The alphabet news channels have been in lockstep since Edward R Murrow. They used to be good at hiding the fact that it was slanted left in the Cronkite era, but that went out the window with Dan Rather.
No one galvanized them more than Trump of course, who they all loved until he came down the escalator and said Make America Great Again.
They’ve been joined by the late night, not so funny comedy shows, the shrews at The View and any other show that could be turned political. It was that way across the board. Even Fox has joined the liberal slant.
It worked so well, CBS News got sold, and said they (might) be equal in coverage. The newsreaders lost their minds, and here is what you get.
The aerobic freakout has begun inside the liberal media over the new owners of CBS News appointing “anti-woke” Bari Weiss to the new post of editor-in-chief.
None of the CBS veterans want a new boss with a new ideology. They like pretending they don’t have an ideology. They call themselves courageously “independent.”
In her initial memo to employees, Weiss stated several principles that are absolute anathema inside CBS: “Journalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny” and “Journalism that embraces a wide spectrum of views and voices so that the audience can contend with the best arguments on all sides of a debate.”
The anonymous leakers are already on fire. Jeremy Barr of The Guardian spread the early spurts: “CBS News veterans I’ve talked to are encouraging Bari Weiss to not mess with the Golden Goose(s) of ’60 Minutes’ and ‘CBS News Sunday Morning.’”
What makes them “golden”? They’re the opposite of the Weiss principles. They rely on a narrow spectrum of ideas and persistently favor one political party over another.
“60 Minutes” is notoriously pro-Democrat, from Steve Kroft trying to save Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign from the early adultery charges of his mistress, Gennifer Flowers, to Kroft performing a series of blatantly promotional interviews with Barack Obama, starting in 2008.
There is more here if you want to read it, but it is facts that both sides know to be true. Like Academia, the propaganda arm of the Democrat party carried the water for decades
