiss scandal is #CBSnews (which she oversees) interviewing Sen. Dave McCormick about the benefits of #AI and data centers without mentioning that his wife works at Meta promoting AI."

Norm Eisen: "A newspaper columnist signed a letter opposing the Paramount merger. Paramount then pulled all of its advertising from his publication. That's the Ellisons' vision for a #FreePress. A free press isn't a perk of democracy — it's the whole thing."

The newly biased and recently (allegedly) corrupted #CBSnews, in the words of Michael Calderone: "invited Pete Hegseth to a press dinner in celebration of the First Amendment" known as the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
I have no respect for the biased people who are running #CBSnews.

And #apnews still frames it as Israel's war against 'insert resistance faction' here, instead of the expansionist agenda they are advancing whenever they think they can get away with it.

CBS News has newly installed extremist management that is not typical of the media in general. More evidence of the pro-Republican bias of #CBSnews is the fact that CBS News invited Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to be its guest at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. This year's dinner will be duller than earlier dinners which featured performances by comedians who said funny things about American president. #MediaBias

Paul Rudnick wrote: "Bari Weiss just announced she is rebranding 60 Minutes as a home shopping channel selling only Trump-themed goods, calling it 'common sense #journalism', co-hosted by her BFFs Stephen and Katie Miller and offering plastic trophies, MAGA hats, and the body parts of foreigners."
Considering the past decisions of Bari Weiss, this could really be true. You never know. #media #MediaBias -
The new "Do you condemn Hamas?" is going to be " Do you agree that Oct 7th was uniquely evil?"
Watch for it.

This Washington Post editorial shows how far the Washington Post has fallen.
Editorial: "US cut aid to Africa. The continent proved resilient. The abrupt change was messy, but forced governments to reform fast."
Karen Attiah: "I used to write some of their editorials. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as 'messy' is an absolute abomination."

Marc Elias reminded people that a little more than one year ago, the Washington Post greeted Pam Bondi's nomination with these words: "Florida's former attorney general is qualified. Lawyers who have worked with her report that she is serious."
After that, the reputations of both Pam Bondi and the Washington Post became much worse.

Well this is quite the headline:
"Doctors lose new jobs package as strike to go ahead"
No, they didn't "lose" it. Looking down the back of the sofa will not help.
The government made an active decision to take new jobs away from junior doctors.
This surely puts an end to any possibility of believing that Starmer's government wants to fix the NHS.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows. Kati Tur works for MSNOW (not pro-Trump) and her husband Tony Dokoupil is the host of CBS Evening News (too pro-Trump), which many viewers stopped watching. He slants the news as if he is part of the Trump Administration. Read all about it:

A former coworker said: "I always thought he had so much integrity. I would never think that he would be, like, a mouthpiece for the state."

"Direct attack on press freedom"
Why, hello world! Israel has killed more journalists in Gaza during the ongoing genocide than in all other conflicts combined. And its doing the same in Lebanon now.
But a CNN crew? That crosses "every line".
