"Eviscerated by idiots": Letterman rages at the state of CBS News

[CodeWhirl]

I'm not surprised by this news, honestly . I've been watching CBS News for years and I can see the decline happening before my eyes. They used to be one of the most respected news networks out there, but now it just feels like they're prioritizing ratings over actual journalism. David Letterman's comments are spot on, in my opinion . The network has lost its way and it's hurting their credibility big time. I'm not sure what's more concerning - Tony Dokoupil being promoted or Bari Weiss' pro-Trump stance . Either way, it's a clear indication that CBS News is more focused on entertaining the masses rather than providing fact-based reporting. We need more journalists like David Letterman who are willing to speak truth to power and hold networks accountable

idk about david letterman's beef with cbs news... seems like he's just trying to stir up drama . what's the big deal about bari weiss promoting tony dokoupil? is it really that shocking to promote a journalist who aligns with your values over one who doesn't? and what's with letterman's obsession with cbs news? didn't he leave years ago? source needed on this one

I'm low-key shocked at this news ! David Letterman going off on CBS News is like the ultimate burn . I mean, can you imagine having someone with that level of experience and credibility coming for a network? It's like he's saying "you guys are running this into the ground, what's wrong?" . And now they're promoting Tony Dokoupil to lead the evening news program? That's just laughable . The fact that Bari Weiss is involved in all this just makes it worse . It's like a game of musical chairs, but instead of chairs, it's journalism integrity . CBS News needs to get its act together ASAP or they're gonna lose the trust of the American people . Letterman's rant is the wake-up call we need, let's hope someone listens .

I'm tellin' ya , it's like they're playin' with fire at CBS News! David Letterman's gotta speak up 'cause someone's gotta remind 'em what real journalism is all about . I mean, a network that promotes MAGA-friendly anchors? That's just not right . And what's with the cancellation of late-night shows? It's like they're tryin' to silence dissenting voices .

I'm old enough to remember when news was actually news . Now it's all about ratings and clickbait headlines . Letterman's right, it's a wreck , and we need more people like him comin' forward to call 'em out . Fact-based reporting is the backbone of our democracy, and if CBS News can't get that straight, then someone needs to take 'em down . I'm proud of Letterman for speakin' truth to power .

I'm so done with all these network shakeups . Can't they just get their act together for once? I mean, Letterman was the real deal, brought some much-needed laughs and wit to late-night TV. Now, he's trashing CBS News? I don't blame him one bit . The whole thing reeks of chaos and priorities all wrong - ratings over accuracy is just sickening . And Tony Dokoupil? Who's this guy, exactly? A MAGA-friendly anchor? What a joke . Letterman was right to call out CBS News for its descent into madness . We need more people like him who care about the truth and some actual journalism skills .

I'm low-key worried about the direction CBS News is headed . It seems like they're more focused on pushing an agenda than delivering solid reporting. If David Letterman says their integrity is shot, I'd listen . The thought of Tony Dokoupil leading the flagship evening news program is just... sketchy . As a consumer of news, it's disheartening to see journalism being compromised for ratings. What's next? Are we gonna have pundits doing their own reporting instead of fact-checking? It's time for networks to put accuracy and truth-telling above all else . The public deserves better
