So what else is new. CBS bends the knee to appease the administration. I imagine that they don't want to hear Trump threaten to yank their broadcasting licence (like he does with ABC and NBC) as if he could. So what is next. CBS as state sponsored broadcasting. I shudder to think.Now the question I have to decide is do I cancel my Paramount + subscription. Anyone else taken this step or am I overreacting?
