CBS has become state regime media.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

🧑‍🌾 SPOTTED in Jackson County, Wisconsin…

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

Shameful.

"A new chart showing month-to-month changes to the job market since November 2020, when Trump lost his reelection bid to Biden. "The red columns show the months in which Trump was in the White House, while the blue columns reflect Biden’s term." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump, Sept. 20, in reference to Erik Siebert, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia: “He didn’t quit, I fired him!” Trump’s deputy AG, three months later: Siebert wasn’t fired, he quit. These guys keep assuming that we all have bad memories.

What a shameful question. First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES. Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean? CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

Even more fitting

President Donald Trump came to North Carolina on Friday to talk about the economy. He ended up explaining how his wife organizes her lingerie drawer.

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

A recent modeling study in JAMA showed that if MMR vaccine rates drop 10% (easy to see happen with this), we’re back to 400,000-500,000 cases a year. Our current outbreak is 2,000. This turns the clock back to 1950 🚨🚨🚨

Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse. He wants his depo tape made public - no again. The second strike boat video? - nope. Epstein files law complied with? - not today. Vote on ACA? - maybe next year. Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

"May have to be approved by Congress" May? Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

Surprise! It’s another scam!

“It’s pretty rich they’re calling this THINGS THAT MATTER... It should really be called, things Bari Weiss wants to lecture America about. And after the first so-called Town Hall, it’s pretty clear America doesn’t want to be lectured at by Bari Weiss.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

A federal judge nominee admitted today that he said during a sermon that disabled people shouldn't get married. As I wrote for @motherjones.com, in fact, many can't out of risk of losing their benefits. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump: “One year ago, our country was dead!” The Economist, one year ago:

Right-wing figures are escalating their calls for violence to free Tina Peters, the Colorado election denier serving a nine-year state prison sentence for her role in a voting system data breach. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Inflation is so bad in Trump’s economy that the cost of his ballroom went from $200 million to $400 million in 6 months.

Just when you think Trump can’t sink any lower… Rob Reiner and his talented wife Michele were friends of ours. We collaborated on projects. Brad and I are devastated. We are in shock and grief. Sure, Rob opposed Trump, but this is so beyond the pale.

I just want to once again congratulate every business and media outlet who tripped over their own dicks to take right-wing outrage in uncritical good faith and ruin peoples’ careers over extremely tame internet comments about Charlie Kirk 48 hours before immediately forgetting he ever existed.

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

More sanewashing. This isn't journalism. CNN is doing PR for a fascist president.

@cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy so embarrassing for you- a once trusted news source, now just the tv version of the national enquirerer.

25 posts in 3 days from CBS featuring Bari Weiss with Erika Kirk. Or maybe Erika Kirk with Bari Weiss - it’s hard to tell who was supposed to be the one featured in all this.

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

Of course, normal handshakes don't involve the back of your hand in any way, shape, or form, so this is an obvious lie even by Trumpian standards. What health issue does Trump have that the White House is so desperate to cover up?

All I want for Xmas. 🙏

Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina. In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination. These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void. @msnowreports.bsky.social

WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys? GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

Trump again claims there is “no inflation” and also wonders why he doesn’t get high poll number for his handling of the economy

Either Kristi Noem is perjuring herself or she has no idea what’s happening in her own department. Not sure what’s worse.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Don’t look away. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

Ellison is also part of the consortium who purchased and is poised to control TikTok in the United States. This isn’t only about “conservatism.” This is also about a concerted effort to create a pro-Israel narrative landscape across media modes and platforms.

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States having absolutely no idea who he is pardoning, nor why.

Like QAnon, the election denial movement cannot exist if it ever finds the smoking gun of the 2020 election. Therefore, the evidence must always be just over the horizon — a movement that feeds off itself to live.

The very real problem Republicans have right is there are zero adults around Trump right now. It's Loomers all the way down.

I’m confused Is Duffy suggesting we’re supposed to work out in the fine clothing he now wants us all to wear to the airport

Community Note strikes again!

JUST IN: U.S. ground beef prices just hit their highest level ever. Great job, Donald

JUST IN: Trump lashes out at Rep. Henry Cuellar, whom he recently pardoned after bribery charges, accusing him of a “Lack of loyalty” for running for reelection as a Democrat instead of switching to the GOP
