CBS president resigns amid '60 Minutes' legal dispute with Trump

Well, it looks like the corporate clown car at CBS just lost another passenger. Wendy McMahon, the big cheese at CBS News and Stations, announced she’s bailing on the network faster than you can say “abandon ship!” 

Poor Wendy is apparently not vibing with the suits at Paramount, CBS’ parent company, as they scramble to settle a $20 billion lawsuit from President Donald Trump. You know, the one where he claims “60 Minutes” played fast and loose with an interview of Kamala Harris to make her look less like incompetent and possibly even sober during her presidential campaign.

McMahon, in her goodbye note, called her time at CBS “a privilege and joy,” but admitted the last few months have been “challenging.” 

No kidding, Wendalah. 

Trying to keep a straight face while navigating Paramount’s legal and political minefield must’ve been like juggling flaming torches on a unicycle with a flat tire. She didn’t mince words, saying, “It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward.” Translation: I’m outta here before this clusterfrack before it worse.

The drama doesn’t stop there. McMahon’s exit comes hot on the heels of her backing “60 Minutes” veteran Bill Owens, who stormed off last month in a hissy fit because he couldn’t steer the show’s direction.

Apparently, Paramount’s top dogs were sweating bullets over how the program was covering the Trump administration. Refusing to call him Hitler frequently enough to their satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Paramount’s big boss, Shari Redstone, is desperate to settle Trump’s lawsuit while begging his administration to green-light her plan to offload the company to Skydance. Talk about a tightrope walk.

And let’s not forget the cherry on this mess: Redstone publicly roasted CBS News last October after they slapped “CBS Mornings” anchor Tony Dokoupil on the wrist for daring to ask anti-Semite and fake race expert, Ta-Nehisi Coates some real questions about the Israel-Gaza conflict. 

McMahon told Dokoupil he broke “the preproduction process where questions are run through Race and Culture and Standards and Practice.” Redstone wasn’t having it, calling the reprimand “a mistake” and adding, “I think we all agree that this was not handled correctly.” 

When your boss’s boss is throwing shade like that, you know the writing’s on the wall.

If you enjoy my blog, feel free to toss a virtual coffee my way on Buy Me a Coffee – it’s like a high-five with caffeine, and coffee keeps me focused. No pressure, it's your call.

McMahon’s sticking around for a few weeks to hand over the keys to Tom Cibrowski, a 30-year ABC News vet, and Jennifer Mitchell, who wrangles CBS’ 27 owned stations across 17 markets. Good luck to them; they’re going to need it. 

As for McMahon, she’s probably already sipping a margarita somewhere, far away from Paramount’s circus. Can’t say I blame her.

Networks cover for Waukesha parade terrorist Darrell Brooks

Darrell Brooks: racist, anti-Semite, all around scum weasel

Darrell Brooks is an anti-Semitic, white-hating black man who made the news on November 24th after ramming an SUV into marchers at the Waukesha Christmas Parade in Wisconsin. The 39-year-old scumbag killed six people, including Jackson Sparks, an 8-year-old child; Virginia Sorenson, 79; LeAnna Owen, 71; Jane Kulich, 52; Tamara Durand, 52; and Wilhelm Hospel, 81. Scores of others were injured too.

But since the attack the mainstream media has forgotten about it because it doesn't fit their woke agenda. After all, when a black man intentionally kills white folks, that isn't as important than a white person killing white people in self-defense at a Black Lives Matter riot, as Kyle Rittenhouse had to do to save his life. By December 7th, ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC completely dropped the story altogether and the Left didn't seem to notice.

Brooks is a disgusting racist and an anti-Semite. He posted memes stating that "Hitler was right" and he hated white people, threatening, “we start bakk knokkin white people TF out. [sic]” 

Not one of the legacy media outlets looked into this and the last time they even mentioned Darrell Brooks' name was the day he murdered innocent people. In fact, the Washington Post, a crappy paper fit only to be used as birdcage liner, suggested that an SUV was responsible for the attack.

ABC last spoke of the attack on that day's Good Morning America. Same for CBS who mentioned it on CBS Mornings. While NBC made the final mention of the attack on the Nightly News that day as well. And by then, it was well-known that Brooks was a flaming anti-Semite but this was never mentioned. The only reason one can imagine this lack of "journalisming," as Ben Shapiro calls it, is that Brooks is black and his intended victims were white.

Instead, journalists such as CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil provided only the tiniest of details on November 24: “The alleged driver, 39-year-old Darrell Brooks, appeared in court yesterday as well.” Alex Perez promised “details on the suspect accused of plowing his SUV through crowds at a Christmas parade.” He added, “Darrell Brooks shackled in court Tuesday.” But Perez didn’t provide any facts about what might have been the motivation.

