ViacomCBS announced late on Tuesday evening that they had terminated their relationship with left-wing entertainer Nick Cannon after the actor made remarks that were widely deemed to be anti-Semitic on his podcast.
&#8220;ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism,&#8221; the company said in a statement. &#8220;We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast &#8216;Cannon&#8217;s Class&#8217; on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.&#8221;
&#8220;While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;We are committed to doing better in our response to incidents of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry. ViacomCBS will have further announcements on our efforts to combat hate of all kinds.&#8221;
Page Six <a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/07/14/nick-cannon-responds-to-backlash-following-anti-semitic-comments/">reported</a> that Cannon promoted fringe anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish people, including “the Rothschilds, centralized banking, the 13 families, the bloodlines that control everything even outside of America.”
ViacomCBS&#8217;s statement did not directly mention anti-white remarks that Cannon made during the same podcast episode where he suggested that white people were inferior to black people because of the color of their skin.
“When you have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, that they know that they will be annihilated,&#8221; Cannon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-nick-cannon-white-people-are-a-little-less-closer-to-animals-true-savages">said</a>. &#8220;So, therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion. Melanin comes with compassion, melanin comes with soul. We call it soul. Soul brothers and sisters. That&#8217;s the melanin that connects us. So the people that don&#8217;t have it, and I&#8217;m going to say this carefully, are a little less.”
“When they didn&#8217;t have the power of the sun, the sun then started to deteriorate them, so then they&#8217;re acting out of fear, they&#8217;re acting out of low self-esteem, they&#8217;re acting out of a deficiency,&#8221; Cannon continued. &#8220;So, therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill &#8230; in order to survive.&#8221;
“They had to be savages, they had to be barbaric, because they&#8217;re in these Nordic mountains, they&#8217;re in these rough &#8230; environments, so they&#8217;re acting as animals,&#8221; Cannon added. &#8220;So they’re the ones that are actually closer to animals; they’re the ones that are actually the true savages.&#8221;

On Wednesday, many CBS News staffers got a shock: they were fired.
CBS News president Susan Zirinsky, head of a news network that employs over 500 staffers, issued a memo on Wednesday that management &#8220;had to make some extremely difficult decisions&#8221; due to &#8220;the economic fallout from the pandemic coming on top of the cost savings initiatives already underway from the merger of CBS and Viacom,” <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cbs-news-hit-hard-by-layoffs-is-shocked-1296157">The Hollywood Reporter</a> (THR) noted.
<a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/05/27/cbs-news-cuts-75-staffers-in-painful-day/">Page Six,</a> which reported that 75 members of the news network were fired, wrote that the memo stated:
<blockquote>None could have foreseen the economic fallout from the pandemic coming on top of the cost savings initiatives already underway from the merger of CBS and Viacom. As a result, we have scrutinized our entire business model, our budgets, and what we learned in news-gathering during the last months. We are not alone; media companies and businesses all over the country are re-organizing and developing new operating models.
Working with reduced budgets, we have had to make some extremely difficult decisions. I’m sad to report today that some of our colleagues and good friends will be leaving the company. These decisions are particularly painful for our entire organization, which has performed at the highest level during the COVID-19 pandemic, overcoming so many obstacles. But this restructuring is necessary to ensure CBS News remains strong long into the future.
CBS News is not alone in this process — similar changes are happening across many CBS divisions today and have taken place in Viacom divisions over the past few months. We looked at every option and exhausted other available cost-savings before taking this step. There is nothing more upsetting than having to face these economic realities and I’ve tried very hard to minimize the impact on all of you. While it is a painful day, I know the strength and the power of this organization, and I know that we can go forward in a meaningful way.</blockquote>
One CBS News staffer told THR, &#8220;Everyone is shocked.&#8221; On a phone call with employees, Zirinsky reportedly stated, &#8220;There isn’t a single person leaving who did a bad job. It’s economics. It is absolutely the financials that has forced us to make these decisions. &#8230; I’m really sorry. There is not a person who won’t be missed … It is hard to come to an organization and make cuts when you have stepped up to the plate and delivered,” adding the network &#8220;tried to spread the cuts out across every broadcast so the journalism would not be impacted.&#8221;
Zirinsky announced in mid-March that CBS News’ morning show would be broadcast from the Ed Sullivan Theater because the network&#8217;s headquarters was empty. On the staff phone call Wednesday, she referenced that decision, saying, &#8220;If you would have told me I’d be in the Ed Sullivan control room for 11 f***ing weeks, I would have said, &#8216;Give me some of whatever you’re smoking.'&#8221;
Last December Viacom and CBS merged. THR reported, “In New York, some 450 staffers have been impacted by cuts companywide at ViacomCBS since January, per a filing with the state&#8217;s Department of Labor.”

Candidates Attend The Tenth 2020 Democratic Presidential Debate

CBS News Fires Scores Of Staffers

Former CBS News President Van Gordon Sauter says hidden left-wing bias is a growing problem in the media and is threatening “social cohesion” in the United States.
In an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-liberal-leaning-media-has-passed-its-tipping-point-11590430876">op-ed</a> published by The Wall Street Journal Monday, Sauter, who led CBS from 1982-83 and in 1986, slammed news outlets that maintain a veneer of objectivity and fairness while pushing reporting biased in favor of left-wing politics.
Sauter began by recalling a conversation from 35 years ago when he insisted that the media at large was only tilted to the left and “could be corrected.” He goes on to say that his prediction was wrong and instead of the media correcting toward the center, it has driven farther left, especially under President Trump.
<blockquote>The highly influential daily newspapers in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Boston are now decidedly liberal. On the home screen, the three broadcast network divisions still have their liberal tilt. Two of the three leading cable news sources are unrelentingly liberal in their fear and loathing of President Trump.
News organizations that claim to be neutral have long been creeping leftward, and their loathing of Mr. Trump has accelerated the pace. The news media is catching up with the liberalism of the professoriate, the entertainment industry, upscale magazines and the literary world. Recent arrivals are the late-night TV hosts who have broken the boundaries of what was considered acceptable political humor for networks.</blockquote>
The former cable news executive notes that the traditional rules of journalism such as “objectivity, balance, and fairness” have been set aside by many reporters convinced that, in covering the Trump administration, they are more concerned with ousting a “dangerous leader” than reporting facts.
The left-wing media has catered to an audience that rewards outlets for overzealous reporting and minimally punishes mistakes as long they are made in favor of one side and against the other, he explains. The dynamic has made outlets reliant on the traffic driven by biased coverage to cover their bottom lines.
“There’s probably no way to seal the gap between the media and a large segment of the public. The media likes what it is doing. Admires it. Celebrates it. There is no personal, professional or financial reason to change. If anything, the gap will expand,” Sauter says.
Sauter proposes that rather than returning to the old doctrine of objectivity, media companies, and their audiences, would be better served if they became honest about their biases.
<blockquote>Publications open about their bias might feel freer to focus on the specifics: story selection, presentation, facts, fairness, balance. Not devoid of subtlety for sure, but manageable.
Journalism affects social cohesion. Convinced of its role and its legitimacy, however, the media doesn’t seem to much care. And the other side can certainly enjoy throwing rotten tomatoes at distant targets.
But America won’t reunite until far more people can look at a news story in print or on the screen and, of all things, believe it.</blockquote>

