How Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss Destroyed CBS [View all]

CBS has always been my go to network for daily news reports and sometimes late night talk shows.

Now it's not that any longer.

When they hired Bari Weiss and she screwed up the evening news and 60 minutes, I tuned away from CBS. I'm trying NBC and ABC right now to find the best match for my needs. CBS is off my screen, except for local news in the morning. Our local station, WCCO, has the best local news in the Twin Cities, so I'm sticking with that.

But CBS has screwed itself. There will be no recovery from this. Once viewers leave, and they are leaving en masse, they will not return. Once they move on to a different late night host, they will not come back, either.

CBS forgot to read the room, and now the room is empty.

Ellison has no clue and Bari Weiss is an raving idiot.

Bye, now.
