Because they were taken over by MAGA and will no longer be a trusted source of news.

The new/old mission of the CBS Ministry of Truth:

Controlling information: Overseeing news, education, entertainment, and the arts to ensure they conform to the party line

Rewriting history: "Rectifying" historical records to match Big Brother's pronouncements

Destroying evidence: Eliminating any proof that contradicts the party

Creating Newspeak: Constructing a new language to reduce people's ability to think

Producing propaganda: Creating educational and entertainment materials that promote the party's agenda

CBS News once had a reputation for once being newsworthy and looks more convincing than Faux News. So now members of the Trumpf junta are bleating their lies, distortions, and agit-prop in their new Ministry of Truth. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) beat the war drums on CBS about Venezuela this weekend, as did Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent blather about Canada and sending American taxpayer funds to faraway Argentina.

Another reason to stop watching the "Cyclops."
