Dan Rather Says Bari Weiss Hire And Skydance-Paramount Merger Mark βA Dark Day In The Halls Of CBS Newsβ
Rather said that Weiss' hire will add to fears journalists have of losing their jobs.
"CBS is no longer independent, but under the tutelage of a conservative billionaire who is putting more than his thumb on the scale."
Kudos to Dan Rather, a 44-year veteran of CBS News, for speaking truth to power.

This is wrong on every level. Itβs a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesnβt mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
