CBS may as well start airing a 24/7/365 yule log fire with public domain music. They’ll save a lot of money—which they’ll need when their only advertisers are MAGA.

In case you were wondering whether you should cancel your Paramount+ subscription…
“Ellison’s [spawn of the Oracle billionaire] goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more ‘America-centric’ and geared toward ‘the middle of the country.’”
