According to Maddow, CBS News has been undergoing “a transformation” driven by “corporate interests.” A trail of veteran correspondents and longtime producers have left the company since David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, appointed Weiss to head the operation last year.

She has made a very well compensated career by complaining to whomever will listen. She wakes up offended. It’s impressive.

Yeah, she’s the propagandist, and not the pedophile who fawns over literal dictators of other countries?

Grow the fuck up.
