I was distressed to learn yesterday that CBS News has hired Mick Mulvaney as a political analyst, not long after hiring Reince Priebus. Both were notorious trump toadies, serving as two of his many Chiefs of Staff. They lied on the public’s dime, and now they will take CBS’s money to do the same.
So the once-proud CBS News, the home of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite — two icons of reliably truthful news journalism — has chosen to sink into the filth of entertainment news in its craven pursuit of ratings and dollars. I guess they want to give Fox a run for that money. Good luck with that.
The former flagship of TV journalism is now featuring lying trump flacks, so I'm outta here. I am a news junkie, but I just eliminated CBS from my channel lineup.
