If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism

Congratulations, America. You broke your heart.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

Paramount settled Trump's frivolous lawsuit against 60 Minutes. Stephen Colbert rightfully spoke out about it. Now he's getting fired.
Reminder that Paramount needs approval from the FCC to be acquired by Skydance — a media company founded by the son of billionaire Trump-backer Larry Ellison.

trump posted “now is a great time to buy” and waited 15 minutes before announcing a pause on tariffs. Some people got very rich today with a highly illegal thing called “market manipulation”. That’s the facts.