Media Bias

President Trump blasted &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; for airing what he described as an &#8220;incorrect&#8221; interview with &#8220;fake whistleblower&#8221; Dr. Rick Bright, who says he was ousted from his position as director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for political reasons.
In the interview with host Norah O&#8217;Donnell, Bright, a &#8220;whistleblower&#8221; who claimed last week in front of a House subcommittee that the Trump administration pressured officials to push hydroxychloroquine and that he was ignored after warning about shortages of some medical equipment, again criticized the Trump administration&#8217;s handling of the pandemic.
“The best scientists that we have in our government who are working really hard to try to figure this out aren’t getting that clear, cohesive leadership, strategic plan message yet,” said Bright, as reported by <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-calls-whistleblower-a-creep-and-lashes-out-at-norah-odonnell-for-60-minutes-interview/">Mediaite</a>. “Until they get that, it’s still gonna be chaotic.”
As <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/13/rick-bright-vaccine-chief-coronavirus-254127">Politico</a> reported last week, while Bright says he was ousted from his position with BARDA by the administration because he pushed back against the promotion of hydroxychloroquine, &#8220;some colleagues say Bright’s complaint leaves out the full context for the pivotal malaria drug episode, which two current and two former officials say paints a murkier picture of Bright’s claims.&#8221;
<blockquote>Some of his allegations about department decisions on Covid-19 don’t match officials’ statements or the public record. And Bright’s central claim that he was ousted for battling Trump appointees over science is less than certain given that some of his own staff spent months raising concerns about his leadership, including a complaint filed by a person in Bright’s office last summer.</blockquote>
Ahead of Bright&#8217;s testimony in front of a subcommittee — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whistleblower-rick-bright-testifies-to-anna-eshoos-committee-a-company-in-her-district-got-110-million-from-agency-he-ran">chaired by a close ally of Bright</a> — Trump said the &#8220;so-called&#8221; whistleblower is simply a &#8220;disgruntled employee&#8221; who is widely &#8220;not liked or respected&#8221; by people with whom he has worked.
“I don’t know the so-called Whistleblower Rick Bright, never met him or even heard of him, but to me he is a disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by people I spoke to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our government!” Trump tweeted ahead of Bright&#8217;s testimony Thursday.
On Sunday, Trump took aim at CBS for airing the interview with Bright, specifically calling out O&#8217;Donnell and Shari Redstone, chairwoman of ViacomCBS. He also made sure that Health and Human Services Sec. Alex Azar knew that Bright was &#8220;trashing him on T.V.&#8221; and that Maine Sen. Susan Collins was witnessing what was happening with &#8220;this whole Whistleblower racket.&#8221;
&#8220;[60 Minutes] &amp; third place anchor, [Norah O&#8217;Donnell], are doing everything in their power to demean our Country, much to the benefit of the Radical Left Democrats,&#8221; Trump wrote in a tweet thread Sunday (posts below). &#8220;Tonight they put on yet another Fake &#8216;Whistleblower&#8217;, a disgruntled employee who supports Dems, fabricates stories, &amp; spews lies.&#8221;
&#8220;[60 Minutes] report was incorrect, which they couldn’t care less about. Fake News!&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I don’t know this guy, never met him, but don’t like what I see. How can a creep like this show up to work tomorrow &amp; report to [HHS Sec. Alex Azar], his boss, after trashing him on T.V.?&#8221;
&#8220;This whole Whistleblower racket needs to be looked at very closely, it is causing great injustice &amp; harm,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I hope you are listening [Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)].&#8221;
&#8220;I also hope that Shari Redstone will take a look at her poorly performing gang,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;She knows how to make things right!&#8221;

Trump Unloads On ‘60 Minutes’ For ‘Incorrect’ Whistleblower Interview; Namechecks Key Players

Former Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s rapid response director, Andrew Bates, attacked CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge over her scoop, which revealed the names of Obama administration officials who had requested documents that led to the &#8220;unmasking&#8221; of former national security advisor Michael Flynn, calling her a &#8220;right wing hack&#8221; before abruptly deleting the tweet.
Herridge was the first reporter to obtain a copy of the declassified report, giving CBS News the edge in reporting that officials, including Biden himself, had requested intelligence agencies identify unnamed Trump administration officials listed as having communicated with a Russian official under NSA surveillance.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Yates, clearly incensed that his boss was named in the report, responded to the report by calling Herridge names and attacking her reputation as a reporter in a shocking diatribe.
&#8220;SCOOP: Catherine Herridge is a partisan, rightwing hack who is a regular conduit for conservative media manipulation ploys because she agrees to publicize things before contacting the target to ask for comment,&#8221; Yates snarled.
Bates later deleted the tweet but not before a number Twitter users captured a screenshot.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Eventually, the Biden campaign, through Bates, issued an official response, but it did not include an apology from their own rapid response director for directly attacking a member of the media. Instead, it accused the Trump campaign of orchestrating a political attack against Biden.
“These documents have absolutely nothing to do with any FBI investigation and they confirm that all normal procedures were followed &#8212; any suggestion otherwise is a flat-out lie,” Bates said in a statement.
&#8220;It’s telling that these documents were selectively leaked by Republicans abusing their congressional powers to act as arms of the Trump campaign after having them provided by a partisan official installed for this very purpose,” he added. “The only people with questions to answer are Grenell, Sen. Grassley and Sen. Johnson for their gross politicization of the intelligence process,&#8221; he said, referring to the two Senators who sent the declassified documents to reporters.
The Biden campaign has made President Donald Trump&#8217;s treatment (or, in their view, mistreatment) of the mainstream media a hallmark of their campaign and a statement about press freedom appears in Biden&#8217;s stated platform, which goes so far as to call &#8220;intimidation&#8221; of the media an &#8220;authoritarian&#8221; tactic.
“A free press is essential to a free society. Tyrants know this all too well. That is why attacking the press and attempting to intimidate independent media is a standard part of the authoritarian playbook,” Biden&#8217;s campaign said in a statement earlier this month.
In a targeted attack directly, the Trump campaign used Biden&#8217;s own words to respond to Bates&#8217; attack on Herridge.
“Attacking the press and attempting to intimidate independent media is a standard part of the authoritarian playbook,” the president’s campaign said, quoting Biden directly. “Efforts to undermine public confidence in the integrity of fact-based reporting violate our core American values and threaten our very system of government.”

‘Right-Wing Hack!’: Biden Rapid Response Director Attacks Catherine Herridge Over ‘Unmasking’ Story

2020 Election

Michael Flynn

President Donald Trump and numerous journalists slammed left-wing CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang on Monday over her behavior during the White House Coronavirus Task Force news conference.
First, Jiang falsely suggested that Trump delayed widespread testing to cover-up the extent of the coronavirus testing in the U.S. so he could reopen the economy.
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/contamination-at-cdc-lab-delayed-rollout-of-coronavirus-tests/2020/04/18/fd7d3824-7139-11ea-aa80-c2470c6b2034_story.html">The Washington Post</a> and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/health/cdc-coronavirus-lab-contamination-testing.html">The New York Times</a> had reported already that the delay in testing came from manufacturing errors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) where the tests were accidentally contaminated and testing was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/18/politics/cdc-coronavirus-testing-contamination/index.html">delayed</a> as a result for weeks.
Jiang also suggested that Trump was trying to open the economy for political reasons, which completely ignores the fact that tens of millions of Americans have <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/30/economy/unemployment-benefits-coronavirus/index.html">lost</a> their jobs, some are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/us/coronavirus-poverty-school-lunch.html">struggling</a> to feed their families, and suicides are <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-deaths-suicides-drugs-alcohol-pandemic-75000/">projected</a> to skyrocket.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Jiang later suggested that Trump&#8217;s desire to be the best in the world at testing was a bad thing because of the number of Americans who are dying every day from the coronavirus.
Trump said to ask China that question, to which Jiang, who <a href="http://archive.is/1oIZ1">describes</a> herself as &#8220;Chinese born&#8221; in her Twitter bio, tried to turn Trump&#8217;s statement into a racial incident.

