From a sadly strongly paywalled story at Breaker Media:

It's probably a good thing most of us don't post here often now as the shameful conduct of the "legacy media" enabling the attention seeking and grudge holding of Tapper and Alex Thompson would probably have broken the servers. I avoid CNN as often as I can, so I had no idea that every anchor on CNN, probably even an AI Larry King, was plugging the book 24/7. The wagons truly are circling, as even some journalists who love to pretend they aren't like the rest, like Dave Weigel, have joined in. I am at the point where I have no use for any major reporters or media figures. I find it especially disgusting when I see reporters who talk about losing loved ones supporting this book after the reports you posted. 

any thoughts re tony dokoupil as the cbs news anchor?

i’ve been less than impressed. but, my only exposure has been the endless, annoying, commercials for cbs mornings i must endure in order to watch ‘beyond the gates’ without paying for paramount+.

Every time I hear or see his name, I think, "Wasn't he on 'Dancing with the Stars'?," lol.

and so it begins:

CBS News Presents: A Town Hall With Erika KirkNew

Erika Kirk opens up about life, loss, the state of political discourse and more in a one-hour town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss

John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois sign off after their final "CBS Evening News" broadcast

Disgraceful by CBS! Who knew it would be so easy for the "free" press to capitulate and sell their soul. Too bad for them that it won't be so easy to regain the trust of the public. I hope it was worth it since they practically cancel themselves with this spineless behaviour.

The ongoing collapse at CBS continues. Everyone is leaking against Weiss.

Meanwhile, Bezos is trying to slash WP's foreign and sports desks. They briefly said they would not send anyone to the Olympics and now have reversed it.

Meanwhile Bezos' Amazon is promoting its film about Melania.

A one-woman unforced error.

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one except those who have had their heads lodged inside their you-know-whats, WaPo owner (and Charles Foster Kane worshipper) Jeff Bezos has laid off about a third of the workforce at the paper that (in)famously helped to bring down a president (who now looks like JFK compared to the Oval Office's current occupant):

Bezos orders deep job cuts at 'Washington Post'

The Washington Post embarked on severe cuts despite appeals by the newsroom to owner Jeff Bezos. The paper is to narrow its focus largely to politics and national security.
