Porn Sites? How about an interview with a politician on a late-nite network television show.

  • There has never been a leftist government in the US. You seem a bit lost.

      I'll give you three examples of the dems sliding left.

      Biden did make sure all the borders were wide open and american forklifts, operated by americans, have been used to facilitate the mass migration of millions and millions of non-US citizens into the US.

      Under the same government there have been politicians passing laws so that there'd be tampons in men's restrooms.

      And you now have a mayor in NYC explaining publicly, to americans on US soil, that it's time to "look at the life of the prophet Muhammad" (I encourage everyone to go and buy a quran and go read it to actually learn about the muhammad but this may make want you to switch from democrat to republican).

      I understand that people who vote democrats don't want to be called leftists but I don't think anyone disputes that dems have been slanting towards the left more and more.

      Democrats having no issues with a politician lecturing them as to how they should look at the life of the prophet of islam makes me think something serious is going on.

      I'm not sure who is lost here.

  • I don't believe your framing nor narrative is based in reality.

    But even if I assume it's all true. It does appear that CBS is paying what I might call bribes to the current administration. In this case, the incentives created what you describe as a gentle reminder, are such that CBS is now making decisions I think are dishonest and problematic. I expect my government to be extraordinarily careful with how they decide to put their finger on the scale, especially given how much influence they're able to represent, and how strong the incentives they manufacture can be.

    > You don't like that CBS decided to put interview on YouTube to avoid triggering the obligation to also give airtime to another politician? Take it up with CBS.

    Root cause analysis shows the problem started from the current administration's new actions that measurably diverge from their previous policies and decisions. While I agree that CBS should be held to account for their shitty decisions. Only an idiot would suggest addressing only the symptom of CBS behaving badly, when the root cause is something completely different.

  • so many left-leaning politicians on fox news /s

    when do they get the kind reminder?
