"CBS isn’t losing the evening news race, they already lost it," one veteran TV exec told me. Another called the debut a "big whiff."

Bibi is right that no POTUS has been as pro (right-wing) Israel as Trump.
Apparent in Trump Term 1, when he abandoned bipartisan US policy to move the embassy to Jerusalem and cut funding for an E. Jerusalem hospital, among other things.
But American voters didn't think that mattered. Or liked it.
