Not just a boycott, but thousands of people need to protest outside CBS and outside Bari Weiss' house and not just for a couple hours or a day.
A protest like that would expose the complicit media and CBS to see how and if they cover it. CBS maybe would give token coverage and nothing more, but because all companies are conglomerating or colluding, we'll see patterns.
FYI for my fellow DMV folks:

Canceled Paramount + subscription today. I encourage more to follow. We can also vote with outr spending and boycott
Canceled mine too
Same for me. Vowing never to watch CBS football games too.
I would like to comment on a site that has almost every free movie and show, esp newer ones. It's called lookmovie2.to and it has basically no ads (just between switching episodes), is not a scam or has any viruses, and if you want you can pay some small fee for no ads and be able to download them.
Hell, I canceled my Paramount+ back when they decided to cancel Colbert.

Already boycott when she started getting rid of colored and women reporters and staff.
Please do lot refer to non-white reporters as colored. You can use People of Color but colored, not so much.
Yeah, that word was a record scratch for me too.
Right? The sentiment was there, but no one has said that since 1945 or so.
Later than that. I have a signed baseball wrapped in a couple of pages of a 1955 Elizabeth, NJ newspaper that happened to have the apartments-for-rent classified section. Almost every ad specified Colored or No Colored.
Come on we are being too picky. This person recognized the problem. The labels and how we cant decide what we want to be called is not the most important part of the problem. The right have complained about the left being too woke and this use of labels is one reason.
I am a POC. I am a Native American. I am also known by many as an Indian which I do not like but it happens. Colored used to only refer to Black people so I understand not wanting to use that term. BUT PLEASE remember the issue is this...People should not even see color if this world is to be fixed.
It think it's OK to respectfully correct , might just need a reminder idk
Yes you are correct. I just feel like we put TOO much focus on race and at the same time we put TOO little focus on race. Hmmm?
I think it's a fair point
It is disingenuous to say ‘getting rid of reporters’ because by and large there weren’t a lot of white reporters that were let go. And it wasn’t primarily male reporters. I think context matters so pointing out that it was reporters that are women and POC is important because it absolutely points to what they are doing.
Also, I hate that people use “Indians” and have supported changing names for sports teams or anything really that has a demeaning connotation towards any group, including Native Americans.
Yes. Eye on the ball folks.
Exactly
What’s your tribe? Not too many use the term “Native American” anymore. I disagree. A color blind world doesn’t acknowledge history, which we should be learning from. Yes our history in the U.S. has included genocide, but we are still here. Ignoring a people’s and communities’ history blinds us to their strengths and resilience too. Yes, we have survived. All Americans need to know we are still here and why that’s important. All this s**t the feds are doing, they did to our people too.
What is the correct term these days? I want to respect how people want themselves referred to and thought Native American was it, but I’m not a young person anymore so maybe I’ve become one of those old farts who uses an out of date term and people around them just tolerate it.
If I have become that person please let me know. I’ll be horrified but will correct myself in the future.
I am also that old fart then! As far as I know Native American or First People's is appropriate unless you know someone's tribe. See it is like saying Spanish and then Catalonian or American and then Panamanian. Honestly you are very kind to check though. People shouldn't have to be so scared of saying the wrong thing!

I am Ponca. I did not mean color blind as far as history goes. I'm saying this - when I was growing up we had people of many races in our school. I never looked at someone and thought that person is black or that person is ndn or that person is Swedish. They were just people, friends, teachers etc. We still learned about history, just not as much as we should.
The things happening now are exactly how genocide starts. Even people who have their heads in the sand could be targeted. And it all happens way too quickly.
There’s only one race on earth - the human race.
The left has purity tests that’s why they lose so always
How is people of color different from colored people?
how long have you been alive on planet earth, the United States? You would know the answer to your question just by simply being alive long enough to have the life experience to understand this. If not maybe somebody can explain or you can ask ChatGPT or something.
All those words and you could have just explained that "colored" is considered a slur, and its usage in not only slavery and segregation, but in passing laws designed to keep whites above everyone else.
It's easier to assume that all questions are genuine.
you're not wrong but respectfully: "all those words," yourself. i'm astonished there are people on this sub especially who don't know this basic point of info in US history. in the end it's a part of our over all problem and reflects poorly on the state of our educational system, no matter how well meaning someone is being in posing the question, which is why i was asking after the person's age. anyway. we needn't argue and i don't intend to do so. just explaining all those words with yet more. i'm glad you answered their question and apologies for distracting from the convo.
The words mean the same thing. It's not the n word, it's not blackface, I don't see a reason why it's mot to be used.
True, we’re all basically colored.
As a black person we truly, truly don't care if you call us colored.
Edit: I'm speaking for me and my coloreds. Not all black people play UNO the same. Be careful who you call what and where you draw Muhammad.
Yes, tf we do
Respect, I just think they put too much spice on BLACK sometimes
Trump certainly put plenty of spice on the word black. When he says it, it's in all caps, italics, and has quotes around it. WTH. Can't wait until he's gone.

