Pretty funny, they were OK with Twitter when it sanctioned their POV

[hardspunned]

At least I won’t be insulted by cBS on Twitter any longer.

[AndyTheBear]

When you would Rather See BS turn in to CBS.

[missnry]

How brave! Cannot be on a platform that “fact checks” lefties now! The uncertainty of what could be exposed for a “news” platform is too much to handle.

[Romulus]

I can’t believe CBS attracts enough traffic to matter. Maybe as much as they drive away.

[NWFree]

You mean no more fake news posted from SeeBS?

It just keeps getting better and better

[NWFree]

Now if I could just get them to vacate my TV

Hey, CBS, monitor this.

[nascarnation]

Most newer sets let you lock out channels via the remote.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Good.

[The people have spoken]

out of an abundance of caution

The most overused phrase during the pandemic.

To paraphrase the Zen koan:

What is the sound of one turd flushing?

“In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform,” Jonathan Vigliotti, CBS News national correspondent, said in a report about the latest chaos at the company on the “CBS Evening News” Friday.

Can't get much more absurd than this. CBS posts its own content there. This is just to generate an artificial negative "news" story about Elon Musk.

Bwa ha ha ha!!! What a (bunch of) maroon(s)!!!

[Republican Wildcat]

I mean seriously - what “caution” could they possibly be using? Let alone have an “abundance” of it? They control what is on their own twitter page. Musk doesn’t post their content.

[crazyhorse691]

CBS has a news division? When did that start?

[adorno]

Self-censoring.

Good, since they censor others they disagree with.

One less evil to deal with.

Now, if they would only close shop altogether, the world would be a much better place.

[Vendome]

Funny

When Twitter was 100% lockstep with their opinion....

They sued him to force him to buy the company at the price he initially offered. Well, he bought the company. And found a lot of fraud. So he did what he thought was necessary to slim down the company - laying off lots of folks. And a lot of folks decided to leave on their own, probably for ideological reasons. If they don’t like what he is doing then maybe they should not have sued to force him to buy it. It’s his company, now.
