While no one was paying any attention, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shut down. CPB dispensed funding to local PBS and NPR stations where actual news was being presented in long form discussions.
 
And meanwhile Bari must be scrambling over at CBS.

She frankly says that they aren't chasing the network news audience...they are obviously pivoting to try to capture a slice of the FOX crowd.

So will it work? Or does CBS lose its key demo who don't want a Fox-lite news department.

Her schtick about investigative scoops is risible after she shit the bed on the 60 minutes piece...if every one of her 'scoops' is going to have to have TrumpCo. approval and 'equal time' input before airing...CBS will be lagging way behind the stories and the news can't all be long 60 minutes in-depth pieces because viewers will tune out. As it is, I expect they will try to add TrumpCo. flaks to be commentators on the news and gradually end up with people yelling at one another.

No one with any integrity or ambition to be recognized for their work is going to work for her for very long. She is a hack blogger not a news network executive.

Bari Weiss Unveils Sweeping Vision: “I Am Here to Make CBS News Fit for Purpose in the 21st Century”

Weiss rallied the troops and outlined her vision at an all-hands meeting Tuesday morning, naming a lineup of new contributors: "Our strategy until now has been to cling to the audience that remains on broadcast television. If we stick to that strategy, we're toast."

"I have millions to spend on a lavish wedding in Venice. I have $45 million for a documentary no one wants about a woman that most people don't like. But I don't have money for a newspaper that is the paper of record for American democracy."

Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post conducts widespread layoffs, gutting a third of its staff

The Washington Post laid off about one in three employees across the company Wednesday morning, dealing another big blow to a newsroom that has reached a breaking point.

Post owner Jeff Bezos had no immediate comment about the cutbacks.

Bezos has been pushing the Post’s management team to return the publication to profitability, but many journalists at the paper have criticized his approach and questioned his motives.

“Bezos is not trying to save The Washington Post. He’s trying to survive Donald Trump,” former Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler said in a column earlier this week.

It seems the whole idea was to destroy the Washington Post...I get that it was not turning a profit, but sometimes that it more about who is at the top and the editorial policy than who is doing the work.

I suspect that with Bezos's abandoning the audience that don't want his new broligarchy libertarian vision , he just isn't getting subscribers or the adverising he wants.

The crazy thing is that Amazon alone could pay the advertising bills.

I note the comment about him 'just trying to survive Trump', but nah...he is there to actively kill legacy media.

Amazon is now just another outlet to see cheap Chinese knockoff slop. The big money is in Amazon's web service (AWS) and their megadatacenters.

"Surviving Trump" means keeping their lucrative government AWS contracts.

The Federal Trade Commission under Biden was looking closely at these tech conglomerates that own end-to-end delivery of services and who buy up any competition. It's the reason all those tech billionaires were down at Mar-A-Lago making deals in 2024 before the election. It's reason they lined up at the Trump inauguration and why they donated millions to the inaugural events. And of course, it's the reason that Bezos forked out $45 million for a documentary about a European prostitute who can barely speak English, whose name can be found repeatedly in the Epstein file..

They will do anything to avoid government regulation and breaking up of their trusts and monopolies. They will do anything to avoid the repeal of the laws that relieve them of any legal liability for the slop and lies being promulgated on their platforms.
 
Meisa Touch has written an open letter calling Bezos out for his layoffs and destruction of WaPo.

When you gut investigative reporting, you are not being neutral.
When you purge respected journalists, you are taking a side.
And when you do it as Trump and his right-wing oligarchs escalate their fascist attacks on the press, the intent is unmistakable.

But CPB and PBS do bear some responsibility just as the other legacy media do. For years, they have overdone the alternative represenation thing, to the point that now the Newshour just doesn't have anyone left with any gravitas. If we wanted to watch nobodies read predictable narratives of social protest, we could just stay on YouTube.

The female and the minority representation in discussions of the day's news are important, but when you begin to eclipse the majority altogether, you poison the well. Many times I will flip channels and see an all female panel of "journalists" on the Newshour. That's just not good enough. Men exist. And if your schrick is representative voicing, you shoot yourself when you intentionally mute the majoriity and males.

Even Newshours most senior female Washington correspondent comes across as a near inconsequential journalist. Lisa Desjardins is simply the Dan Quayle of Network News, not in the stupid sense, just not authoritative or compelling.

The tepidness is palpable. They don't deserve an audience any more than the Sunday news talk shows do now.

'Washington Post' CEO departs after going AWOL during massive job cuts

The Washington Post Publisher and Chief Executive Will Lewis announced Saturday evening he would depart after just two years at the paper, a tenure marked by controversy and crisis.