Surprisingly, numerous journalists called out Jiang&#8217;s antics at the news conference.
Mediaite reporter Colby Hall tweeted: &#8220;If Trump had never before mentioned China in context of the coronavirus, then his &#8216;Ask China&#8217; to an Asian reporter might be considered unfairly racialized. But calling it out as “racist” seems an irresponsible reach.&#8221;

President Trump Holds Press Briefing On Virus Testing

Trump, Journalists Shred Left-Wing CBS Reporter Weijia Jiang For Behavior During Press Conference

If the &#8220;first rough draft of history&#8221; in the news media sounds dubious, the second draft made by Hollywood will almost certainly be worse. I&#8217;m not talking about documentaries, which can be judged as journalism. I&#8217;m talking about movies and TV shows, which will inevitably be pressed to dramatize things so they are evermore loosely &#8220;based on real events.&#8221;
CBS has been preparing a miniseries based on former FBI Director James Comey&#8217;s memoir, pompously titled &#8220;A Higher Loyalty.&#8221; In the memoir, he lectured, &#8220;Ethical leaders choose a higher loyalty to those core values over their own personal gain.&#8221; But the personal gain was sweet for Comey.
First came the high-roller book deal with 850,000 copies, heavily promoted by all the Democrat-repeating networks. In Comey&#8217;s case, that included an hourlong prime-time ABC &#8220;news&#8221; special during which he was interviewed by that nonpartisan George Stephanopoulos. The book sold like hotcakes to Trump haters. Add some more millions for his optioning the book to Hollywood for &#8220;entertainment.&#8221;
Production was slated to begin last November, but there&#8217;s no word if it was anywhere near done before the coronavirus pandemic kicked in. Apparently, CBS Television Studios hasn&#8217;t even decided where this Heroic Comey miniseries will land, either on Showtime or the CBS All Access streaming service, where it would be an easy match with the network&#8217;s Trump-trashing drama &#8220;The Good Fight.&#8221;
Comey will be played by Trump-hating actor Jeff Daniels, who recently made the New York media swoon by starring as heroic lawyer Atticus Finch in &#8220;To Kill a Mockingbird&#8221; on Broadway. The miniseries director, Billy Ray, said Daniels was picked because he had &#8220;instant integrity, loads of warmth, intelligence, complexity and gravitas.&#8221; That&#8217;s obviously how they expect to portray Jim Comey: as another heroic lawman on the actor&#8217;s resume.
Ray promised he would make a &#8220;fair, responsible and comprehensively documented account of real-life events,&#8221; CBS said in a press release. But current events are intruding on Comey&#8217;s memoir and his picture of a heroic and nonpartisan FBI battling a president with no respect for the rule of law. For example, new documents have surfaced that purport to show the FBI agents who investigated President Donald Trump&#8217;s former national security adviser Michael Flynn sought &#8220;to get him to lie&#8221; so they could &#8220;prosecute him or get him fired.&#8221; Does that sound nonpartisan?
Comey bragged to MSNBC&#8217;s Nicolle Wallace in 2018 that he flouted the usual protocols for interviewing a top White House official. Usually, the White House counsel is contacted and an interview is carefully arranged. In this case, Comey just sent in his agents, the ones scheming to &#8220;prosecute him or get him fired.&#8221; Former Comey aide Josh Campbell admitted in his own memoir that Comey said, &#8220;We just decided, you know, screw it.&#8221;
Flynn didn&#8217;t see the attack coming. He said sure and did the FBI interview — without a lawyer present. He walked right into shark-infested waters and lied to the sharks, turning his life upside down.
Attorney General William Barr has decided to vacate Flynn&#8217;s conviction, finding the adventurous FBI interview was &#8220;untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI&#8217;s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn.&#8221;
I think we can guess the CBS miniseries will glide right over the latest developments to keep its focus on Heroic Comey, no matter how much that narrative is collapsing. It&#8217;s likely the series will be the latest in a line of conservative-smearing historical dramas aired by CBS/Showtime, from the Clarence Thomas-whipping &#8220;Strange Justice&#8221; to &#8220;The Reagans.&#8221;
But CBS — the Dan Rather network — lectures the rest of us to stop spreading disinformation.

GRAHAM: Hollywood’s Heroic Comey Story Collapses

Hollywood

On Thursday night, CBS Chicago ran a full segment on a local ice cream truck driver for, first and foremost, violating &#8220;COVID-19 protocol,&#8221; as well as apparently &#8220;breaking the law&#8221; for being in a part of town that bars ice cream trucks — a fact they &#8220;learned&#8221; after one of their reporters harassed the worker on a bike.
The segment included a video of CBS Chicago assignment editor and journalist Greg Kelly scolding &#8220;Mr. Freeze&#8221; for selling ice cream despite the stay-at-home order, and closed with encouragement for viewers to called 9-1-1 if they see &#8220;that ice cream man.&#8221;
&#8220;No gloves? No Mask? No problem,&#8221; CBS Chicago anchor Brad Edwards captioned the segment via Twitter. &#8220;This ice cream man is not only ignoring COVID-19 protocol, but he&#8217;s breaking the law. Such trucks are forbidden [in] Hoffman Estates.&#8221;
&#8220;The Village Manager says if you see him, call 9-1-1,&#8221; Edwards added.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s Mr. Freeze, (not his name), unmasked, ungloved, taking cash for cones,&#8221; Edwards says as the camera zooms in on the ice cream truck driver&#8217;s face. At the time, the CBS chyron reads, &#8220;Ice Cream Truck Driver Not Practicing Social Distancing In Hoffman Estates.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s when CBS assignment editor Greg Kelly said, wait a minute,&#8221; Edwards continues. Kelly is next shown tracking down the worker on his bike and scolding him for selling cones with a permit he got &#8220;before the stay-at-home order!&#8221;
&#8220;Why are you trying to take ice cream out of the hands of children?&#8221; the worker pushed back against the CBS reporter, adding, &#8220;Are you sick? &#8230; I&#8217;m not sick either, so why are they quarantining healthy people?&#8221;
The ice cream truck driver told Kelly he had a permit and suggested the assignment editor leave him alone.
In a shaky voice, Kelly responds, &#8220;Right, you got the permit before the stay at home order!&#8221;
&#8220;He drove off after the questioning of our assignment, desk editor, dad, biker, and journalist Greg Kelly,&#8221; said Edwards, &#8220;but this all happened at Hoffman Estates, and tonight we&#8217;ve learned ice cream trucks there are banned, have been for years.&#8221;

‘How Is This Real’: CBS Slammed For Segment Harassing Ice Cream Truck Driver During Stay-At-Home Order, Encouraging Folks To Call 9-1-1

COVID-19

On Monday, CBS News was forced to issue an embarrassing &#8220;clarification&#8221; after the network ran with an apparently unverified video concerning a crying nurse from Chicago.
&#8220;In tears, a nurse says she quit her job after she was asked to work in a coronavirus ICU without a face mask: &#8216;America is not prepared, and nurses are not being protected,'&#8221; CBS captioned a video of the nurse in question, later identified as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nurse.iv/">nurse and lifestyle blogger</a> Imaris Vera.
&#8220;I quit my job today,&#8221; Vera says in the viral video, tears streaming down her face. &#8220;I wanted to work, and I was assigned to a COVID patient on an ICU unit that has been converted to a designated COVID unit.&#8221;
&#8220;None of the nurses are wearing masks,&#8221; she claimed, &#8220;not even surgical masks in the hallways when they’re giving report to each other.&#8221;
&#8220;I had my own N95 mask,&#8221; the woman continued. &#8220;I told my manager, I understand we’re short on supplies, but let me protect myself, let me feel safe. I have family that I have to come home to, and the way things are looking, this isn’t gonna get any better.&#8221;
&#8220;America is not prepared and nurses are not being protected,&#8221; Vera closed the video, which, as of Monday, has racked up over 7.2 million views.
CBS, which apparently picked up the video from the blogger&#8217;s heavily trafficked Instagram page, added sad music and a video caption: &#8220;This nurse had to make a difficult decision in order to protect herself and family members with pre-existing conditions.&#8221;
Upon watching the gut-wrenching video and reading the outlet&#8217;s captions, one could only assume Vera and fellow nurses were not given any masks.
But this was apparently not the case.
CBS News posted a follow-up &#8220;clarification&#8221; on Monday: &#8220;Imaris Vera, the nurse in this video, clarified her experience on Monday in a tweet: &#8216;We were each assigned 1 N95 per 1 covid patient’s room but was not allowed to wear it outside of the room, wear our own N95 mask around the Nurses station or Halls, which I came prepared with.'&#8221;
&#8220;The hospital, Northwestern Medicine, acknowledged that Imaris Vera had quit her job, but referred CBS News to Vera as to the details of why,&#8221; the news outlet added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Vera had apparently not worked at the hospital for over a year before going in and quitting, according to messages she has posted online.
&#8220;Prior to CBS picking up this video, Imaris posted on her public Facebook page that she has anxiety and bi-polar depression and had not been an employee at the hospital for over a year. She mentioned in her post that she was unsure if she was ready to return to her job,&#8221; <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/06/cbs-news-posts-fraudulent-video-icu-nurse-crying-over-poor-working-conditions/#.Xoto3z8aCK4.twitter">The Federalist</a> reported Monday. &#8220;Imaris also said the growing volume of information on coronavirus &#8216;triggers&#8217; her.&#8221;
In one message allegedly posted by Vera, she wrote: “The information overload can be hard for me to sift through as far as what is credible and what is not, it triggers me.&#8221;
&#8220;Nurses and medical workers are working tirelessly with inadequate protection gear, and they are the real heroes,&#8221; The Federalist noted. &#8220;For an Instagram &#8216;influencer&#8217; to deliberately misrepresent her career for the instant glorification of internet fame is sickening.&#8221;

