  1. CBS News aired the Kennedy Center Honors on Tuesday using a sharply edited Donald Trump monologue and dodging his controversial “Trump Kennedy Center” rebrand.

    The new Trump-appointed Kennedy Center board voted on Dec. 18 to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” leading to almost immediate legal action.

    Despite the 79-year-old president trying to muscle the rebrand into the country’s living rooms while hosting what he called “THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER HONORS” on Tuesday evening, CBS aired the 48th Kennedy Center Honors with the institution’s long-standing name, noted The Washington Post.

    Behind the scenes, the paper said CBS News standards had circulated guidance telling staff to stick with “Kennedy Center,” noting the board’s vote alone doesn’t make the change official because Congress would have to approve it.

  4. That’s not enough. They need to do more if they want their reputation back.

  5. Revenge for what? The “fiasco” in the article is entirely self-inflicted by CBS. The title makes it sound like Trump interfered somehow and caused CBS to do the shady, Trump-appeasing bullshit they did, and they’re taking revenge. No. No one forced them to hire Bari Weiss or edit out parts of a Trump interview. They did that to make the man baby happy all on their own.

  6. CBS isn’t getting shit and they’re not getting me back as a customer. I’ve watched 60 Minutes since it started, and I am pissed. 60 Minutes has lost all credibility.

  7. CBS got revenge for the thing they did to themselves by following basic journalism standards when discussing the name of a building?

    I’ll remind you it was a Canadian broadcaster that leaked the segment of 60 Minutes CBS decided not to air under the direction of CBS.

  8. Yeah I don’t think that’s really “revenge” plus it’s not like Trump was sitting at home watching his own live presentation

  9. Not watching anything from Kennedy Center until the MAGA’s are done. Not watching CBS either. F off

  10. Calling a building by its legal name is revenge apparently

  11. CBS highly edited it so Trump would look like less of a demented old fool. They bend over backwards for his administration. Nothing that is being done by them is to harm Trump.

  13. Somehow, I don’t feel like using the correct name for a building is the same as them not showing a 13 minute video on how we are torturing people.

  14. How dare they report accurately, everyone knows facts are a direct attack on Trump

  15. Next will be a committee to determine who should be on the committee to determine the content of the strongly worded letter they will send to the white house email.

  16. Insane to me that after more than a decade, daily beast still isn’t a banned source.

  17. I refuse to watch ANYTHING with the PARAMOUNT/CBS name.
    Fuck them forever.

  18. Does anyone actually agree with the framing of that headline? Super deceptive.

    The story was killed by CBS and saved by CBC. Canadians saved the day not CBS.

  19. Really got him this time. Whew. Good job (rolls eyes).

  20. CBS is currently being molded into a Trump network. What is with this title.

  21. this is what we consider getting revenge or sticking it to trump? the bar is so low. wer fucked

  22. Revenge
    Claps back
    Returns fire
    Retaliates

    These are all nonsense words that should be reserved for the people who write for media outlets so that the rest of us can filter the BS out of our lives.

  24. CBS is, sadly, dead to me … except for sports

  25. Decades upon decades of reputable, iconic news reporting and they forever flushed it away for this fucking loser

  26. They same washed him by not showing his full speech.

    CBS is fully bought.

  29. Yeah right, they’re nothing more than state media at this point. They should just change their name to Truth Social TV and be done with it

  31. Revenge? They’re the ones who set up and agreed to this.

  32. CBS/Paramount is dead to me. canceling my subscription as I write this.

  33. That’s too little too late. I stopped watching CBS and cancelled the $120 a year Paramount+ subscription.

  34. I watched an interview of Weiss a few months ago. She has some serious millennial edge lord energy. It’s pretty disturbing.

  35. CBS is so laughably filling the role of media turncoat and is making a pathetic effort here hoping people forget.

  36. Not really. When this was recorded it was still the Kennedy center.

  37. LOL what??!! Editing down his monologue is a FAVOR to Trump. These headlines are insane.

  38. Kennedy Center will always be that. Gulf of Mexico also. Fuck that orange narcissist sociopath asshole.
