Paramount

The liberal media had a meltdown over Paramount putting an ombudsman, or “watchdog,” in place after President Trump’s $16 million settlement in his lawsuit over CBS’s 60 Minutes Kamala Harris interview edit. MSNBC showcased its bias on Tuesday’s Morning Joe when journalists rallied together over the outrage of CBS agreeing to monitor its bias and claimed that decision was “un-American.”  

MSNBC’s Ari Melber, on his show The Beat Monday, hosted FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez to speak out against the recent Paramount-Skydance merger. Featuring the obviously inflammatory headline “TRUMP VS. 1ST AMENDMENT,” it was clear which way Melber and his guest leaned. The two discussed how the FCC’s typical role in the merger was really an attack against our Constitution.

PBS host Christiane Amanpour fretted over “the state of freedom of speech in America” with reporter David Enrich, author of the anti-Trump book Murder The Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful. Enrich has become a popular figure on PBS and NPR of late, warning of the Trump administration’s “chilling effect” on media. Amanpour accused Trump of…

Former CBS Evening News co-anchor Connie Chung surfaced on Friday afternoon’s CNN News Central to pitch a series of unhinged rants over Skydance Media’s impending purchase of CBS’s parent company Paramount Global. Chung declared it “the end of CBS as I knew it,” claimed CBS News won’t have minorities like her, insisted “honest, unbiased, fact-based journalism” would no longer happen…

Late Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it had “approved Skydance’s $8 billion acquisition of Paramount Global and its subsidiaries, including the ultimate parent company of the CBS network of owned and operated broadcast television stations, by granting a series of applications that transfer FCC licenses and authorizations.”

Actress Sandra Oh put Stephen Colbert in a tough spot on Monday when she became the first guest to appear on The Late Show after CBS decided to pull the plug. As Oh wished that a plague would descend upon CBS and its parent company, Paramount, Colbert had to look right into the camera and insist that he did not share such views.

Stephen Colbert tried to suggest on Wednesday’s The Late Show that there was something contradictory or even hypocritical in CBS deciding to cancel him while parent company Paramount settled in a recent lawsuit with President Trump that could lead them to giving up around $36 million.

Like many others in the liberal media, CNN’s The Situation Room co-hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown were quick to jump on the growing wave of fear that somehow spread from a flopping comedy show getting cancelled. In an interview with CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter, the three expressed their concerns over what Colbert’s cancellation meant for the future of late-night TV… and…

The men of late night reacted to the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with varying degrees of intelligence on their Monday shows. On the dumb end of the spectrum was fellow Paramount employee Jon Stewart, who reacted on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show by telling CBS to “go fuck” itself and dropping over 40 F-bombs.

CNN’s Jake Tapper tried desperately on The Lead on Friday to connect the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with parent company Paramount’s legal drama with President Trump. Tapper admitted he had no evidence for this but still found the whole thing to be “interesting” and promoted anonymous sources to help him advance his conspiracy theory.

Last night’s episode of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip featured a segment dedicated to liberal grieving over the cancellation of CBS’s Late Night with Stephen Colbert. Conservative stalwart Scott Jennings took the opportunity to remind everyone that there was a far more important story taking place.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert returned from two weeks of vacation on Monday, sporting a new mustache and attacking his Paramount bosses for giving President Trump a “big, fat bribe” for settling his 60 Minutes lawsuit. The Late Show host would also continue his faux heroics by suggesting Skydance might pressure or even fire him if their merger with Paramount is approved.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned from two weeks of vacation on Monday with Jon Stewart welcoming former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft to the program to claim that his former colleagues fear “losing the First Amendment” after mutual parent company Paramount settled with President Trump in a lawsuit over their 2024 campaign interview with Kamala Harris. Elsewhere…

CNN media analyst Brian Stelter posed as Journalism's Hero again against the powers of censorship, i.e. the Trump administration, on Wednesday’s PBS News Hour. Trump’s latest sin? Paramount agreeing to pay $16 million to President Trump’s future presidential library to settle a lawsuit over CBS’s news program 60 Minutes (Paramount owns CBS) for selectively editing an…
