CBS should be boycotted until it ceases to exist. As should any other media which happily censures itself in response to unconstutitional and fascist threats.

Any media which is so easily silenced in obedience to partisan demands serves no legitimate purpose.

Gee, it's so cool that Israel gets to directly censor our media.

@newsguyusa presumably the FCC is conducting these same "investigations" for Fox News, right? *Right*!?

@DekOfTheYautja @newsguyusa thats the kicker they aren't over the air that is cable/streaming only. So only applies to CBS versus Fox
