Former late-night comic David Letterman blasted his old network over a shift in its news coverage during the first year of President Trump’s second term.
“By the way, what about those idiots at CBS?” Letterman said as part of a video posted to his YouTube channel, a medium he has used to comment on current events in recent months since leaving network
“CBS News is a wreck,” he continued. “CBS News for decades … go back to World War II … Ed Murrow would be broadcasting the blitz of London from the rooftops of buildings in London. … That integrity of CBS News has been trampled on, pissed on and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.”
Letterman said the recent changes at CBS are “hurting my feelings” and that he is “sick and tired” of progressives saying, “wait until those midterms,” countering “we’re far downstream of those midterms having an effect on this.”
