      >CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and network leadership left network stations across the country scrambling after reversing course at least three times about whether or not to air President Donald Trump’s speech about election interference last week, an employee told Raw Story.

      >The staffer of a CBS affiliate, who requested anonymity due to employment concerns, told Raw Story that the network came down to the wire, changing decisions multiple times and sending conflicting messages to producers about if it would broadcast Trump’s speech about election interference and his continued false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

      >“We’re panicking. CBS Evening News is about to be on in like 15 minutes, and they still haven’t told us,” the employee said. “Finally, Network comes on the intercom and says everybody’s been asking them, are they gonna carry the address? And the answer is no, they’re not planning to, but they will have it on their streaming service.”

      >But then, 45 minutes before Trump’s speech began, affiliates pivoted again when an intercom announcement told them CBS was changing course, the employee said.

      >“The person who makes the announcement sounded super frantic and said actually they are going to be airing the address,” the employee said.

      >A third change came just a few minutes later when employees received an email that Trump’s speech would be a special report featuring “a segment of the address,” the employee said. The stations were told to plan for 20 to 30 minutes of remarks, according to an internal email viewed by Raw Story.

      >“They were jerking us back and forth, and it’s very similar to what they did on the Fourth of July,” the employee said of Trump’s keynote address during the “Salute to America 250” event on the National Mall.

      >Trump’s July 16 speech ultimately aired on Fox News and MS NOW, in addition to CBS, where the 11th-hour reversals “surprised” staffers who largely opposed airing the remarks, Status reported.

      >CNN, ABC and NBC did not air the speech live, and Trump has since threatened to revoke the licenses of those networks because of it.

      Ellison probably called up Weiss and ordered her to air it. “AIR THE FUCKIN SPEECH.”

      Well, considering what network news department she runs, girl can play Price is Right very well. Or she just pushes the red button to reveal the answer instead of flipping, flopping or flip flopping.

      This is another example of how ill equipped Bari Weiss and her team are to run a network news division. Indecisive, and either no consideration for or no concept of how disruptive that is for their 200+ stations across the country.

      Unusual behavior for a seasoned and experienced television executive like herself.

      If her job is to completely destroy CBS News, its history and legacy, then she’s doing fantastic.

      Perfect example of how news is not unbiased. Producers and executives behind the scenes change the cut points, coverage, etc to fit their bias even when trying to be unbiased.

      Worked with an executive who was always fighting for equal rights until a higher person who could kill the show made it clear to bias against indigenous stories. No call out and became clear the producers morals and ethics stopped at their bank account.

      Who cares. Can’t believe this network has any viewers at all. Are they trying to poach Fox viewers? Ain’t happening with that brainwashed crowd.
