CBS and CNN about to go conservative. The maestro is working on his masterpiece. FAUX News might get a little nervous with real competition.



While MAGA celebrated and approved of Trump’s action to kick CNN, MSNOW and Politico out of the White House press pool, I think there’s something bigger happening.

Does anybody think the timing was a coincidence?

What are the odds that Trump knew all about this coming agreement?

(Brave search)

“On September 21, 2026, Paramount reached a settlement with a 12-state antitrust lawsuit, clearing the final legal hurdle for the deal.”

“CEO David Ellison stated the acquisition is expected to close in approximately two weeks, placing CNN and CBS News under the same corporate ownership by early October.”

David Ellison is a huge Trump supporter and a “strategic partner” in Trump’s PLAN.

If you don’t have a Paramount+ account, I would encourage you. It’s going to continue to grow and rival all the leftwing streaming and Hollywood propagandists.
Landman and Lioness are two excellent series with more conservative themes and truth.

But how do you transform the Mockingbird media and how do you PREVENT it from becoming centralized and controlled in the future?

COMPETITION.

Trump included CNN in the White House ban for a reason.

They are about to get a new “boss” that is going to demand fair and honest news reporting.

What does that ultimately mean?

Many of the current broadcast personalities on CNN, aren’t going to be working there much longer.

Bari Weiss has ALREADY started a house cleaning at CBS News and the left was having a stroke.

Trump placed CNN, who touts themselves as a “news” organization, in the same category as MSNOW and Politico, which everyone knows are partisan rags.
Even fake FOX News is objecting.

Why would FOX News stand with their “competitor” instead of celebrating their demise?

Because politics is just a GAME.

A GAME of division to pit one side against the other and distract the people.
Left vs right.
Liberal vs conservative.

It’s a joke. Both sides lie to their audiences in order to influence them rather than just reporting the TRUTH.

I don’t believe FOX News would be protesting Trump’s move if he hadn’t included CNN.

Both networks create “material” for each other, while preaching to the choir.
And at the same time, downplaying and ignoring everything that’s important.
Especially Trump’s many unprecedented accomplishments.

By kicking CNN out of the White House, Trump has helped “set the table” for Ellison to step to the plate and demand a complete transformation of CNN and a return to news reporting.

We are only at the beginning.

Wait till FOX News has to compete with CBS and CNN for “fair and balanced” news coverage.

Ellison’s purchase is THE GAME CHANGER.

The PLAN in action for anybody willing to see it.
Trump is looking far into the future.

Destroying the media he takes over is not the flex you think it is unless the actual goal is to tank their ratings. How would you like it if a Democratic president pushed Soros to take over FoxNews and dictate to him what anchors he should dismiss and demand he make it more Abdul El-Sayed friendly?


CBS News has experienced a sharp overall ratings decline and considerable turbulence across its flagship programs since Bari Weiss took over as editor-in-chief. [1, 2, 3]

High-Profile Show Performance

1790184976395.png
60 Minutes: The flagship newsmagazine saw a notable drop during its season debut under new executive producer Nick Bilton (handpicked by Weiss), drawing roughly 7.7 to 8 million viewers—a 19% to 20% decline compared to the previous year's premiere. Viewership for its second week fell further to between 6.5 and 6.77 million total viewers. While critics highlight these year-over-year drops from the premiere and previous seasons, defenders note that the second episode managed a modest 5% total viewer increase compared to the equivalent week in the prior season. The overhaul has also involved high-profile departures of veteran correspondents like Scott Pelley, Sharyn Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega.

1790184976419.png
CBS Evening News: Anchored by Tony Dokoupil following a January relaunch, the broadcast has struggled heavily, regularly dropping below 4 million total viewers—a historic low point for the network in the 21st century. Ratings in the critical 25–54 age demographic have also hit record lows, leaving it far behind competitors like ABC’s World News Tonight (David Muir) and NBC’s Nightly News.



