@rbreich I've been watching the CBS Evening News since Walter Cronkite brought police dogs and firehoses being used on Americans wo just wnated to be treated equally. I finally stopped watching a few weeks ago.

for me, the CBS Evening News has gone from primary to ancillary source and then to not-trusted status pretty rapidly. it has been sad to watch the way relatively independent news organizations have become simply generic corporate-consolidation pawns recently.

@rbreich I'm done watching 60 minutes. I can't trust them anymore. Not until Bari Weiss is thrown out on her butt. And even then I will have my doubts.

It's sad and small-minded that some folks think "loving America" means never examining its flaws.
