    DHS just released a video titled "Christmas After Mass Deportations." It's a series of rapidly displayed images that aren't coherent in the least and all seem to be from earlier Christmases when there wasn't mass deportation. At the end, you see this: "Mirthnuke."

    Here it is if you want to watch it, but know that after you watch it you will wish you had not. It's really bad.

    This leads me to the following question: WTF is wrong with these people?

    WH forcing a cable network to take down a segment that would make them look bad. This is what true government censorship looks like @StupidMoniker .

    If this had happened under biden your MAGATs @Os Trigonum would've started 20 different threads

    If this is true it is unprecedented violation of the first amendment

    What you mean "if" its true. They literally pulled their segment off air cuz the WH pressured them. There's no other reason they would've yanked it

    Even worse, it's an OTA network, you know, one of the ones that the "people" own.

    i don't know how to tell you this, but Bari Weiss doesn't work at the White House, she is the EIC for CBS News. I don't think the editor pulling a story is what true government censorship looks like. Even the reporter whose story wasn't aired said it was CORPORATE censorship. If there is a credible report that the government censored the story (maybe emails from the White House telling them what stories to kill, like we saw with COVID?) that would be more concerning for me. If the editor doesn't want to run a story though, it doesn't get run. I would say, the jury is still out on this one.

    Obviously, if it does come out that the White House censored a story, that would be terrible. Freedom of the press is foundational to a free society.

    Hilarious that you forgot to mention Bari was installed at CBS as a condition to accept the merger with Paramount. Instead of looking at the balance sheet and other financial metrics to approve the merger it was only approved if a republican donor bought the network.

    The Paramount merger was approved by the strictly for the reason you're seeing now aka to kill stories that are bad for the WH
