    CBS News – once home to legends of US journalism like Walter Cronkite and Edward R Murrow – installed a Trump ally as its ombudsman, weeks after the family of Larry Ellison, one of the world’s richest men, and a friend of the US president, sealed control over Paramount, the owner of CBS.

    Paramount I didn’t know about before. Goodbye CBS News.

      I stopped watching CBS News after a station in Milwaukee fired a Meteorologist after a right wing radio host criticized her for calling Musks Nazi salute a Nazi salute on her personal instagram.

      I’ve cancelled my Paramount+ subscription after the Ellison acquisition.
