Anyone catch CBS

60 Minutes last night. They featured a glowing report on Austin University, a start up, right wing school. All the brilliant students and excellent professors who reject DEI and want to go back to old fashioned learning. Brought to them with funding from Jeff Bezos, Harlen Crow and several other billionaire types. Free tuition and clean cut youth. CBS has drunk all the kool aide.

This is a new university. I’m sure 60 minutes didn’t add their thoughts on it.

60 Minutes has been a joke for years. Where's the deep dive into fascism, guys?
Not going to happen.
Oh, but surely there's some Broadway star to profile while the nation burns.
And fuck Leslie Stahl with a pipe wrench.

Some people say they drink and take drugs because it "enhances their personality".

I always thought, "but what if you're an asshole"?

ago cbs consumed all the kool aid, as you say. The only evening news I might watch is ABC, and lately I haven’t watched it.

Saw your thread title.

Gee, I was hoping it would be something surprisingly good, a topic that would make me say "Well, I guess not all the media is bad".

Nope, course not, only re-affirmed how much I hate the mainstream media. What is this liberal media conservatives speak about? Where?

All that whining of DEI and yet look at the qualifications on the orange lard 's cabinet, not one of them is qualified for jackshit.
