There are growing concerns within CBS News that Bari Weiss could gut or even disband the network’s Standards and Practices team, with multiple sources telling The Independent that the new editor-in-chief has complained that the unit has “too much power” and she doesn’t see the point of keeping it around.
...
“The team is responsible for ensuring editorial standards are met on scripts and provides daily reporting guidance. They literally uphold journalistic standards,” one CBS News reporter said, adding that it would be “crazy” for the network to dissolve Standards and Practices.
...
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS News insider claimed.
Weiss is on a quest to transform CBS from "the Tiffany network" to "the cracked plastic cup that a hobo fished out of a dumpster network". She wants to change CBS to Fox News 2.0, a news network that serves, not the American people, but the oligarchs and Donald Trump. But since CBS is now owned by an oligarch, that's to be expected.
There are plenty of other news sources, which you should think of pursuing.
Yeah, like they have been doing their job for the past what, 15 years?
ReplyDeleteCBS was as partisan as CNN, and as credible too.
There were no standards then, apparently (or at least none except "pro DNC" enforced) and there are none as of now, so if he disbands the department, will anyone even notice?
Or are you afraid that if CBS isn't forced to be partisan to the DNC that the truth will hurt them?
CBS - Continuous Bull Shit. Been shunning them and boycotting as I can.
ReplyDeleteThey will be faux news 2. Works for the other phoney sources.
ReplyDeleteAs to partisan yep they were, just not to the Woke Right.
Eck!
We don’t need a national propaganda network as long as folks like you are around to attempt to gaslight us for free, B.