Was already boycotting because of what Paramount pulled on Colbert.
I canceled our Paramount+ subscription because of what they did to Colbert, but I was already boycotting CBS because it's chock full of stupid programming for Middle America. Seriously, everything that runs on CBS is the opposite of high-brow and/or innovative. They've created a television network that is the equivalent of Nashville country music: it is for a group of people that will buy any product if it has the right label on it and looks & sounds like what they know from their past.
Opposite of high-brow and innovation = Middle America

Same
It was time when Bari was announced as CBS news director. She is not a serious person.
Oh, she's serious. She's serious about plunging this country head first into fascism so long as it remains profitable for her.
I think it’s more dangerous than that; she thinks personal freedoms must be sacrificed to preserve her moral beliefs.

After Ellison gobbled up Paramount and CBS, the outcome of Trump administration genuflection was written on the wall in bold letters. After 'cancelling' Colbert, this Streisand Effect next step fits squarely within the prognostic window. Bari Weiss, lol.
Bye CBS!

Boycott advertisers. Hit CBS where it hurts.
This is the way. Nothing works except a company losing money.
name some... i don't watch CBS so i have no idea who advertises there.
People are strategizing here- they’re not your personal assistant. There is probably a way to find out without having access to their programming if you’d like to help research.
You: "Do a thing!"
Them: "OK, how can I do the thing?"
You: "I'm not your mom!"
First of all, I’m not the “you” as it wasn’t even my suggestion. My point was that people need to start getting comfortable doing some work to help pitch in with the movement. We have to be willing to put in a lot more effort than that.
And just so I’m following my own advice, here’s a site that helps you determine sponsors:
https://stopmediabiasnow.com/cbs-advertisers/
And guess how I found that? A 2 second google search.
that wasn't so hard, was it?
i've sent an email to chewy which is the only brand i found on that list that i do business with.
Sometimes I ask people questions I could Google (technically DuckDuckGoose for me but I digress) because I like the engagement. I like an answer that has a comment or anecdote attached. I also like answering questions that people could Google.
What, all the pharmaceutical companies? /s
Nah, I’d have to watch to see who the ads are, and I quit network TV months ago. If enough people just quit watching cbs won’t have any eyeballs to sell.
You can literally search “CBS top advertisers.” That’s literally all it takes. Do you somehow think that everyone gets their information from TV these days and not the Internet?
Have another cup of coffee. My point, which you missed, is that networks are already irrelevant so stop watching and their advertisers will quit buying air time to sell us miracle cures and furniture. CBS is just another archaic domino to fall.
Save your grumpiness for MAGAS.
Did anyone else see that CBS allowed ICE to advertise as well? Had to rewind Saturday nights 48 hours - ICE had a recruitment advertised - I was disgusted…. Have never watched Fox, cancelled Disney …. Now CBS. He’s taking over the media .. this is scary stuff!
Reddit also takes money from ICE and CBP for recruitment ads.
Someone in Reddit a while back works in Internet advertising and said that we should click those ads and interact for a bit, because ICE pays by the click.
They get nothing but reported.

