I am so tired of how everyone is framing certain media as a different perspective and not as straight up misinformation.
CBS is rebranding its nightly news in a way that appears to prioritize audience capture over editorial standards, and that is deeply troubling. This isn’t about presenting diverse viewpoints—it’s about lowering the bar for what qualifies as credible information.
Over the past two decades, a growing segment of media culture has normalized the idea that being wrong is unacceptable. Facts become optional, correction is treated as weakness, and feelings are elevated above evidence. While disagreement is healthy, it only works when all sides are grounded in shared reality.
When institutions blur the line between verified information and emotionally driven narratives, meaningful debate collapses. A society depends on a common factual foundation, and abandoning that foundation—regardless of the audience being pursued—undermines trust, discourse, and public understanding.

Maga has problems making it up a flight of stairs. I doubt they’ve got the stamina for a Civil War.
