According to reporting from The Wrap, an FCC “ombudsman” would work directly with New Paramount’s president, Jeff Shell, to review “any complaints of bias or other concerns” regarding CBS News, a subsidiary under Paramount.
Paramount also agreed to eliminate its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, including scrapping all DEI messaging from its internal training programs and removing DEI objectives in its compensation plans.
This move comes after the company announced the cancellation of The Late Show only a few days after the eponymous host critiqued the network’s recent settlement with the president. Earlier this month, Paramount agreed to cough up $16 million to Trump after the president sued the network for allegedly unfairly editing an interview with Kamala Harris, an accusation that many legal experts have called “baseless.”
State Media. Bowing down to the dictator.
bias moniter, aka=government minders.
Ah yes, freedom of speech
Just like how the Democratic Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.
It’s right there in the name! Like how “National Socialism” is socialism!
and china used to do, GOVERNMENT MINDERS.
China still does that
All FCC licensees need to file EEO reports annually. It’s the law. DEI is literally baked into being a licensee. The fact that this is not reported is a mistake when mentioning this, or any license transfer. That is FCC’s domain regarding this deal and why it’s been held up.
Trump is flossing his ass Crack with the constitution.
Track the individuals at paramount who did this, because later they’ll slink away and fuck up some other place, but if they’re understood to be the traitors they are, they might not get the chance to cause more damage.
What a laughable attempt to silence dissent.
Two words, Law Suit, clear First Amendment violation
And who cares about that, again?
Not trolling, serious question
Given Paramount settled out of court on the most cut and dry impossible-for-Trump-to-win case thrown their way… yeah…
100%
For once, I’m on Trump’s side (sort of). Just deny this fucking merger. Both of these companies are big enough already.
