"Once a symbol of journalistic excellence and cultural leadership, CBS now appears determined to dismantle its own legacy in pursuit of short-term political favor and corporate consolidation."

Colbert and Capitulation
The end of "The Late Show" isn’t ultimately about budgets, it’s a sign of the ideological shift at CBS that will take place under David Ellison's Skydance Media.

The weirdest right wing argument right now is “Obama deported more people!” So you’re a fan of Obama now? You admit his immigration policies worked without relentless cruelty? Ok

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Senate Republicans just set a plan to sell off millions of acres of public lands, which would change the Mountain West forever. Public lands belong to all Americans, and are at risk in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires. STOP this bill: p2a.co/XYbmWf1?p2as...

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.
