And all of this is being done so the Ellisons can suck up to and get favors from Trump, despite the fact that everyone should know by now that you can never satisfy Trump for long and new compromises and tributes will be required.

When ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel to pacify Trump, a spontaneous viewer boycott cost ABC’s parent company, Disney, nearly 4 BILLION in market capitalization overnight. Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on the air. Boycott CBS, including sports, NOW. Make news suppression costly. bsky.app/profile/vinc...

Trump and his billionaires are working to control the news. They are succeeding. Our wobbly Democracy is becoming a Plutocracy. We must resist. Start by boycotting CBS. Around the clock. Make it a money-losing failure. Change the channel. Act now. vincewade.com/the-1st-amen...

🚨 My real fear is that because the leaders of our US 🇺🇸 nation so adeptly broke so much so quickly and don’t know how to fix anything that they feel they have nothing left to lose so rather than attempt to repair they will instead completely destroy everything = COST SUNK DESTRUCTION OF A COUNTRY

"Dictators target the news media because they lead in pursuing the truth. Strongmen, be they aspiring dictators or mob bosses – or both in Donald Trump’s case – loathe the truth, which exposes their lies and undercuts their power over people." jameslbruno.substack.com/p/freedom-is...

What a tremendous blow to the network. Everything that "60 Minutes" stood for as the #1 newsmagazine is gone. For Bari Weiss to fire a good majority of the correspondents is beyond sickening. It's very sad. If we didn't realize it when Stephen Colbert was let go, we know now. Continue to boycott.

The principle move is to dismantle 60 Minutes from decades of factual reporting, very sad indeed for uncompromised reporting to the public no matter the painful information given.

As I have wrote earlier, it breaks my heart that '60 Minutes' is being MURDERED by David Ellison/Trump. I grew up watching 60 Minutes 'Dan Rather's voice of reasoning'. I watched Nelson Mandela walk out of prison, along with historic breaking news in both political and health alerts. Terrible!

I will not support anything with Paramount/CBS logo attached. I can watch all football highlights on ESPN or NFL Network. This is beyond wrong and good for Scott Pelley standing up for what is RIGHT Journalism & against WRONG/Lies in Journalistic ethics for American people.

It’s way past time to boycott @cbsnews.com I haven’t watched that station for nearly two years. I’ll NEVER support Trump or the fascist press corp. he wants to develop. Firing Scott Pelley was a monumental mistake.
