Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

Trump has rubbished Presidential broadcasts for the future to come. Up to now they were unique and relevant. Now they are common and drenched in lies and party / political motivated.

Please spread the word, this needs to happen. Trump announced that Republicans will hold their first-ever national convention ahead of the midterm in Dallas Sept 9 & 10. I came up with an idea to drown out his convention. Democrats to hold multiple conventions in multiple states to counter his lies

The problem with allowing his propaganda to be broadcast uncensored, uninterrupted is that too many take his word as gospel and don't give enough validity or credit to the commentary afterwards (if they even see it)

Sen. Warner's point is that CBS should not have broadcast the speech at all - because it was full of lie upon lie upon lie, and why should any network give a podium to that?

It's a calculation of money. It begins and ends w money. It's not complicated. They think it will make them money by bringing in viewers. Or by not angering him for not airing it they save money. Everything in this country that is corpo run is centered squarely on money.

CBS did not carry President Biden's prime-time "Battle for the Soul of the Nation" speech on September 1, 2022, live on their broadcast network. Instead, the network opted to air a rerun of "Young Sheldon."

It's incumbent on all Democrats to ACT. Now. bsky.app/profile/umai...

"The failure of multiple Departments of Justice to hold Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein accountable is connected to a criminal network that ties together nearly every major political and financial scandal in the 20th and 21st centuries." thiswillhold.substack.com/p/update-ex-...

And a big shout out to the White House brain trust who thought that platforming Trumps paranoia, delusion and truth denial was somehow a winning strategy. ITS-BLOWN-UP-IN-YOUR-FACES! Let's get that approval rate to 25%.

You don’t understand their strategy, apparently. Their goal isn’t to convince anyone new, it’s to prime the base for violence if/when they lose. In that respect it was fully successful.

@markwarner.bsky.social Thank you. You folks are years behind in pushing back the GOP lies. You all need to be on ALL MEDIA PLATFORMS 24/7 to save our Republic, if it's not too late. Which it may be. Nothing was learnt after Biden's delusion that DC Leaders enabled. Chuck & Haakem need to go now.

For his conspiracy theory to work, you have to believe the Deep State is a hyper-genius cartel on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but completely incompetent on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

While I get this sentiment, part of what Trump's trying to do is create a reason to declare martial law. Our govt is in chaos. We have a legal right to arm; if it makes you feel more secure, you should. When it's said "we're on our own" I believe it now. ICE comes to your door, you're on your own.

If tonight’s speech was supposed to rally voters, it did — just not the ones he intended. More grievances, more conspiracy theories, zero vision. Every speech like this makes November clearer. Democrats are winning the midterms. #Midterms2026 #VoteBlue #Bluesky #Democracy

Amen to that. They denied Biden's speech in 2020 yet gave Trump the go ahead. Our #MSM #LegacyMedia are traitors to this Great Nation. Delete the Elite

Media: it’s not our job to identify the lies, we just repeat them with “the president says he’s protecting our elections.” It’s democrats’ responsibility to push back and then we can report what you said as “democrats disagree with Trump claims”

Jeeez Tony, What's wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️ feeling a bit butt hurt when your CRAP SHOW allowed air time the American idiot on your show of LIES⁉️🙄🤨🥺 LOOKS LIKE TONY MIGHT be just as EMBARRASSED⁉️🤔🫪😱 TRYING TO DEFEND ...WHAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER AIRED IN THE 1ST PLACE ⁉️🤬 Do better.

He tried to interrupt Warner repeatedly, and noticeably didn’t really agree with Warner at all. “Terrible track record” yeah ok. Ask Tony who won the 2020 election and see if he gives a straight one word answer.

We are subject to daily mind fucks from the Dump administration and the major media outlets have no balls to challenge the lies. I love that someone has a voice to challenge the lies that major media outlets are too lame to challenge.

The fact that the President of a country lied about everything in a televised speech IS newsworthy. It's a journalist's job to keep the public updated on what's going on in their community. As long as the journalist also makes it clear that the liar is lying, they've done their job well.

Wouldn't they actually be proving the lies instead? I really am confused about all of you complaining about a network that, admittedly, has mad terrible decisions, doing an interview with someone you claim is the enemy of the reporter, then the reporter say the "proven lies" when referencing DT?

