UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”
Update — Here is what the new apparent CBS News segment "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil" may look like:

Something you notice when you look at this stuff after a while is that the media has an immune system-like response to punish Democrats who land on effective communications strategies so that they won't stick with them bsky.app/profile/eall...
That happened in the case of Biden's campaign circle. They briefly tried punching back, were hit with an avalanche of stories for being out of touch, and quickly pivoted away from that attempt. I personally think they should've dug their heels in, but it was a hostile environment to them.

They’ll sexually harass the bar cart girls on TV to prove their MAGA bona fides.
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
