If it were just a toy for his son these things wouldn't have happened
- Stephen Colbert canned
- Bari Weiss hired to head the news division
- $32 million settlement for an easily winnable lawsuit
I've probably missed some. Ellison is a huge Trump supporter and is clearly reshaping CBS to at least go easy on Trump, if not to make it yet another right wing propaganda outlet.
