according to cbs, we can cover this by just doing man on the street interviews
Dear news media,
Why not spend a few minutes today explaining how the process of going to war is supposed to work in a constitutional democracy? Because it ain't this.

A consequence of our new illegal war: cancelled Caribbean flights, with spillover effects on domestic travel. Sitting in an airport now because there is no pilot for our plane. Pilot was coming in from San Juan. Airlines scrambling to staff domestic flights.

the strategy is merging paramount with warner
I have no idea who the target audience is for this CBS stuff - the strategy makes no sense unless it becomes Fox lite and Trump & co. start touting it.
this kind of signaling will do little to attract right-of-center viewers over from Fox or get low-engagement viewers with weak / ideologically unconstrained preferences to tune in, but it will actively cause them to lose left-of-center viewers to other outlets