Surgical Mask/ Flu Mask On Blue Background

WATCH: CBS Forced To Walk Back Viral Video Of Crying Nurse

CBS News was forced to admit that it made an &#8220;editing mistake&#8221; after social media users noted that it used horrifying footage of an overcrowded Italian hospital in a report about New York City.
The footage, filmed in Bergamo, Italy, near the epicenter of that country&#8217;s coronavirus outbreak, shows a ward crowded with coronavirus patients, stacked together and coughing as doctors, wearing personal protective equipment, dash between them, clearly overwhelmed. As the camera pans around, the footage shows more patients lined up head to foot in hallways and in every corner of the hospital.
Sky News first aired the report on the Bergamo hospital on March 22nd and CBS, apparently lacking in similarly terrifying footage from New York City&#8217;s own medical facilities, repurposed it on March 25th.
“That is because more than half of the nation’s new coronavirus cases are being found right here,” a voice says over the footage in the CBS report. “Crowded subway cars may have accelerated the spread. New York’s governor says FEMA gave the state 400 ventilators.&#8221;
The report then cuts to scenes of the New York City subway.
Twitter user @Alx spotted the film and used a side-by-side comparison to show how CBS placed the footage into a report about New York City, likely leaving viewers with the impression that many of the city&#8217;s hospitals are so overwhelmed, patients are being left to suffer in hospital hallways.
&#8220;During a Pandemic it is essential that the Media gives us real and accurate information,&#8221; @Alx noted. &#8220;It’s completely irresponsible for <a class="PrettyLink profile customisable h-card" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/CBSNews" data-mentioned-user-id="15012486" data-scribe="element:mention">@CBSNews</a> to use footage from an Italian Hospital when talking about the outbreak in New York City. This is unacceptable.&#8221;

CBS, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cbs-news-admits-mistake-after-airing-footage-of-overcrowded-nyc-hospital-that-was-actually-in-italy">Fox News reports</a>, finally admitted that it had made a &#8220;mistake&#8221; late Monday, blaming the report on an editing error.
&#8220;It was an editing mistake. We took immediate steps to remove it from all platforms and shows,&#8221; a CBS spokesperson told Fox.
&#8220;We took immediate steps to remove it from all platforms and shows,&#8221; the network added when speaking to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cbs-news-blames-editing-mistake-after-footage-from-italian-hospital-appears-in-report-on-new-york-coronavirus-crisis">Washington Examiner</a>.
Some social media users remained unconvinced by CBS&#8217;s excuse, noting that the CBS footage seems to remove bits of the film that show signs written in Italian &#8212; a sign that CBS may have reviewed the clip before shoehorning it into a story about New York City.
New York City is the epicenter of the virus in the United States, with more than 900 deaths and, as of Tuesday morning, more than 75,000 individual cases of coronavirus. Hospitals are, reportedly, overwhelmed, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/health/nyc-hospitals-overwhelmed-by-coronavirus-patients-resident-warns">Fox News</a>, which notes that hospitals in Queens and Brooklyn, two boroughs of New York City, seems to be suffering the most from the city&#8217;s outbreak.
Healthcare workers are also being affected by the virus. &#8220;Hospital operator Northwell Health said 155 of its 72,000 employees have tested positive for coronavirus,&#8221; per Fox News. &#8220;The New York State Nurses Association said at least 67 nurses had been infected. The union for the city’s EMS workers said more than 50 had tested positive and more than 400 are showing symptoms.&#8221;
On Monday, a Navy hospital ship docked near New York City to provide additional medical support and the United States Army Corps of Engineers is setting up several field hospitals to handle overflow, particularly of coronavirus patients who do not need intensive care facilities.

CBS News Says It Made A ‘Mistake‘ Airing Terrifying Footage Of Italian Hospital During Report About NYC

After 25 seasons, &#8220;Judge Judy&#8221; is officially coming to an end, but host Judy Sheindlin — television&#8217;s top-paid personality — already has something new in the works.
The popular courtroom reality TV show host made the big announcement in an appearance on &#8220;The Ellen DeGeneres Show&#8221; on Monday and, like the seasoned professional that she is, teased the next big thing.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve had a 25-year-long marriage with CBS [Television Distribution, which distributes the show], and it&#8217;s been successful,&#8221; Sheindlin told DeGeneres, in comments reported by <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/judge-judy-ending-25-seasons-new-show-judy-justice-works-1282015">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
CBS, Sheindlin explained, felt that it was time to end the show after more than two decades and to instead focus on &#8220;optimally utililiz[ing]&#8221; the reruns.
&#8220;Next year will be our 25th season, silver anniversary, and CBS sort of felt, I think, they wanted to optimally utilize the repeats of my program,&#8221; said Sheindlin. &#8220;Because now they have 25 years of reruns. So what they decided to do was to sell a couple of years&#8217; worth of reruns.&#8221;
As for herself, Judge Judy said she&#8217;s &#8220;not tired,&#8221; and, in fact, she&#8217;s already working on a new show &#8220;Judy Justice,&#8221; that will come out a year after this final season of her sunsetting show.
But on which network that show will air Sheindlin wouldn&#8217;t say. Asked about it by DeGeneres, Sheindlin said, &#8220;I can&#8217;t tell you yet.&#8221;
In its report on the announcement, THR notes that Sheindlin is &#8220;the highest-paid personality on TV, earning $47 million a year,&#8221; since signing her current deal back in 2015. In 2017, she worked out another blockbuster deal, where CBS bought the complete library of her show for nearly $100 million.
Sheindlin has been in the news as of late for more than just her beloved long-running show after weighing in on the 2020 presidential election, officially endorsing a candidate for the first time in her career back in October. The famous TV personality announced her endorsement of Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg in an op-ed for <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/10/16/judge-judy-michael-bloomberg-presidential-race-2020-column/3984012002/">USA Today</a> in late-October.
“I was invited to speak at the Cambridge Union in England earlier this month, and it was an honor to meet with so many intelligent, socially involved people,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;During the Q&amp;A that followed my remarks, the moderator asked my opinion about the 2020 presidential election, and I didn’t mince words. I said our American family has been fractured in recent years. We’re hopelessly divided, and a bitterly divided family cannot thrive.&#8221;
&#8220;The only way we can begin to come together again, I said, is if Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, becomes our next president,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I realize I am taking a personal and a career risk in making such a statement. I have carefully stayed away from politics for 50 years, except to vote. But times have changed in our country, and I believe the moment has come for me to step out from behind the curtain. I want to speak honestly and from the heart — regardless of the consequences.&#8221;
Since penning the op-ed, she has continued to push for a Bloomberg presidency, including during an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-judge-judy-endorses-mike-bloomberg-2020-on-the-view-greatest-president">appearance</a> on &#8220;The View&#8221; in January.

