Once considered a pillar of journalistic integrity, CBS now appears to be a shell of what it once was. Under the influence of figures like Bari Weiss, the network increasingly resembles something closer to state-run media, full of praise for those in power, with little to no meaningful pushback.

So what does this shift mean for democracy? Who is the media actually serving right now? And where do we go when trust in journalism continues to erode?

Don is joined by friend of the show Oliver Darcy to break it all down, why this matters, how we got here, and what accountability is supposed to look like when the press is doing its job.
