The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

CBS News faces devastating cuts because of Weiss's Trump-friendly leadership, which prioritizes ideological conformity over journalism. This anti-woke agenda forces staffers to self-censor while funneling resources to controversial podcasters like Epstein-linked Peter Attia, gutting traditional broadcast in the process to appease conservative audiences at the expense of journalistic integrity.

Pro-Trump narrative

After years of pushing fake news and Trump Derangement Syndrome, CBS News is finally paying the price. Rather than as a consequence of Weiss's leadership, the network's credibility has long been in decline due to its biased reporting. In light of this, CBS News's layoffs are merely an overdue consequence of the company abandoning objectivity in its reporting.
