CBS accused of election interference

 Newsmax:

Change is coming to the Federal Communications Commission under President-elect Donald Trump and with it should be accountability for liberal outlets like CBS forcing left-wing bias and political activism on its viewers.

In fact, according to journalist Charles Gasparino, CBS News might be forced to come clean on how it cleaned up Vice President Kamala Harris' interview in what Trump has called an unjust election influencing campaign as the leverage of its broadcast license will hold it accountable to remaining "neutral."

"According to people close to Trump's transition team, CBS could, among other things, be forced to turn over a full transcript of the controversial '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris, which those in the Trump orbit believe shows the network played dirty during the 2024 election," Gasparino reported.

"But people close to the situation tell me the stakes could be far broader than that. In short, Skydance — a Hollywood movie studio best known for producing the recent installments of 'Mission: Impossible' — will be asked to demonstrate to Team Trump that CBS will become a fair arbiter of news."

It could unfold as Skydance Media seeks regulatory approval for its $8 billion merger with Paramount Global, and CBS could be subjected to standards to assure it is a "neutral" broadcast entity in order to retain its U.S. license under incoming FCC Chair Brendan Carr.

"Make no mistake, Brendan wants CBS to be the neutral news organization that its FCC license demands," a source told Gasparino.

"And that extends to ["The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" host Stephen] Colbert. They will call it comedy, but you can't use the public airwaves to be an extension of the DNC."
...

Most of what is called the mainstream media has always had a liberal bias.  Before Fox, you would be hard-pressed to find a major news source without a liberal bias.  That is one of the reasons why Fox shot to the top with conservative voters.

In the 2024 election, as much as 80 percent of the media was hostile to Trump's campaign.  He was able to overcome that, which is a demonstration of how ineffective the media bias was when people got into the voters' booths.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
