Remember this the next time you see someone post a link from CBS News.
Even mild criticism from their fellow liberals isn't allowed any more.
Everything needs to be a cult now
He can turn this around fast enough to give the entire country whiplash, just by announcing his candidacy.
CBS is THE Zionist propaganda mouthpiece, and that's saying something so who cares. Hopefully Colbert, who seems like a "good" lib, gets a nicer platform, idk.
I honestly think shit like this is the death knell for traditional network television.
It's also the end of the world seeing the United States of America as a credible national partner on anything in the future.
Yeah, this is something that Trump and his current band of idiots can't understand.
Soft power has given the US far, far, far more influence in the world than the combined military campaigns throughout the time the the US has existed.
It will take centuries to repair the dammage the Trump regime has caused the US, and I mean centuries of hard, focused work, slowly rebuilding trust, spending a LOT of money on rebuilding protections.
Or we could abolish borders save lots of work not be evil
I think the corruption of the empire in the midst of the rise of the global South and the dissemination of information means that America can no longer dictate policies around the world (else we coup, bomb or destabilise you) without consequence, and that the narratives around America, which basically turned the world's rapist and murderer into a hero or something (nothing new, just the new head of Western civilization, after the UK, France and Germany bombed each other into irrelevance), are quickly being destroyed by reality.
Of course, most of the world understood this inherently because they were Western victims, but heads of state (and everyone under them in the power structure, including media companies) had to acquiesce or else... now, not so much.
i do wonder what these boomer networks do without latenight talkshows, just fill it with more spun 24hr "news"?
iirc Colbert is the most popular and even he regularly gets less viewers than the top podcasters/streamers....wonder why he even hangs around, Conen did great breaking away. Kimmel would do awful obviously but i think plenty of people would watch Colbert
