New York Times Owner Savages See BS for Going MAGA [View all]

The publisher of The New York Times called out CBS News by name as he condemned news organizations’ willingness to bend to President Donald Trump during a speech on Thursday.

A.G. Sulzberger, who hails from the family that has long controlled the Times, delivered a scathing rebuke of Trump’s attack on the press and media leaders’ “capitulation” to the president while speaking before a press-rights group in New York.

The 45-year-old executive reserved some of his sharpest criticism for CBS’ new Trump-friendly owner, Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison, saying, “Under this new ownership, CBS has already altered programming, personnel, and policies in ways that align more closely with the administration’s preferences.”

Pointing to the intimate dinner Ellison, 43, hosted “honoring the Trump White House” last month, Sulzberger said CBS was “dispensing with even the pretense of journalistic norms.”
