CBS News just appointed a Trump donor as its bias monitor, fulfilling a promise made to secure merger approval. The network of Murrow and Cronkite is officially dead.
Tragic, yes, but no surprise. What is happening -- exactly as the World Socialist Web Site has reported for at least a decade -- is that all U.S. society is now being reshaped into the zero-tolerance model that has always governed capitalism itself. Thus the mainstream media monopoly -- since the '50s the (de facto) privately owned, for-(maximum)-profit descendant of Josef Goebbels' Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (the infamous Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda) -- is now becoming exactly that in de jure form as well.
CBS went hard left and like all media that has gone hard left they are dying hard from crashing viewership. Lefties really don't get that these media entities are corporate entities that exist to make a profit and increase shareholder value. The reason they went left to begin with is that they saw that as a good strategy to make money and increase shareholder value. That strategy has run its course and it no longer viable.
Sorry lefties, the corporate media was never really on your ideological side... it just so happened that you got support because it made the networks more money. That trend is over. It was never real to begin with.

Clearly the capitalist economic model will no longer allow the practice of honest journalism. Tell me why I am wrong?