Lewis called his time "two years of transformation" in his resignation note, but it was defined by turbulence rather than a clear path, and it ended with brutal job cuts. The paper's chief financial officer, Jeff D'Onofrio, will serve as acting CEO.

More than a third of the newsroom was laid off Wednesday after Lewis' promises of radical innovations failed to staunch several years of annual losses in the tens of millions of dollars. At one point, losses hit $100 million, Lewis told staffers in June 2024 during a rocky newsroom all-staff. The session occurred just five months into his time at the Post. Yet it proved to be his final all-staff meeting.

So predictable. He is now only there as hatchet man and to collect performance bonuses for slashing costs. The Stupid Bowl is made for douchebags like him.
 
^ Yup.

The US networks are doing the regime's work.
 
"The "free speech absolutists" who want to shout "f*ggot" and "tr*nny" and "the n-word" with impunity, and talk about minorities eating their pets, are pretty goddamned quiet this morning about the FCC, on behalf of Donald Trump, pressuring CBS to kill the broadcast of an interview with the devastatingly articulate Texas State Representative James Talarico.

While it was an absolute pleasure to watch Colbert thumb his nose at the FCC chair and the CBS brass, it was shocking to be reminded that the US media is self censoring content to
kowtow to trump...CBS is really a lost cause now.

Announicing that the interview would be playing on the Youtube channel becuase he was forbidden to show it on CBS was a reminder that the age of broadcast TV is coming to an end.

If you want to know why Brendan Carr has targeted two shows that interviewed James Talarico, this is why:




The Republican Party is scared shitless that Ken Paxton is going to win the Republican Primary for Cornyn's US Senate seat. That would likely set up a run between Talarico, the soft-spoken seminary student and former public school teacher, versus Paxton, the philandering, bribe-taking, grifter Attorney General of Texas.

Ken Paxton is likely to use a "Two Corinthians" answer to any question about religion in a debate. The potential commercials about Paxton's pussy hound reputation is going to give Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign a run for its money, only Paxton won't have a wife "standing by her man" because his wife, Angela, filed for divorce last year.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Busted in New Cheating Scandal – Mistress Revealed as Christian Influencer

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, one of the most controversial figures in state politics, is once again in the headlines, this time for a bombshell sex scandal that could shake up the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.
The Daily Mail has revealed that Paxton, 62, has been secretly involved with Tracy Duhon, a 57-year-old Christian influencer, author, and mother of seven. Multiple sources confirm the relationship began at the Kentucky Derby in May 2024 and quickly escalated into secret trips across the country and even overseas.

Marriage Collapse
In July, Paxton’s wife of 38 years, State Senator Angela Paxton, announced she was filing for divorce “on biblical grounds,” accusing her husband of adultery. Angela, who represents McKinney in the Texas Senate, said the marriage “no longer honored God” after discovering the affair.
Tracy, once married to wealthy car dealer Troy Duhon, finalized her divorce just three weeks ago. Known for her faith-based writings and marriage retreats, she often posted about prayer and resilience online – while allegedly maintaining a hidden romance with Texas’ top lawman.

Not His First Affair
This isn’t Paxton’s first scandal. In 2023, he was exposed for an affair with Laura Olson, which spiraled into accusations that Paxton abused his office and took bribes to secure Olson a job. He was impeached by the Texas House in a historic bipartisan vote, but later acquitted by the Texas Senate.
Angela Paxton stood by him through that scandal. But the Duhon affair, sources say, was the “last straw.”

Political Fallout
The timing couldn’t be worse for Paxton. He’s gearing up to challenge Senator John Cornyn in the 2026 GOP primary, trying to run as the “true conservative” and Trump loyalist.
Before news of the affair, Paxton led Cornyn by as much as 16 points with Republican voters. Now, recent polling shows the two men in a dead heat. Cornyn has wasted no time mocking Paxton’s “family values” image and launching attack ads.

Paxton Fires Back
When asked about the allegations, Paxton didn’t deny them outright. Instead, he blasted the media, vowing to fight against the “deranged radical Left” alongside Donald Trump.
Duhon has refused to comment, hanging up on reporters. Angela Paxton has remained silent since her divorce filing.

So Colbert's youtube vid has over 5.5 million views as of this morning.

Eventually way more people will see this interview than if it had been on CBS.

And the sole Democrat FCC commisioner has slammed CBS's capitulation. But Trump made sure that the FCC is now just his lackeys and Project 2025 footsoldiers.

And everything hasn't been beer and skittles for 'News'Max either. A year ago it peaked at $265.00 before all the scammers pulled their money out. Currently at $5.64.

So obviously, their big MAGA boost in viewers ain't happening.
 
And Weiss and Ellison continue to make it clear how desperate they are for angry white male audience as they destroy any last shred of credibility at CBS.
