CBS ‘thrown its lot with trump,’ critics say after Margaret Brennan Grills Democrat on ‘Special Election’ speech

“Face the Nation” Margaret Brennan was tested with aggressive questions about redistricting and renewed gerrymandering to Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday.

The exchange was scheduled after Brennan questioned the House Minority Leader about comments he made when he accused Donald Trump of trying to “ride the 2026 election.

“You said, Democrats – there’s no election on our side of the aisle, you said back in January,” Brennan began. “But recently, you’ve been using the word ‘tight elections’ in reference to the next midterms. Democrats are sent when President Trump uses that kind of language. How do you justify using that now?”

Jeffries argued that he was using a different name.

“I have been using that word in the context of Donald Trump which has never been seen on the GerryMander Famis maps in the form of ParryMan across the country to determine who was his representative,” he explained.

Brennan then asked Jeffries if he knew that “Democrats should go back to the Grymanderpering and revive,” It will be answered by the innocent memos all over the country, which is the Republican who started by harassing the country after the Empire. “

It turns out that many people were surprised by Brennan’s sharp rebuke.

Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic-Party Party founder and founder of Democracy Docks, posted on Bluesky: “CBS News is the way to get Trump, COLBUS TRY TRUST for Trump. Support them with Trump. Support them with your Loyalty.”

“So it’s useless and trivial, especially from a journalist who thinks,” wrote another user of Bluesky.

“And to think I thought it was right …. More than others …,” the second post. “Suppressing anger.”

Brennan’s pushback also questioned how CBS would go about reporting on the Trump administration with Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss running the gamut. CBS evening news did not cover the pardon of President Changpeng Zhao during Thursday night’s broadcast, although rival networks ABC, NBC and PBS did. (However, an experienced person mentions the newspaper in the evening and – an extension to the CBS evening news –

Zhao pleaded guilty to money laundering charges in November and served four months in prison in 2024, but was pardoned by the President (who has business ties to the Zhao family) this week.

In October, a former reporter at the Post shared his position, instead writing that, “It’s also hard to believe that Weiss will be an equal manager of the news division in light of the way the ellisoons are getting.”

“That deal and the hiring of Weiss shows everyone in the oval office, that CBS is no longer independent,” after the purchase of the saved billiard that puts more than his thumb. “

“A dark day in the newsrooms of CBS, where there are pictures of the pioneers of television news, where they were hung – Cronkite, Murrow, Sevareeid, Collingwood,” rather treated at the end of his post. “They were journalists who made television a reliable source of information. Who are we and what are we saying today?”