1790184976443.png
CBS Mornings: The morning broadcast hit historic lows in viewership during the early months of 2026, coinciding with internal shakeups and staff departures following the exit of longtime leadership. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Bari Weiss ‘Likely Out’ at CBS Due to Record Low Ratings

"Things are looking particularly dark for CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. RadarOnline is claiming in a new report that Weiss is “likely out” after the latest stretch of lackluster ratings. Her torpedoing of “60 Minutes” could end up being the final straw that sends her packing.

It’s important to compare this current stretch of“60 Minutes” to its history. Don Hewitt launched the program in 1968, and it was the most-watched and most trusted news program in America for decades. After Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison acquired CBS, he put Weiss in charge of its newsroom despite her being a conservative opinion columnist with zero TV news experience. Ellison apparently also thought she’d help bring in more conservative viewers.

That hope for more eyeballs hasn’t panned out. The season premiere of “60 Minutes,” which was headlined by a softball interview with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, pulled in just 7.94 million viewers. That’s a 21 percent decrease from last year’s season premiere. There was also a 33 percent decrease in viewership from the coveted, advertiser-friendly 25-to-54 age demographic.

The second episode didn’t perform well either. “60 Minutes” led with an interview with Patrick Clancy, the ex-husband of Lindsay Clancy, and only garnered 6.77 million viewers. For context, that’s the third-smallest viewership for the second episode of the program in the last 25 years. And this past week, the show didn’t air at all in order to make room for a simulcast of the MTV Video Music Awards.

But Weiss has more headaches than just “60 Minutes.” After she put Tony Dokoupil atop CBS Evening News as lead anchor, the already last-place broadcast went on to lose even more viewers to ABC and NBC. And Weiss’ overhaul of CBS Mornings has also been lagging behind the network’s competitors in the AM slot.

The low ratings at “60 Minutes” comes amid a year of chaos in its newsroom. Weiss forced out longtime executive producer Tanya Simon. Veteran correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega also left the show. In April, former executive producer Bill Owens stepped down over not being allowed to make independent editorial decisions. Anderson Cooper quit after a 20-year stint as a correspondent. And in June, new executive producer Nick Bilton announced that star correspondent Scott Pelley was fired after he confronted Weiss and her lackeys over what they were doing to the program in a staff meeting.

One of Radar’s sources within theTV news industry told the outlet that their colleagues are all wondering how quickly the Ellison family will pull the plug once a federal judge grants final approval to their merger with Warner Bros. Dioscovery. The same source noted that “60 Minutes” is now getting lapped in viewers even by weekday editions of ABC’s World News Tonight. They called the program’s ratings collapse an example of the most valuable brand in news getting intentionally torpedoed by network leadership.

Back in 1954, CBS anchor Edward R. Murrow took on Joe McCarthy’s red scare when almost nobody else in broadcasting would. That’s what earned CBS News its trust from the American public that it’s enjoyed ever since. You can’t buy that kind of credibility with a merger, and you definitely can’t earn it by taking it easy on the rich and powerful. These low ratings are now telling David Ellisons what Edward R. Murrow could’ve told them for free."

That's funny because conservatives knew that she came in and cleaned house by firing Scott Pelley, Sharon Alfonsi, Cecelia Vega and the Executive Producer and it didn't help drive their ratings at all because the loyal audience is not ok with a hostile takeover with the goal of making it more friendly to the most unpopular president of all time. Nobody wants to see that monster get glazed on network tv, lol. They'll fugg up CNN just like they did CBS and advertisers will flee. Mark it.

Scott Pelley's statements: The veteran journalist stated after his firing that management directed him to inject falsehoods, bias, and unverified assertions into politically sensitive stories. Pelley publicly criticized leadership during a staff meeting, accusing them of trying to dismantle the program.



Cecilia Vega's statements: The fired correspondent stated that management pressured her to include unverified footage of protesters assaulting ICE agents and a fabricated quote from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. She also reported being pushed to insert political talking points regarding Iran and questioning omissions of Vice President JD Vance in a story about SNAP benefits. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/fired-60-minutes-bari-weiss-events-that-never-happened-1236820264/

Anyone with a smidgen of brain matter knows inherently that if you make it friendlier to Trump, you'll have to lie and viewers won't appreciate that. Ratings will plummet 📉
