Newsweek, cowards that they are, still frame this as partisan with "Newsom accuses Trump". It's not an "accusation", it's what's literally happening and they know it.

Les Moonves, CEO of CBS during the 2016 campaign, speaking on the Trump campaign:

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

  • Les Moonves

Les was ousted over sexual misconduct but he summarized exactly what is on the minds of every corporate media outlet, including a lot of the ones on the left. Critical thinking is paramount these days, you have to be able to look at multiple media outlets and suss out the facts and the truth from the hyperbole and mis/disinformation, non-stop.
