For almost 40 years cbs/paramount was the source of my favorite programming and news. I finally stopped all cbs recording and cancelled my paramount subscription. We need to boycott them.
My husband and I are working on the same thing. Destroying 60 Minutes was the last straw. It started with boycotting Fox, they cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Now it's out with CBS. Or should I actually say cbs?
Your cartoon summed up what's really happening to the institutions we hold sacred, vividly and perfectly! She "fixed it" all right, by smashing all the pieces that make up 60 minutes to smithereens!
Scott Pelley spared no words, spoke truth to power, and acted heroically. His firing is a badge of honor.
As you so aptly ended your blog: "Scott Pelley didn’t fail journalism. Journalism failed Scott Pelley."
Our so-called president only wants his version of humor in the airwaves, hence the firing of Stephen Corbett. Now he wants only his version of the truth, actually he's wanted only his truth out there since the beginning. He is now in control of the TRUTH, it will be his version on 60 minutes. We can’t take all this. Goodbye 60 minutes we will miss you. Because the truth used to be, The 11th Commandment, Never lie to 60 minutes, you will be caught.
It will be interesting to see how long CBS/Paramount+ lose a huge chunk of their viewers. I quit watching CBS and never had Paramount+ because it seemed like just another money grab by a greedy multimillionaire.
You've encapsulated the issue perfectly, as usual.. Modern journalism too often should be "modern sycophancy." I don't regret even a tiny bit choosing to not have a television, though I started my career out of college with a journalism degree at a television station. I cancelled my WaPo, Amazon, and a few other subscriptions. Onward!
So true Nick. The 1st rule of Fascism is to control the free press. Ask the people of Hungary, or
ask Putin. Dictators have wealthy pals buy the outlets, then the truth is suppressed. Scott Pelleys 40 years of distinguished journalism will be remembered, while Bari Weiss sinks in the

I am careless with capitals🥴
I believe many of us Stephen Colbert fans started the boycott the night his show ended. That's when I cancelled my paramount subscription.
Nice
Bari Weiss is a trump tool.
💯
She did the job to which she was assigned, similar to Trump's cabinet of vandals and sabateurs. Project 2025 at work.
Exactly !

Weiss is doing all this for a dementing and decaying wannabe dictator-king with an orange face, bruised hands, fat ankles and a corrupted mind.

She didn’t need that name tag. 🤮
We stopped watching CBS after Stephen Colbert’s last show. Excellent cartoon and writing. This:
“… history tends to be kinder to the journalists who defend institutions than to the executives who “restructure” them.”
*Sighs heavily* Oh, yeah, she fixed it good. Yeesh!
Phonetically, she’s a
