" Those of us who have worked in legacy media organizations have a pretty good idea why the so-called “mainstream press” has lost so much of its credibility. They ignore politically inconvenient stories. They rewrite history to suit the needs of the present. They punish wrongthinkers. And they promote ideology at the expense of reality.

But for those who still had any remaining doubt, the news out of CBS this week has gone a long way toward answering that question.

Over the past few days, we’ve reported on:

CBS News admonishing one of its top journalists, Tony Dokoupil, for the crime of asking tough questions in an interview.

Shari Redstone, the majority shareholder in CBS’s parent company Paramount, criticizing the network’s executives for their handling of Dokoupil’s interview and its aftermath.

The network’s director of standards and practice ordering CBS journalists to avoid referring to Jerusalem as being “in Israel.”

And cautioning reporters—as Israel’s dead were still being counted on October 8, 2023—against referring to Hamas terrorists as terrorists."


60 plus years of respect for 60 minutes', destroyed. I will no longer even tape it, sad.