Emmy Award-winning journalist Lara Logan has secured a deal with Fox News&#8217; streaming service Fox Nation, a report from <a href="https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/lara-logan-fox-nation-documentary-fox-news-1203407885/">Variety</a> published Monday revealed.
Logan, the former chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News and a correspondent for “60 Minutes,&#8221; will be hosting a four-part docuseries called &#8220;No Agenda&#8221; for the streaming service, which is set to debut  in January of 2020.
The docuseries &#8220;will feature four 90-minute installments, each comprised of four episodes that will be released simultaneously on the platform,&#8221; Variety reported. &#8220;Logan will focus on four topics: media bias, immigration, socialism and veterans. She is expected to report from &#8216;the front lines of America’s political and ideological war zones and dive into a number of hot-button issues with on-the-ground coverage and expert interviews,&#8217; according to a description.&#8221;
“This series is what American people tell me they want everywhere I go &#8212; honest, independent journalism that will not bow to propagandists and political operatives who use the media as a weapon to silence, punish and bully,” Logan said in a statement.
In February, Logan made headlines for calling out the mainstream media for dropping even the pretense of being objective, likening some journalists to “activists” and “propogandists.”
“The media everywhere is mostly liberal, not just in the U.S. But in this country, 85% of journalists are registered Democrats – that’s just a fact,&#8221; Logan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/propagandists-emmy-award-winning-journalist-lara-amanda-prestigiacomo">told</a> “<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mike-drop/id1346234726?mt=2#episodeGuid=c5cadfbd9cd84d269f96d77cc647ef89">Mike Drop</a>&#8221; podcast host Mike Ritland, a retired Navy SEAL
“How do you know you’re being lied to?&#8221; Logan continued blasting the mainstream media. &#8220;How do you know you’re being manipulated? How do you know there’s something not right with the coverage? When they simplify it all and there’s no gray. There’s no gray. It’s all one way. Well, life isn’t like that. If it doesn’t match real life, it’s probably not — there’s something wrong.”
Regarding President Donald Trump, Logan noted that nearly all coverage on POTUS is negative. &#8220;That’s distortion of the way things go in real life, because although the media has historically always been left-leaning, we’ve abandoned our pretense, or at least the effort, to be objective today,&#8221; she said.
“We’ve become political activists, and some could argue propagandists, and there’s some merit to that,” Logan bluntly added.
During the interview, the journalist also commented on Fox News being one of the only news sources on the Right.
&#8220;This is the problem that I have: There’s one Fox,&#8221; she said. &#8220;There’s one Fox and there’s many, many, many more organizations on the Left. … The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum. When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store, if they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true. You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it. And unless you seek out Breitbart on your computer, you’re probably not even going to know what the other side is saying.&#8221;
Concluding the fiery podcast, Logan told Ritland: &#8220;This interview is professional suicide for me.&#8221;
The journalist has won Emmy Awards for her work in the field, as previously noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/propagandists-emmy-award-winning-journalist-lara-amanda-prestigiacomo">The Daily Wire</a>. Logan was sexually assaulted by scores of men in a near-death attack while reporting in Egypt’s Tahrir Square on February 11, 2011. Logan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO12X1nhzzk&amp;app=desktop">broke her silence</a> on the traumatic event on “60 Minutes” in April of that year, recalling the horrifying details. Logan went back to reporting soon after recuperating from the dramatic assault.

After Calling Out Media, Former ‘60 Minutes’ Host Lara Logan Lands Deal With Fox News

Fox News

Lara Logan

On Thursday’s episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show,” Klavan talks about the media’s attempt to romanticize the next phase of impeachment proceedings in order to manipulate the public’s emotions. Video and partial transcript below: 
They’ve scheduled open impeachment hearings for next week — theoretically open impeachment hearings, and let&#8217;s just listen to the way CBS News, Norah O&#8217;Donnell, who is really bad. She is, she&#8217;s not just bad, she&#8217;s stiff and performative on the news. She&#8217;s so prejudiced, so biased that anyone with any sense of fairness has got to listen to her and think, &#8220;Wait a minute, this isn&#8217;t the news. These are Democrat talking points.&#8221; But you got to listen to this, the way she promotes the upcoming impeachment hearings.  
<blockquote>O’DONNELL: Tonight: Lights, camera, testimony. The stage is set for the first televised hearings of the impeachment inquiry. We now know when they will happen and who may be the Democrats&#8217; star witness. 
Good evening and thank you for joining us. It&#8217;s official: Historic, televised impeachment hearings begin a week from today, and it promises to be must-see TV. The Democrats plan to start with their star witness, a West Point grad with 50 years of public service. Acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor will testify Wednesday alongside Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent. Then on Friday, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch will testify. House Democrats say that&#8217;s just the beginning. 
Today, more Democrats — I should say, more of the Democrats released more transcripts from those closed door depositions, and Nancy Cordes says they offer a preview of what&#8217;s expected to be bombshell testimony.</blockquote>
Bombshell? It’s a bombshell! Lights, camera, action! I mean, it’s like over at NewsBusters, they said it&#8217;s like a prize fight, but it&#8217;s just like promotion for entertainment, promotion for a movie. It&#8217;s a blockbuster &#8230;
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3t2OFnH_VEY?start=411" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Anyway, so they&#8217;re promoting this thing like it&#8217;s a movie, and here&#8217;s a piece that The Washington Post ran on Adam Schiff, the congressman in my district. Now this guy to me is like a greasy McCarthyite dishonest guy. He&#8217;s been caught lying repeatedly. Right, he lied about the whistleblower, he lied about having evidence of Russian collusion with Trump, he has just lied from the beginning, plus he looks like a turtle taken out of his shell. I&#8217;m sorry, but he does, he looks like a turtle. [The] guy is a turtle taken out of its shell and he lies all the time, and the Left, both The New York Times, a former newspaper, and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/adam-schiff-once-wanted-to-be-a-screenwriter-can-he-give-the-trump-presidency-a-hollywood-ending/2019/10/31/07cb9594-f748-11e9-ad8b-85e2aa00b5ce_story.html">The Washington Post</a>, where democracy dies in crap, are trying to glorify this guy to make him look like a romantic figure. It is utterly amazing. I mean, people do have eyes. They do have ears, they do see things, but they&#8217;re living in their own world. So here&#8217;s the [headline]:
&#8220;Adam Schiff once wanted to be a screenwriter. Can he give the Trump presidency a Hollywood ending?&#8221; 
And we know what The Washington Post — this is in the style section, by the way. We know what The Washington Post thinks a Hollywood ending to the Trump presidency would be: It’s Trump led out of the White House in handcuffs. Ain&#8217;t going to happen, but let me read you some of this, because it actually does tell you exactly what&#8217;s happening when you think about it. 
<blockquote>When Adam Schiff was a young assistant U.S. attorney living in Los Angeles, he did what everyone does when they moved to Hollywood. He wrote a screenplay. He spent hours at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Sciences, reading the scripts for &#8220;Silence of the Lambs&#8221; and &#8220;Witness&#8221; in the library (it was the ‘90s). He leaned on his courtroom experience, thinking back on snippets of dialog during trials as he typed out a crime thriller. The prosecutor was the hero, naturally. He called it &#8220;Minotaur,&#8221; and, if you ask Schiff, it was pretty good.
&#8220;I got an offer of an option from Nick Wechsler,&#8221; Schiff said, leaning back in a leather chair inside his Capitol Hill office late last month. &#8220;He produced &#8216;The Player,’ remember that movie with Tim Robbins?&#8221;
Schiff turned down the offer, he said. He doesn&#8217;t remember it being a huge sum of money, and anyway, he was getting into a different kind of storytelling business: Politics.</blockquote>
This is The Washington Post glorifying this guy and yet also playing his hand.
<blockquote>In some ways, he&#8217;s become the chief storyteller of this drama-filled political moment. Schiff is the head of the House Intelligence Committee and leader of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry of President Trump. He&#8217;s in charge of calling witnesses, taking depositions, and subpoenaing documents. More than that, it&#8217;s his job to stitch it all together into a believable, easy-to-follow narrative. Imagine the pitch meeting: It&#8217;s like &#8220;The Manchurian Candidate,&#8221; except the president has heel spurs. It&#8217;s &#8220;The Godfather&#8221; meets &#8220;Borat.&#8221;</blockquote>
Alright, they’re telling you — you know, I talk about this on college campuses a lot because really, my expertise, is storytelling. That is what I&#8217;ve done all my life, that&#8217;s what I know about. I&#8217;ve studied it a lot, I’ve studied it deeply. I would say, I know about narrative and how it works, and I know about how it affects people and about how storyteller stories manipulate your emotions. 
Again, I think I mentioned this yesterday, you go to a movie and you cry over the death of someone who never lived, right? And that&#8217;s an important thing — it tells you that your emotions can be manipulated at a very high level, and it&#8217;s a good thing. We like it when it&#8217;s done right. But it can also be used against you, because they can manipulate emotions that are geared to one thing and tell you that they&#8217;re about another. 
The best example I can think about is a movie like &#8220;Avatar,&#8221; which is also the movie &#8220;Dances with Wolves,&#8221; which is also the movie &#8220;Pocahontas.&#8221; They&#8217;re all the same movie: A man from a civilized, in these cases white, society enters the world of a less civilized, non-white society and discovers that they&#8217;re the innocents and they&#8217;re these wonderful — what do they call them in the old days, the noble savage? — and his society is deeply corrupt. That&#8217;s the story in each one of those instances, right? His civilized society is bad, and the innocent brown people with their primitive society is good. 
Listen, all stories that move you are telling the truth, but it&#8217;s up to you to find out what that truth is. The truth is, we all know that there&#8217;s something distorting about technology, there&#8217;s something distorting about civilization. Freud called it &#8220;Civilization and Its Discontents,&#8221; and we all have this Rousseauvian feeling that there&#8217;s something we left behind, just like we have a feeling that there&#8217;s something we left behind in childhood. Maybe those feelings are connected? 
Okay, so they&#8217;re manipulating that to tell you that the white cavalry men in the West were bad and the Native Americans were good. They’re manipulating a true feeling to tell you something that is historically a lot more complicated than that, right? Historically, it&#8217;s a lot more complicated, and &#8220;Avatar&#8221; is even worse because they&#8217;re manipulating you to think that the American military is bad. Basically, they were telling you that the Iraqis and the Afghanis were innocent people and we were going in there to steal their oil. &#8230;
Anyway, this is what they&#8217;re doing: Manipulating us. They&#8217;re playing this up, [saying] it&#8217;s a dramatic moment in politics. It&#8217;s not dramatic, it&#8217;s really not. We know what the story is, we know the real story. We know that this is something that&#8217;s been going on for a long time — that they&#8217;re trying to get this president impeached.

