    She did murder it. It was a regular program I consumed. I refuse to watch it now that a Zionist cunt is in charge.

    CORRECTION:

    She was appointed by David Ellison, a tech scion nepo-baby who took control of CBS’s parent company, Paramount, in a multibillion-dollar merger that his daddy, literal supervillain multi-billionaire Larry Ellison, paid for.

    EDIT: For those that do not understand how buying Paramount (CBS) and rapidly destroying it vast amounts of it works out, just think about the worst case scenario. CBS/Paramount dies in two years at a loss of a few billion dollars. In return, Trump gives Larry (Oracle) and friends hundreds.of billions worth of contracts and priceless access to data, ensuring that they and their companies are thoroughly embedded in our government for years to come. Oh yeah, and they won’t pay taxes thanks to that Paramount “loss”.

    If only you’d had the eyeballs of millions for the last 7 decades, you could have done something to stop it.

      How would you suggest they use their platform to prevent their corporate overlords from neutering the show to appease the Trump admin so their merger goes through?

        How would I suggest the preeminent hour-long news show on American news media use their platform to fight the unconscionable horrors that are donald trump?

        Well, I would have started before yesterday, for one. 2015 seems like a good target. But no, they were as busy as Les “trump is great for CBS” Moonvees told them to be. Honestly now that they’re firmly in the crotch of the new oligarchs, probably not much will change at all anyway.

        Watched it this weekend. It’s a hell of a thing to see how little we have progressed in five decades.
