"The paradigm has completely changed in news, and we have so much opinion that the truth doesn't hold value anymore. And what we end up doing is we, as consumers, trying to find the truthwe can't find good old-fashioned facts. And it distresses me so terribly. CBS is a whole different organization than I had worked for. CBS has now been taken over, thanks to greedy owners, Shari Redstone partnering with David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son."
"Well, part of my concern, by the wayand I find it very, if I were you, I'd find it very difficult to watch the administration of CBS News wear the costume of CBS News, getting to cosplay, to pretend that nothing is different, even though the very premise of their acquisition of the network was, in fact, at the discretion and blessing of the president, who was the interview subject in that video that we were describing."
CBS News has shifted from fact-centered reporting to opinion-heavy coverage, diminishing the value of truth and making factual reporting harder for consumers to find. New ownership tied to Shari Redstone and David Ellison is blamed for prioritizing profit and contributing to the network's institutional decline and dismantling. The arrival of a high-profile hire has produced uncertainty about editorial direction and capacity to restore rigorous journalism. A major interview with the president prompted ethical concerns because of the president's involvement in the acquisition, while some reactions labeled that interview merely 'decent' or 'okay.' The situation raises questions about the future of adversarial journalism at CBS.