Remember this the next time you hear someone in the media fret about &#8220;protecting whistleblowers.&#8221; After footage leaked of an ABC reporter complaining about higher-ups killing her Jeffrey Epstein story and preventing her from reporting on it for three years, ABC set out to find the person responsible for the leak. Reportedly, they did find the culprit. The person now works at CBS. According to journalist Yashar Ali, that person <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bombshell-report-alleges-abc-news-determined-the-identity-of-ex-staffer-who-leaked-damning-epstein-footage-of-their-anchor-so-cbs-news-fired-the-staffer">has now been fired</a>. Page Six adds that <a href="https://pagesix.com/2019/11/07/cbs-news-fires-staffer-who-had-access-to-leaked-amy-robach-audio/?dg">the staffer is a female</a>.
To review: A woman at ABC discovered that the network was protecting a serial rapist and sex trafficker. She blew the whistle on the scandal and left the company. ABC then tracked the woman down and enlisted CBS to fire her on its behalf. Both of these networks, who colluded to punish a whistleblower, have spent the last many months and years breathlessly extolling the virtues of whistleblowing and the evils of collusion.
<iframe title="Media Wages War Against Whistleblower | The Matt Walsh Show Ep. 366" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dc_gnVXS8vQ?start=137&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Remember what Amy Robach said in the leaked footage:
<blockquote>I’ve had the story for three years. I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air. First of all, I was told, &#8220;who’s Jeffrey Epstein, no one knows who that is, this is a stupid story.&#8221; Then the Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will — that also quashed the story. And then Alan Dershowitz was also implicated in it because of the planes. She told me everything. She had pictures, she had everything. She was in hiding for 12 years. We convinced her to come out. We convinced her to talk to us. It was unbelievable what we had — Clinton, we had everything.</blockquote>
This is a firsthand witness and victim who could present documentation to support her allegations against some of the most powerful people on Earth. ABC&#8217;s squashing of these revelations is, without question, one of the most significant media scandals in modern times. That&#8217;s what makes it all the more stunning and disgraceful that a rival network would help them punish the woman who blew the lid on it all.
Indeed, most of the mainstream media has given an assist to ABC either by mostly ignoring the scandal or by openly defending ABC. CNN&#8217;s &#8220;media correspondent,&#8221; Brian Stelter, when faced with the biggest media story of the decade, was seemingly reluctant to say anything about it at all. When he <a href="https://www.redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2019/11/06/brian-stelters-hot-take-abcepstein-story-everything-wrong-journalism-media-firefighters-today/">finally did acknowledge</a> the bombshell, he accepted ABC&#8217;s excuse at face value and turned the story into another opportunity to scold &#8220;right-wing commentators&#8221; for &#8220;stoking hatred of the media.&#8221; As for NBC, its reluctance to cover the scandal is par for the course. After all, these are the people who <a href="https://www.insider.com/nbc-execs-tried-to-shut-down-harvey-weinstein-story-2019-11">ran interference for Harvey Weinstein</a> for years.
No doubt, the media will continue acting persecuted when President Trump attacks them and labels them &#8220;enemies of the people.&#8221; But there&#8217;s a reason those attacks play so well. And they deserve all of the vitriol and contempt heaped upon them.

WALSH: ABC And CBS Just Colluded To Fire A Whistleblower. The Hypocrisy Is Breathtaking.

CBS announced on Monday that the hit action television show &#8220;Walker, Texas Ranger&#8221; will get a modern reboot and complete overhaul.
According to <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/09/walker-texas-ranger-reboot-jared-padalecki-in-the-works-chuck-norris-1202741160/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Deadline</a>, &#8220;Supernatural&#8221; star and Texas native Jared Padalecki is set to both produce the show and take over the role of Cordell Walker from original star, acting legend Chuck Norris, who wore the Texas Ranger badge for nine seasons and starred in a television film after the show ended. 
Anna Fricke, best known for executive producing the military drama &#8220;Valor,&#8221; will write and executive produce the remake along with Dan Lin (&#8220;Lethal Weapon&#8221; and &#8220;Godzilla: King of the Monsters&#8221;) and Dan Spilo (&#8220;Sunnyside&#8221;).
&#8220;Walker, Texas Ranger&#8221; was known for exploring themes of morality, family, justice, and faith. Deadline is reporting that those themes will all be facets of the new series with a focus on &#8220;rediscovering our lost common ground.&#8221;
Moving the action from its original city of Dallas to Austin, The Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jared-padalecki-star-walker-texas-ranger-reboot-1242551" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">notes</a> the plot will revolve around widower Cordell Walker returning home after some time undercover. He will receive a female partner and begin patrolling the streets of Texas&#8217; capital city and possibly beyond. No word yet on who will play his partner or if other familiar characters will appear on the show.
CBS Studios has not decided on which network the series will land. Some have speculated that the series will join their flagship network beside other remakes such as &#8220;Hawaii Five-0&#8221; and &#8220;MacGyver.&#8221; However, it is also possible that &#8220;Walker&#8221; could land at the CW, where Padalecki has spent fifteen years on their long-running series &#8220;Supernatural,&#8221; along with his co-star Jensen Ackles. That series will end on its fifteenth season later this year, freeing up Padalecki for this new project. 
&#8220;Walker, Texas Ranger&#8221; ran for eight seasons from 1993 to 2001 and starred Norris as the titular character, Clarence Gilyard as his partner James Trivette, Sheree J. Wilson as Assistant D.A. Alexandra &#8220;Alex&#8221; Cahill, and Noble Willingham as &#8220;semi-retired&#8221; Captain C.D. Parker. The last two seasons would add Nia Peeples and Judson Mills as fellow Rangers. The original show won several TV awards including Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Gilyard at the 2000 NAACP Image Awards.
&#8220;Walker&#8221; crossed over with fellow law enforcement action series &#8220;Martial Law&#8221; starring Sammo Hung and spun-off the short-lived private detective show &#8220;Sons of Thunder.&#8221; Its iconic theme song &#8220;Eyes of the Ranger,&#8221; composed by Tirk Wilder and performed by Norris, was introduced midway through the second season. 
Four years after the show ended, a reunion television film, &#8220;Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire,&#8221; was produced by Paramount Network Television and aired in October 2005. Norris, Gilyard, Wilson, and Mills all reprised their roles. Though the film garnered high ratings, CBS ultimately passed on doing further projects. 
In February 2018, Chuck Norris&#8217; film company Top Kick Productions filed a lawsuit against CBS Productions in Los Angeles for over thirty million dollars in unpaid royalties over &#8220;Walker, Texas Ranger.&#8221; According to <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/cbs-legal-battles-lawsuits-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fox Business</a>, the suit was forced into arbitration and its verdict is yet undecided. 
Norris currently hosts &#8220;Chuck Norris&#8217;s Epic Guide to Military Vehicles&#8221; on the History Channel.

