Not surprised to hear that the trumps managed to push out Sharon alfonsi. She really didn't do anything wrong other than ask a question based on testimony. But Trump didn't like it and he let her know. Now the ellisons are pushing out yet another good reporter who reports on the news like a news person not an influencer or the president's puppet. I am sure there is someone out there that will hire her up quickly because of her abilities. She may end up having to go to non-network reporting, but I'm sure someone like the bulwark, AF legal or others would be happy to have her participate. It's such a sad day for the news business once again.

Such a sad day!

I ask myself what is happening in this country every single day!

I’m so shocked a woman was ousted from CBS. Not really. On brand.

According to independent sources, Russia has lost 1,345,000 soldiers in Ukraine.

That is a casualty count, not a fatality count.

Reporters who go out to find a story, risk their lives, their health, their jobs, and stay steadfast on protecting their integrity will always be heroes. Sharon Alfonsi is a 1st-class reporter & a 1st-class individual. When I lost a boyfriend or a job, ironically, karma or God, however you want to look at it, landed me in a better place, a place when I looked back I could easily see that that person or that place wasn’t what was good for me in the long run. I wish the best for Sharon Alfonsi, certain that she’ll find herself in a better place in the long run. I’ve lived long enough to see many “richest men in the World” lose their fortunes & their places amongst the greediest & the lucky. I hope I live long enough to see the same for the Ellison, Trump, Murdoch, Witkoff, etc., families. Good Luck Sharon! 🥰

Shapiro’s organisation is collapsing because lies require endless amounts of propping up, cross referencing, and are a hard sell. That bleeds money. In the end it is simply too complicated, too much trouble to maintain, and it unravels and collapses in a sorry mess.

You are succeeding because the truth supports itself, it just needs to be disseminated. There is a big difference between the two types of organisation.

Fox News only survives because it is propped up by the billions of the oligarchs, intent on keeping the truth from the American people, if they falter the entire shoddy edifice will collapse.

They've faltered with Bill O'Really and Glenn Beck. That wasn't enough for it to collapse.

They've faltered when their lawyers won a defamation suit by successfully arguing in court that no reasonable person would take what Tucker Carlson says seriously.

They've faltered when Rupert testified under oath that Fox knowingly pushed The Big Lie, leading to a $787.5M settlement against it.

What kind of faltering did you have in mind that could lead to the collapse of its edifice?

Multiple near billion dollar settlements, one after another, over and over. At some point the well must dry up.

The scary part is both sides now support media pressure and corporate interference when it helps their tribe.

Nobody wants independent journalism anymore. They want ideological enforcement with a press badge. That’s how public trust collapses.

Rxan Smith's avatar

Both parties claim they want “independent journalism” until a story hurts their side.

Then suddenly corporate pressure, billionaire influence, censorship, selective outrage, and editorial interference become acceptable.

Americans don’t actually want unbiased media anymore. Most just want referees wearing their team’s jersey. And that may be the most dangerous political trend in the country right now. Independent journalism should focus on the thesis of this article and do it in every publication in every post to remind everyone.

60 Minutes Is On The Way Out Thanks To Our State Run Media!

Thanks 😊 Mr.Ellison I Don’t Know What The American People Would Do Without You.

He's right. All independent journalists need to talk about voting and how this week's atrocities were nothing compared to what was already in place and we need to demand better from leaders and independent journalism is how to do it. The house shouldn't always win. Not in a democracy; it shouldn't.

Legacy media that promoted the Zionist narrative on the apartheid colonial project and theft of Palestine are realizing their days are numbered. False flags, the Epstein-Mossad demonic cult are being exposed. Soon, the daily “lies” (wire), are going to be known by the American public. Once, Americans realize that, America’s occupation by the Zionists will destroy America, or has already begun, then the decision to decimate the Zionist entity will be the only alternative to restore freedom. Free Palestine 🆓🇵🇸.

Now this is the real story!!! No telling what all they will be watching when AI takes over!!

Moktar Loubiri's avatar

There is one way to hit back at the Ellison’s , stop watching CBS and problem solved, let them starve and have Trump bail them out !!

Cindy's avatar

I believe Stephen Colbert is done May 20. I will block CBS immediately after.

They fired the reporter for the same reason the DOJ and FBI pushed out all those that worked on the Trump cases. They do not want any institutional memory among the current staff that has direct knowledge of the bad things Trump has done.

John Browne's avatar

Under what particular stone, or heavy shroud does a person inhabit to have AVOIDED some indirect knowledge of the "bad things Trump has done"? ^..^

As well as being a pathetic lying shitty person, terrible reporter, a vile Arab, Muslim hating rabid dog Zionist fascist she's also a known idf rat Informer and sycophant who's directly responsible for the murder of innocent people in Gaza in 2023 2024 via Her idf buddies. A vile reptilian smirking rat informer bitch.

I'm wondering where she got the teeth from if they were in perfect condition.

Charles's avatar

For that matter, where did the eyeballs that Jeffrey displayed on the first floor of his NYC residence come from?

Sandy S's avatar

Bella, read the story again. She got them from an Indian dentist named Rajesh Kannan. She was the buyer! What was she doing with them?!?!?

bella's avatar

Thanks lol I had it backwards I though he was buying the teeth from her. Need to read slower :D

Sandy S's avatar

I did the same thing! Sooo, what did she want the teeth for???? And why has this story been covered up?
