The Real Bias Monitor for CBS is Donald Trump | Seth Stern

nEWS media, including CBSediting operations are free to be performed because they think it is appropriate. If they decide independently to hire a bias monitor, that is their privilege. If they think the best surveillance bias at the moment is a professional party Kenneth Weinsteinwhich is the reason for questioning their judgment, but it is not necessarily a First Amendment issue.

But this all changes when surveillance is required by the federal government. This is the case with CBS. Creation of the role of the Ombudsman It’s one The owner of CBS convinced the Trump administration that the FCC approved the Paramount-Salesperson merger.

Other concessions include End Dei Of course there is $16 million bribe Laundering money from Trump for settlement Pay to resolve his frivolous The lawsuit lasted for more than 60 minutes and was edited by then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Two days after the check hit, the FCC approved the merger. but The most important thing is to deny itTrump claims there is another Side Agreement Add sugar with $20 million in Pro-Trump Psas.

Given the original sin of that decayed deal, there is no room for doubt in terms of Weinstein’s recruitment.

The day the employment was announced, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Lapel pin Golden bust with Trump – Tell The Wall Street Journal “what he calls independent institutions “are completely aligned with President Trump’s campaign agenda.” When it comes to the media, the agenda is clear: censorship and retribution.

Weinstein’s past Trump has started, which raises questions about whether he is too biased to monitor bias. Shortly after the government extracts the latest surrender from CBS – promise No longer exercise its constitutional right to editorial interviews in response to criticism from the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem – According to reports, Weinstein has Deleted his X account.

Therefore, the man is responsible for police transparency CBS Have you covered up your own words? Being a journalistic ethicist is not a good start.

David Ellison, CEO of New Paramount Skydiving and son of Larry Ellison The person I’ve become recently The richest man in the world, persist in Weinstein will not report to the government. He claimed that the role of the ombudsman is about transparency, not oversight. meeting make sure CBS demonstrates “different ideological perspectives”, presumably his Dad’s partner In the White House, he also wanted to establish a deal for the Ellisons to control Tiktok.

One might argue that serious bias monitors will focus on journalists’ bias (yes, journalists have the same bias as others) interfere with their pursuit of truth rather than implementing a ridiculous “all opinions are equal” policy. But again, Ellison lacks government intervention and has the right to write job descriptions where he sees fit.

However, the government clearly does intend to oversee CBS’s biased policing, if deemed appropriate, and if deemed appropriate. Carl It is said that Said his agency is in a “trust but validation posture” when it comes to unconstitutional opposition commitments. He noted: “When you submit documents to the FCC, we have rules and regulations that involve false statements from the agency” Add to His agency wants to [Paramount] and track this issue”.

In other words, the FCC can use Paramount as if it were Force commitments (including the Ombudsman of Bias) during the merger process to punish CBS, and if CBS gradually stands out, or better yet, let it think twice before it begins. Independent biased police will spread all over Colombia news commentary Report His new and old ownership was shocking Thursday to tilt the network’s coverage in Israel’s favor. What an opportunity to run! But don’t hold your breath.

Legally, the government cannot control news by using regulatory penalties as a way to revolve around the end of the Constitution. As a prior version of Carr explain In 2021: “The newsroom’s decisions about the stories to be introduced and how to structure them should be beyond the scope of any government official.”

But this assumes that the government respects the limitations of its authority. There is no one in the United States. If this administration needs an excuse to punish CBS, it will find one – allegedly for regulators or some others Strange theories Government lawyers have not dreamed yet.

And don’t expect the FCC to postpone it. My employer, the free of the Press Foundation, filed a lawyer for disciplinary action complain The July opposition to Carr, which included a laundry list of his promotion and additional jurisdictional actions, ranged from company owners that threatened cable news networks that did not broadcast Trump’s press conferences to efforts to deal with online content.

The FCC does not regulate cable news or online speeches, and Carr knows that. He also knows that he can’t even force those under regulation to play whatever he wants. But the people on Carl’s letter reception knew that he was not speaking to them as an independent regulator, but was a member of Trump. Whether they violated any of the rules he quoted (even if he bothers), it was about whether they emphasized enough the boss’ preference for kissing the ring.

this Trump administration Abused its momentum to shake Paramount and maintain a foothold in CBS’s news editorial room. That doesn’t mean CBS will never criticize Trump again – that’s too obvious. But its owners know that if it goes too far, they may get slapped in the face. This is enough to tame a watchdog—especially a company that prioritizes more favorable efforts than defending the First Amendment.

The new CBS may not be the state media, but it will certainly be the state overseer media. Congratulations to Weinstein on the title, but the real bias ombudsman is Donald Trump.
