CBS is still in operation? Wouldn’t know. Haven’t watched it in a minute.

omg i’m so tired of politics invading literally every corner of entertainment like can we just have shows that don’t get ruined by someone’s agenda for five minutes.

Didn’t Bill Owens already resign? What’s left of 60 minutes to blow up?

same will sadly happen to CNN soon, i fear. the MAGA movement muzzling the news because they cannot take criticism (and the obvious that MAGA in its core is just bad for everyone)

Aren’t there cold capitalist, business-minded people in these conversations? Why are they playing to the 30% of the population that would never watch a network news magazine show in the first place? We’ve known that 60 Minutes was compromised for quite a while. Is MAGA bolstering viewership? Isn’t this all destined for failure?

What’s with people always referring to her as “Maga-coded,” and not simply, “maga?”

She’s got such a punchable face it’s insane.

What code? Her lack of values are plain to see.

I wonder if sales of Leinenkugel Berry Weiss have tanked since this person became “famous”

Conservative Bull 💩is done. She ruined it in less than a year. Ratings are in the tank and the news programming is awful.

I’m so glad that I’ve given up most forms of TV. Won’t be long before cable TV becomes “American Pride” stations 24/7.

60 Minutes is WAY too educational for them

I cancelled CBS/Paramount. It’s the only way I can be a part of their collapse.

Is that the only they have of Bari Weiss?

60 minutes and the Sunday morning show are the gems of CBS. Take those away and they will surely tank in ratings. No other reason to turn on CBS. None

“MAGA-coded” is an instant downvote

After watching John Oliver on Sunday night, I’m really starting to worry.

The fact that news is somehow congruous with entertainment now is so disheartening and exactly what is wrong with everything

Not “Trump-friendly”, but “Trump-owned”
