Tell CBS News: Cover Trump’s Pardon of Crypto Ally

CBS Evening News failed to cover Donald Trump’s pardon of a cryptocurrency executive with close ties to his family — a glaring omission from one of the nation’s biggest broadcasters.

The silence is especially troubling given CBS’ recent leadership shifts. The network, now owned by Trump ally Larry Ellison’s son, has hired Bari Weiss — founder of the conservative outlet The Free Press — as editor-in-chief, and appointed a Trump-nominated ambassador to oversee “bias complaints.” Ellison has also pledged to end diversity initiatives and even discussed giving Trump $20 million in free airtime.

When corporate influence and political favoritism shape newsroom decisions, the public loses the independent press democracy depends on. Add your name to demand CBS uphold its journalistic duty — and cover presidential conflicts of interest without fear or favor.
