MSM Panics After Nick Shirley Bombshell As CBS Pledges To Start Reporting Real News

CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil addressed viewers in what appeared to be a pre-recorded promotional segment aimed at repairing more than a decade of reputational damage and announcing changes to the program. He acknowledged that the corporate media outlet had "missed the story" too often and, in doing so, had lost the trust of Americans.
"On too many stories, the press has missed the story, because we've taken into account the perspectives of advocates rather than the average American. Or we've put too much weight on the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you," Dokoupil said in the two-minute video published early on New Year's Day.
Dokoupil continued, "So here's my promise to you: You come first. Not advertisers. Not politicians. Not corporate interests. And yes, that does include the corporate owners of CBS. I report for you, which means I tell you what I know. When I know it, and how I know it. And when I get it wrong... I'll tell you that too."
Dokoupil basically admitted that CBS and much of the MSM-industrial complex functioned as little more than PR firms for the highest bidder. We saw this with the Hunter Biden laptop story, Covid origins, Joe Biden's mental health, and the list goes on. Quite frankly, the American people dumped MSM many years ago in favor of alternative outlets.

So they just change on a whim. And he admitted the bad deeds.

As is covered in the next paragraph. Need to fire them all and start over. I'm sure this would risk their business model but they need to do it.

This "apology" starts with a lie.
They didn't miss shite. They lied, gaslit, and ignored every story that didn't conform to their ideological agenda. The NYT did the same thing with the Russiagate hoax. Oops we might have missed this and then right back to the same bullshite

They might have a few more “balanced” segments in the near term. By the time midterm season is in full swing, it will be the same ol’ shite.

They have to quit hiring Ivy League educated and Northeast educated people.

I appreciate the effort you made to embed the video.
I will not watch CBS, I will not watch here nor there. I will not watch it anywhere.

That’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo to say “we’re politically biased”

Isn’t it fundamentally sad that a legacy news organization like CBS had to even put out such a statement?
Shows you just how far America’s MSM has fallen in the eyes of the public.
Only the most blindly partisan Lefty refuses to see / acknowledge that MSM has become an advocacy propaganda tool for Democrat Party political purposes instead of a truly unbiased watchdog for the American public designed to keep people informed and to keep government in check and honest.
We wouldn’t have near as many issues with an out of control, unaccountable government if we had a free press that was truly serving its intended function.

Not really on a whim. The left has been melting down over the Weis hire for months now.
