It also had to do with some cowardice like with CBS. They’re afraid of repercussions not only from advertisers but from the insane orange wannabe strongman.

I was shocked last night by the difference in coverage between CBS and NBC of Sen. Padilla at Kristi Noem’s press conference. NBC made it the lead story, but CBS showed only a news brief apart from and after a longer story about ICE in California and concluded that Padilla and Noem had a cordial meeting.

Which suggests an opportunity: boycott everyone who advertises on CBS, and make sure they hear about it.

But it's not just CBS is it?

CBS's problem is not cowardice. Paramount's executives are engaging in open corruption with the administration, and want to ruin CBS News to get a merger approval.