CBS Rebooting Hit Series ‘Walker, Texas Ranger’

During a report detailing the sexual harassment allegations against international star Placido Domingo, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O&#8217;Donnell was caught on a hot mic inadvertently saying, “Sounds like somebody else here.”
The report segued to a reporter reading Domingo’s statement in the face of the accusations: “Still, it is painful to hear that I may have upset anyone or made them feel uncomfortable — no matter how long ago and despite my best intentions. I believed that all of my interactions and relationships were always welcomed and consensual.” As the reporter finished reading the second sentence, O’Donnell muttered off-screen, “Sounds like somebody else here.” Then the segment cut back to her.
<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7361189/Norah-ODonnell-makes-remarks-sexual-harassment-story-Placido-Domingo.html">The Daily Mail</a> noted that the audio was deleted later before it was on-air.
Last December, Brooks Harris, Sydney McNeal and Chelsea Wei <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/tv/ct-ent-charlie-rose-cbs-news-lawsuit-20181212-story.html">settled with CBS</a> after they filed suit accusing Charlie Rose of sexually harassing them and accused CBS of being “fully aware” of Rose’s actions. After the women accused Rose of sexual misconduct in November 2017, Rose was fired; O’Donnell <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/charlie-rose-fired-from-cbs-after-sexual-misconduct-allegations/">commented</a>, “This is a moment that demands a frank and honest assessment about where we stand and more generally the safety of women. Let me very clear. There is no excuse for this alleged behavior. It is systematic and pervasive. And I’ve been doing a lot of listening and I’m going to continue to do that. This I know is true: women cannot achieve equality in the workplace or in society until there is a reckoning and a taking of responsibility. I am really proud to work at CBS News, there are so many incredible people here, especially on this show. All of you here. This will be investigated; this has to end. This behavior is wrong.”

After former CBS chief Les Moonves left CBS in September 2018 following sexual harassment allegations against him, O’Donnell <a href="https://deadline.com/2018/09/norah-odonnell-les-moonves-exit-cbs-this-morning-1202461274/">stated</a> that Moonves had always treated her “fairly and with respect.” She added, “Still, for me it was another sleepless night thinking of the pain these women feel. The courage that it takes for women to come forward and talk about this. And I really didn’t know what I was going to say this morning &#8230;” She then referred to Rose’s firing ten months before:
<blockquote>10 months later, we’re still talking about this. But here’s what I said back then and I think it still holds and I want to say it again. There is no excuse for this alleged behavior. It’s systematic and it is pervasive in our culture. And this I know is true, to the core of my being: Women cannot achieve equality in the workplace or in society until there is a reckoning and a taking of responsibility … As a journalist, I am confident that the truth is going to come out. There are two prominent investigations going on with really good lawyers. This has to end. The story will continue.</blockquote>

A petition to rename the one-block stretch of New York City&#8217;s Fifth Avenue where Trump Tower is located as &#8220;President Barack H. Obama Avenue&#8221; is gaining momentum, amassing over 275,000 signatures and garnering more mainstream media attention.
&#8220;Rename Fifth Avenue in front of Trump Tower: &#8216;PresidentBarackH.ObamaAvenue,'&#8221; the MoveOn.org petition reads. The petition&#8217;s total signatures now top 276,000, gaining over 60,000 over a span of the last 24 hours.
Addressed to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Council, the petition requests that &#8220;the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets be renamed &#8216;President Barack H. Obama Avenue.&#8217; Any addresses on that stretch of Fifth Avenue should be changed accordingly.&#8221; That block happens to include Trump Tower.
The petition presents the following background, which includes the claim that Obama&#8217;s administration was &#8220;completely scandal-free&#8221; and touts the killing of radical Islamic terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden during his tenure:
<blockquote>The City of Los Angeles recently honored former President Barack Obama by renaming a stretch of the 134 Freeway near Downtown L.A. in his honor. We request the New York City Mayor and City Council do the same by renaming a block of Fifth Avenue after the former president whose many accomplishments include: saving our nation from the Great Recession; serving two completely scandal-free terms in office; and taking out Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind September 11th, which killed over 3,000 New Yorkers.</blockquote>
In comments to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tower-nyc-address-obama-avenue-petition-more-than-200000-signatures-rename-5th-avenue-president-barack-obama/">CBS News</a>, the creator of the petition, Los Angeles resident Elizabeth Rowin, made clear to any who might&#8217;ve missed it why she started the petition: to &#8220;troll&#8221; Trump.
Having seen a comedian joke online in December about renaming the street after Obama to stick it to Trump, Rowin said she thought that was a &#8220;great idea&#8221; and promptly posted the petition. &#8220;I thought, &#8216;That&#8217;s a great idea and probably no one is going to do anything about it,&#8217; so I decided to do it,&#8221; she told CBS.
While the petition got some news coverage in January, it lost momentum. But after a viral tweet from a man in Scotland this week, said Rowin, the petition started to blow up. &#8220;I really didn&#8217;t think there was a chance that it could happen,&#8221; she told CBS on Wednesday.
&#8220;I think it would be fabulous. I think people feel kind of helpless right now, and it&#8217;s a way to troll him,&#8221; she added. &#8220;If he does hear about it, maybe it would slow him down and distract him.&#8221;
Rowin hopes the liberal leadership of New York City will follow Los Angeles&#8217; lead in renaming a stretch of a street after the former president, but as CBS notes, the city prohibits re-naming streets after people who are still alive. Rowin dismissed the rule as &#8220;arbitrary,&#8221; and maintained that if L.A. could do it, why not New York.
CBS cites City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, who said he&#8217;s &#8220;not positive&#8221; that Rowin&#8217;s idea is &#8220;the best way&#8221; to honor Obama. &#8220;I&#8217;m pretty confident we can find a better way to honor the greatest president of my lifetime than by trolling the worst president of my lifetime,&#8221; he said. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Bill de Blasio&#8217;s office cheered &#8220;New Yorkers&#8221; finding &#8220;creative outlets for resistance,&#8221; but says the mayor is leaving the decision to the council.

On Tuesday morning, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-death-shrieking-heard-jail-cell-morning-he-died-metropolitan-correctional-center/">reported</a> that &#8220;shouting and shrieking&#8221; was heard from inside registered sex offender and multimillionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s jail cell at Metropolitan Correction Center the morning he died.
&#8220;CBS News has learned that the morning of Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s death there was shouting and shrieking from his jail cell. Guards attempted to revive him while saying &#8216;breathe, Epstein, breathe,'&#8221; the report <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-death-shrieking-heard-jail-cell-morning-he-died-metropolitan-correctional-center/">said</a>.
As noted by journalist Yashar Ali, the report is not entirely clear about whom all the &#8220;shouting and shrieking&#8221; was coming from. &#8220;This CBS news story is poorly written. It&#8217;s unclear if the shrieking is from the guards or from Epstein or someone else,&#8221; Ali tweeted.