CBS dropped the Brooks Waukesha killings completely after November 25. ABC last covered it on December 5, 2021 and NBC on December 7, 2021. By then, Brooks' act of murder had seemingly become a self-driving car. On the December 7 Today, Tom Llamas, a total leftist hack, blamed the SUV itself:

"For decades the Dancing Grannies spinning and twirling their way into the hearts of people across Wisconsin. But just weeks ago, the beloved dance troupe making national headlines after an out-of-control SUV crashed right through the Waukesha Christmas Parade."

No dummy, the SUV was in total control by Darrell Brooks. He had every intention of plowing into the crowd as he had to avoid closed off streets to get to the parade and terrorize white people.

CBS Mornings previewed the blame-the-car talking point back on November 24 as if the tragedy was a traffice accident. Dokoupil insisted, “There is now a sixth victim after an SUV barreled through a holiday parade.”

Brooks has a history of ranting about “fake Jews” and sharing quotes claiming the “negroes are the real children of Israel.” 

Where's Joy Reid when we need her? Where's Joy Behar and the girls of The View? Where's Brian Stelter and his flock of reliable sources? 

Say his name: Darrell Brooks! That's what they would say if the actors in this tragedy had their races reversed, and it's disgusting.

CBS anchor tries to blame DHS official on child's death. He asks: 'Um, have you heard of doctors?'

The Leftist media is doing all it can to frame DHS with the death of an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died coming across the border.

On Wednesday, CBS "news" anchors pummeled U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan with questions, all of which attempted to put the blame for the child's death on his agency.

However, McAleenan made it clear that the decision to release the boy from the hospital was a decision made by the hospital professional medical staff, certainly not that of DHS. Any idiot should be aware of that save for CBS news, it appears.

Co-anchor Dana Jacobson’s first question to McAleenan: “In our reporting earlier, Commissioner, it was that the child had a 103-degree fever earlier in the day. Why bring a sick child back to a detention center instead of keeping him at the hospital?” 

McAneenan replied, “That’s a call made by the medical professionals.”

As Newsbusters notes, Jacobson apparently couldn’t process McAleenan’s answer, so she pressed: “But are you satisfied with the medical conditions and facilities, I guess, resources – that are available at these detention centers? Should sick children come back into your custody there?”

McAleenan, stifling his exasperation, replied: “I’ve explained to Congress, I’ve testified on this, I’ve talked about it publicly for months and months,” before explaining in detail what Jacobson apparently couldn’t understand.

Later in the segment, CBS News correspondent and author Tony Dokoupil implied other illegal immigrant children might have died after being held by DHS, saying, “I'm curious. We know of two children who’ve died in the past month. Can you guarantee us that there are not more children that we have not heard about that have also passed away?”

Dokoupil obviously was trying to get him to confess that somehow it's the poor facilities of the United States that caused the deaths of the children, not the irresponsible behavior of the caretakers of these children who hauled them thousands of miles on a dangerous journey.

Let's be clear--if you drag your kid thousands of miles through dangerous territory and sadly he or she dies from the journey, do you really believe the blame goes to the people who have tried to render care and may have failed, or to the idiots who bring the children into the danger?

Hillary says Bill's office BJ was not abuse of power

Hillary Clinton was interviewed by CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil on "Sunday Morning."

He asked the former first lady, former senator, former secretary of state and former 2016 presidential campaign losing candidate if she believed her husband's affair with then-22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky was an abuse of power.

"Absolutely not," she said without cracking a smile. She even said that Bill was right not to resign amid the scandal the led to his impeachment on perjury and obstruction charges.

"It wasn't an abuse of power?" Dokoupil asked incredulously because when a 49-year-old U.S. president gets an Oval Office BJ by a young, impressionable intern, it is abuse of his office, no matter what Hillary says.

But Clinton responded, "No. No." She said that it wasn't an abuse of power because Lewinsky "was an adult" at the time of the BJ in the Oval Office.

Clinton then skirted over the issue by talking about Trump.

"But let me ask you this: Where's the investigation of the current incumbent, against whom numerous allegations have been made, and which he dismisses, denies, and ridicules?" she said, hoping Dokoupil forgot the original topic. "So, there was an investigation [of Bill], and it, as I believe, came out in the right place."

Came out in the right place? Is she kidding? Monica Lewinsky was just one of many who the #MeToo movement failed to prosecute. Let's never forget Bill's alleged rape victim, Juanita Broadderick. She actually has some corroboration to her allegation.

Clinton's comments came swiftly after she rejected comparisons between Bill's actions and the uncorroborated allegations leveled at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. In fact, she called the swearing-in ceremony at the White House "a political rally," at a Comedy News Network (CNN) last week.

Hillary, however, is a political joke. I hope she runs again in 2020.
