Shut that one off too!
After the dust settles and viewership craters, I expect that they'll just merge all this stuff together to keep whatever's left afloat with advertising.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump Ally Bari Weiss set to take over CNN after Paramount-Warner Bros merger is complete.
Bari Weiss currently leads CBS, and is expected to serve as lead for both media organizations in the future.
Sadly, he is a far better professional and human being than a segment of his viewership.
A person who thinks and cares, who was surrounded by people incapable of thinking and who definitely don't care!
Scott Pelley compared his firing from 60 Minutes to losing a spouse, saying the decision blindsided him.
He defended challenging CBS leadership directly: "I felt that somebody had to stand up not just for the broadcast but for the people."
Pelley also accused executives of failing to grasp what journalists endure: "There are people in that room who go to war zones when they are pregnant."
Nope! Paying rival Google for core intelligence caps the premium investors assign to the stock. Apple weanies will of course claim that this is the AI equivalent of the Second Coming, but it is really just technical improvements. https://t.co/a7P2urgXgY
It is very strange to see some on the Left get so upset over this administration’s efforts to beautify the nation’s capital and improve quality of life for the people who live and visit here.
As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we should all be able to agree that the nation’s capital ought to be clean, safe, and beautiful.
On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.
The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.
His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.
When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.
His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."
He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.
Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.
His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."
Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.
Three generations. Three wars. One family.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.
He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.
In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.
Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.
Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
Both of his sons did exactly that.
@Telegraph People are so intrinsically stupid!

You wonksrs would be buying your bread with Reichnotes!

The veteran correspondents staying at 60 Minutes are making the same mistake WaPo reporters did. 60 Minutes fate lies with viewers, not Bari Weiss or any internal deal she cut with them.
Viewers will abandon 60 Minutes like they did WaPo because they no longer trust the owner.

Scott Pelley: He believed freedom of the press — to quote Madison — was the right that guaranteed all the others, and the stakes are always that high. And that if you made it to CBS News you were among the best in the world. He worked every single day to live up to that standard.
cBS is dead
60 Minutes is dying
And who is pulling the strings?
David Ellison - the money comes from his daddy Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of Oracle who also happens to be a longtime Trump pal.