Can I borrow this graphic please!
Go for it! There’s this one also

Pin boycotting CBS since the Colbert censoring. Canceled Paramount and I avoid all things CBS, even radio. It was clear that the direction things were going was toward a Trump controlled media. News that will only please 47 and his puppeteers is all you’ll get from CBS now.
Bari Weiss has always been garbage. This is no surprise at all.
Surprise is not a condition of outrage. Just because something is not a surprise doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of pushback.
When did “why are you surprised?” become our default response to everything? Who is talking about surprise? People are talking about outrage, and “Well I’m not surprised” does nothing but deflate the anger that might move people to action.
Honestly, seeing them promote Trump hosting the Kennedy Center award show during yesterday’s football games was enough for me
Already canceled Paramount Plus months ago, if you still have it cancel it
Trump is doing Trump Kennedy center honors broadcasting Tuesday. No thank you old orange rapist.
You’re still watching?
It's way passed time.
too late... already boycotting them.
I already have. I use to watch the morning news and I noticed how they were covering news in a different way. Actually, they just quit talking about it. Now it’s about selling me cheap plastic shit from china like it’s news. And then later having some celebrity talk about their new book or movie. That’s the news folks!
Honestly, no one should be watching TV news in general. That’s my 2 cents
Already boycotting their news.
People still watch CBS?
Well clearly. If nobody did, it wouldn’t matter now would it?
Already killed Paramount+, now goodbye to Bari’s World
Donate and download the PBS app for your tv! It’s so worth it for the Ken Burns stuff alone! Especially the American Revolution and the Civil War. Ahem. Anyway hit CBS in the only ways they understand: don’t give them your money or eyeballs.
💯
Done!!
Bari Weiss is a total criminal
I cancelled Paramount+ and stopped watching CBS when this all started last year. I do not support companies who support fascism. There’s an app that keeps track of company beliefs and donations called Goods Unite Us. I use it to help decide where I want to spend my money.
Cancel paramount +
I had no idea she actually believed her own bullshit. Disappointing human being. We should absolutely protest/boycott
It’s paramount you need to boycott.
Canceled Paramount + subscription today. I encourage more to follow. We can also vote with outr spending and boycott
???? Time to? Haven't we been since they bowed down to cheeto six or more months ago?
You guys haven’t been boycotting since they cancelled Colbert?!
Bari Weiss has turned CBS into Diet Fox News, which is far more dangerous. Reasonable old people, who still respect CBS from the era of Walter Cronkite busting open Watergate live, may not realize how it's changed.
As part of my boycott, I have even had to give up my great-nephew's show on CBS, which is the #1 show. He is the star character and his character's name is the first word of the show's name.
Well survivor and amazing race are over so why not
Been that way for a while.
I already was except for Steven Colbert. I want to support him. I watch nothing else on CBS.
Same. I just watch him on YouTube.
Way ahead of ya. I haven't watched CBS in like a decade. Lol
Cancelled Paramount on Amazon account!

I boycotted them when they didn’t renew Colbert.
Already cancelled Paramount + and haven’t watched anything from CBS for years anyway
Been done doin dat
Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave
I’ve been boycotting since they paid the bribe to trump. Piss on ‘em
We have stopped watching CBS. Our favorite show was CBS mornings with Gayle King. Now I can’t watch it anymore.
I remember when 60 minutes was a big deal. It felt so serious and honest back in the 90s. Now it’s trash. Does anyone watch it? Does anyone watch tv that is not on a paid streaming platform?
To be clear, local news (except for Sinclair stations) on local CBS affiliates are still fine- they're not operated by CBS. When CBS syndicated shows come on, that's when you turn it off.
Don’t worry, I haven’t watched any of that crap since 2016. I was so angry at all the free airtime they gave this twat I stopped watching any of these kinds of broadcasts.
CBS: Compromised Broadcast System
How do you boycott something you already stopped watching years ago?
Bari Weiss is such a pathetic pick-me
Just canceled mine too!
I did that months ago. What took you so long? 😂
You guys were watching CBS?
I stopped earlier this year. Actually all TV and cable news.
I haven't watched actual national TV in 4 years
Nationwide funeral for CBS News - Celebrate it's history and mourn it's death. Educate us
On it!
Already done
We are canceling Paramount + this week. We only got it to watch the current seasons of South Park and are now caught up.
I did the same!

Boycott their advertisers, too. THAT gets attention.
You should have been doing this since Stephen Colbert was cancelled.
How does one botcott?
They don't care about our boycotts
It worked with Jimmy Kimmel.
That was a weird week.
A week, and then we all just moved on
Typically, boycotts take longer than a week for a difference to be made, but people actually have to stick with it and not go back after a short period.