REPORT REAL NEWS, HONEST, TRUTHFUL NEWS! NOT WHAT THE DEMENTED IDIOT IN the WH TELLS U to report CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN! Real news!! Tell the truth!! Stop lying for the idiot legacy media!! Real truthful news!

lol - how many watched it? (I certainly did not). Viewership was prolly “as large” as his inauguration attendance (“biggest ever” lol).

Textbook neurological manifestation of dementia: 80 year old man acts as if he is still the "Master of the House" while failing to see his cognitive & frontal lobe decline, he is not being stubborn, arrogant, or intentionally difficult. His brain has lost the architecture required for self-awareness

Too bad the MAGA military is all hopped up on lies testosterone and meth - and can’t be trusted to do the right and honourable thing. and also too bad that they’ll be praised as usual even when they follow an idiot criminal’s unlawful orders. 🤷‍♀️

Dukopil and the rest of the CBS team did an excellent job of exposing Trump‘s lies and providing the missing context showing the slant that gave false impressions of the information. Warner’s and many of the comments here seem prepared and not responding to what actually happened.

Fox Propaganda played it in its entirety of course, and ABC showed highlights or lowlights. It’s the same maga crew that are buying it. That’s not going to stop him from interfering with the midterms. He has no other choice. We need to send the message Americans won’t allow his cult to interfere.

CBS or any of the Trump News Buddies I dont trust... NONE of them, I no longer trust! The are all propaganda machines that push lies and conspiracy theories for Trump. Ive TURNED MY TV OFF! FUCK ALL OF THEM!

Trump once sent a farting Rudy Giuliani and a delusional fabulist to make case for election fraud in 2020 Election. Last night Trump, a delusional fabulist, reprised Giuliani’s argument. Same argument. Same smell. Read my piece on Substack chrislamb406104.substack.com/p/trump-trie...

chrislamb406104.substack.comRemember when Trump used a farting Rudy Giuliani and a delusional fabulist to confirm fraud in the 2020 Election? The result was predictable.Saturday Night Live captured the moment with Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon

When did journalists stop doing journalism & start just repeating what someone says without any critical analysis? Proper journalism is vital especially with all of the propaganda on social media these days

👇Pushback...yes...the one big 'optional' in the U.S. A president is able to go on national television and speak his mind's created #illusions to soothe his fragile ego with no pushback. The country has become mentally unstable at its core. #Reality is 'optional' in the U.S. now. #Trump #USPoli

MSM has played a major role in betraying your country. The one thing 47 is actually a master at is treason. Treason comes in many forms and 47 et al and the Republicans are well versed in all. Their blithe betrayal of Americans should have been countered at every opportunity by MSM but sadly many 1/

Did CBS carry it full? Hannity of Fox still had it going ( I wanted to see if anyone was caring full or cutting away from it when they had enough) when I flipped to CBS who was by then in commentary.

Eh, Mr CBS Journo, sit down, and STFU. A lot of the media across the spectrum is carrying the orange felon’s piss bucket. This is NOT A BOTH SIDES ISSUE. SENATOR WARNER IS NOT “PUSHING BACK” . Fucking democracy is on the line you CBS clown, and you aired LIES. !!!

Warner is the ranking member on the Intelligence Committee with first hand knowledge of what Trump has presented. Buttigieg isn't an elected official and is not privy to the very information in question and cannot declare it to be false as Warner has just done.

Well, CBS is now just another Trump propaganda network these days. Precedent was already set when networks decided not to broadcast speeches by both Obama and Biden for similar reasons. CBS could have declined this time as well.

At this point the only ones believing all his lies are the people just as stupid as him and people that are so full of hate 😒

CBS ratings in the 25-45 year demographic is horrendous. Their overall Nielsen ratings for morning and evening time slots have absolutely tanked since Braindead Bari Weiss’ lips turned orange. They sold all their decades of credibility to see tanking ratings. Their merger though!

Oracle will die in stock market crash soon thanks to over investment in building data centers. So the Ellison need that merger grift stay filthy rich.

I think the real problem originated when he won an election. It wasn't a voting tech problem; it was a voter and system (dark money/celebrity culture/ Fox and talk radio) problem.
