Fascism is here..... now what?
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵
WTF?
Wasn’t the title for this kinda job “Commissar” in Russia and China?
Fuck CBS for allowing this. Dead network
Holy Shit. Resist.
I've been reading Ariel Dorfman to figure this out, bc:
(a) among all the notorious dictators, Trump is most like Pinochet -- and both were created by the same people
and
(b) his writing illuminated the problem internationally & spurred Chile to successfully throw off right-wing dictatorship.
Have these people ever read the US Constitution? Any of it? I'm thinking particularly of the First Amendment. Not that CBS will take it to court. But somebody needs to.
First and foremost, avoid CBS and Paramount…..
Resistance everywhere all the time. Every entity complicit in this capitulation has to pay a price.
The journalists should give this arbiter the middle finger and do their job.
This sounds "kind of" NAZI in spirit.
We name it. We shame it. And eventually we remove it.

Do not watch, return their phone calls, pitch shows, sell to or work for Paramount, CBS or any of their subsidiaries and affiliates.
The shareholders will realize George and the rest of leadership’s fetish for fascism is bad business.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:jpvse5d5p5hdcu3rouohlbpx/bafkreihkckyzrkg5xc4acrzly2gjx2keft3ngn332i7yadfxki4k7gsqmy@jpeg)
A censor. That they agreed to.
Shut them down.
CBS is dead to me
I guess resist with everything we’ve got.
So ‘CBS’ now means “Cock & Bull Stories’?
Why not just call him a "Political Officer?"
Who continues to advertise with them? That’s who we target. Like Target…
Whoopee cushions, itch powder, buckets for the door trick, prank calls from Edward R. Morrow, a delivery ban organized with every restaurant within 20 blocks, great journalism that says eat me... Something's bound to work...