As previously noted by The Daily Wire, it was announced on Sunday night that Epstein&#8217;s autopsy had been completed, though most details of the report remain undisclosed. According to an announcement from the New York City medical examiner, his cause of death &#8220;is pending further information,&#8221; a common determination.
According to multiple media <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50485/breaking-millionaire-sex-offender-jeffrey-epstein-ashe-schow">reports</a>, Epstein was found to have allegedly hanged himself on Saturday morning in his MCC cell and was transferred to a hospital in Manhattan, where he arrived in cardiac arrest. According to CBS News, Epstein&#8217;s body was identified by his estranged brother Mark.
Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson said Epstein&#8217;s representatives hired celebrity pathologist Michael Baden &#8220;to conduct an independent autopsy and they were allowed to observe the autopsy,&#8221; <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-camp-sends-pathologist-michael-baden-to-watch-over-his-autopsy">The Daily Beast</a> reported. Baden is known as the &#8220;Death Correspondent&#8221; for Fox News, <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/jeffrey-epstein-s-family-hire-celebrity-pathologist-dr-michael-baden-to-oversee-postmortem-a4211116.html">according</a> to the Evening Standard, and has been involved in the high-profile deaths of John Belushi, Anna Nicole Smith, and Michael Brown, and testified at the infamous OJ Simpson trial. The doctor has also &#8220;examined more than 20,000 bodies and was host of the HBO TV show Autopsy,&#8221; the outlet noted.
Though initial reports claimed Epstein was on suicide watch at the time of his apparent suicide, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/11/nyregion/epstein-death-manhattan-correctional-center.html">The New York Times</a> said this week that the disgraced financier was taken off suicide watch 11 days before he reportedly hanged himself.
The registered sex offender was found with marks around his neck three weeks ago, but, as noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50485/breaking-millionaire-sex-offender-jeffrey-epstein-ashe-schow">The Daily Wire</a>&#8216;s Ashe Schow, it&#8217;s unclear if the injury to his neck was from a suicide attempt, an attempt to get transferred to another prison, or an attack from another inmate.
The Times also reported that Epstein was supposed to be checked on every half-hour, but the jail failed to do so. &#8220;Mr. Epstein was supposed to have been checked by the two guards in the protective housing unit every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed that night, a law-enforcement official with knowledge of his detention said,&#8221; the report stated.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50529/epsteins-cellmate-transferred-hours-his-death-joseph-curl">According</a> to The Washington Post, Epstein&#8217;s cellmate was abruptly transferred to another cell on Friday, hours before Epstein hanged himself. The sudden transfer is being investigated.

CBS Report: ‘Shouting And Shrieking’ Heard From Epstein’s Jail Cell Morning Of Apparent Suicide

During an appearance on CNN Sunday, former &#8220;CBS Evening News&#8221; anchor Scott Pelley, who is now a correspondent for CBS&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes,&#8221; dropped some bombs on his own network, particularly the former president of the news division, whom Pelley largely blamed for his ouster.
In an interview promoting his new book, &#8220;<a data-amzn-asin="B07JD93HJ9" href="https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Worth-Telling-Reporters-Meaning-ebook/dp/B07JD93HJ9">Truth Worth Telling: A Reporter&#8217;s Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times</a>,&#8221; Pelley accused management of removing him from &#8220;CBS Evening News&#8221; because he complained to management about the &#8220;hostile work environment&#8221; toward both men and women.
&#8220;I lost my job at the &#8216;Evening News&#8217; because I wouldn&#8217;t stop complaining to management about the hostile work environment,&#8221; Pelley told &#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; host Brian Stelter, as reported by <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/ny-scott-pelley-cbs-evening-news-20190526-os22t5el3jhfde7qj64bgzi6ze-story.html">The New York Daily News</a>.
About two or three years before he was axed by the show, Pelley said, he told then-news division president David Rhodes that something must be done about how people were treated at the network. &#8220;Several years ago &#8212; four or five years ago &#8212; I went to the president of the news division and explained to him that this hostile work environment couldn&#8217;t go on for women and men,&#8221; said Pelley. &#8220;He told me that if I kept agitating about that internally, then I&#8217;d lose my job.&#8221;
After being told by the next man up the ladder at the news division (who <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/cbss-scott-pelley-blasts-former-boss-david-rhodes-for-hostile-work-environment">The Daily Beast</a> notes is presumably former CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager) that his complaints weren&#8217;t valid, Pelley said he approached then-CBS CEO and Chairman Les Moonves. Moonves, who resigned last year amid a series of #MeToo sexual harassment allegations, &#8220;listened to me very concerned for an hour, asked me some penetrating questions about what was going on,&#8221; said Pelley. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t hear back from him but in the next opportunity in my contact, I was let go from the &#8216;Evening News.'&#8221;
CBS announced on May 31, 2017 that Anthony Mason would replace Pelley, and the host officially signed off two weeks later, NY Daily News notes. Pelley was then moved over to the position of full-time correspondent with &#8220;60 Minutes,&#8221; a situation he described as &#8220;all blue sky.&#8221;
&#8220;As you say now, everything has changed,&#8221; Pelley told Stelter. &#8220;We have a new chairman of CBS Corporation, Joe Ianniello, a visionary leader. We have the first woman president of the news division, Susan Zirinsky, and I&#8217;ve known her for 30 years. &#8230; And now we have a new executive producer, Bill Owens, at 60 Minutes. It&#8217;s all blue sky from here. I&#8217;m very excited. I know these people and I know that we&#8217;re on the right track.&#8221;
Citing a &#8220;longtime CBS News insider,&#8221; The Daily Beast reports that Pelley&#8217;s &#8220;hostile work environment&#8221; complaint is likely a reference to his &#8220;ongoing &#8216;war&#8217; with Rhodes, who was known within the news division for a tough, at times intimidating, management style that demonstrated little patience for the concerns of underlings.&#8221;
In a press statement, CBS News said it &#8220;disagree[s]&#8221; with their employee&#8217;s characterization of what led to his replacement. &#8220;Scott was expressing his own opinion. We disagree. CBS News has been working hard to advocate for an inclusive, safe and dignified workplace for everyone at CBS News and Scott has been a supporter of these efforts.&#8221;
The embattled network has faced a string of ugly accusations and departures, including allegations of sexual harassment against Moonves, Flager, and former &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; host Charlie Rose.

Pelley Drops Bomb On His Own Network: Here’s The Real Reason I Was Pulled From ‘CBS Evening News’; CBS Responds

MeToo

Before she signed the strongest anti-abortion bill in the nation on Wednesday, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey faced down a hostile question from a CBS reporter and immediately flattened her. CBS reporter Jericka Duncan asked, &#8220;Where is the money coming from to support people who aren&#8217;t ready to be mothers or aren&#8217;t financially stable to take care of a child?&#8221; Ivey fired back, &#8220;You simply cannot defer protecting the lives of unborn children because of costs.&#8221;

Ivey served as Alabama State Treasurer from 2003 to 2011, then served as lieutenant governor from 2011 to 2017. She became Alabama&#8217;s second female governor and first female Republican governor after the resignation of Governor Robert Bentley; she won a full term in 2018.
Ivey has not flinched from holding staunchly conservative positions; in April 2017 she <a href="https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2017/04/post_317.html">signed into law</a> a bill stating that juries that imposed capital punishment could not be overruled by judges. Frank Knaack, executive director of Alabama Appleseed, asserted, &#8220;We should all agree that if we have a death penalty then the process should be fair and accurate. SB 16 will help minimize unreliable and arbitrary death sentences and move Alabama one step closer to ending its outlier status. We commend Senator Brewbaker, Senator Sanders, and Representative England for their leadership in this effort. And, we thank Governor Ivey for her quick action to finally put an end to judicial override in Alabama.&#8221;
In May 2017, Ivey signed into law a bill that <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2017/05/crossover_voting_now_banned_in.html">prevented voters</a> from voting for one party in a primary and another party in its runoff elections. State Sen. Tom Whatley commented, &#8220;It helps the Democrats choose Democratic candidates, it helps the Republicans choose Republican candidates. It just prevents the cross-over voting so you get a pure general election with a Democrat and a Republican.&#8221;
Also in May 2017, Ivey <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/may/27/alabama-law-protects-confederate-monuments-removal/">signed</a> the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act of 2017, which prohibited the &#8220;relocation, removal, alteration, renaming or other disturbance of any architecturally significant building, memorial building, memorial street or monument located on public property which has been in place for 40 or more years.&#8221; Republican State Sen. Gerald Allen of Tuscaloosa commented, &#8220;Contrary to what its detractors say, the Memorial Preservation Act is intended to preserve all of Alabama&#8217;s history &#8213; the good and the bad &#8213; so our children and grandchildren can learn from the past to create a better future.&#8221;
In June 2018, Ivey signed a <a href="https://governor.alabama.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/GKI-180530-AlabamaSentry-ExecutiveMemo.pdf">memo</a> to implement the Alabama Sentry Program, which would &#8220;permit a school administrator, in a school without a school resource officer (SRO) who voluntarily secures the approval of his or her superintendent, school board and county sheriff to use lethal force to defend the students, faculty, staff, and visitors of his or her school from the threat of imminent bodily harm or death by an armed intruder.&#8221;
