Y'all the people of color are literally calling out the lack of diversity. I can't believe this made the edit. I already knew why man was gonna win the show

PLEASE tell me someone is watching MrBeast games. I'm cackling so hard at episode four. This is the election in a nutshell. All those white women drink the Kool-Aid of the religious white guy and look what happened. White women will never vote in their own favor

Yes, pretty much instantly became a fan of anyone who wasn't drinking the kool-aid. So embarrassing to watch people loving and vouching for this guy who was absolutely never picking them and probably didn't even know their names. Hopefully him and his cult get headhunted in the next round but I'm not sure enough haters made it through

LMAO I was rooting so hard for the haters. The black girl is probably losing in the island COMPETITON. Her white male bestie didn't make it. Did you see if the "DONKEY?!!" Girl made it? I was rooting for her too even though she sheeped Jeremy strategically.  

There are WAY too many Florida frat looking bros that made it to the island. Any social games will reside in their favor. Sadly it's downhill from here. 

Squid Games S2 was great. The trans woman Hyun-Ju is my favorite character. I'm glad they saved her. Her storyline next season will probably be blaming the guy with PTSD for getting everyone who left to fight killed. And I loved the cracked out rapper. He was a great villain. I wish they kept him alive over the other one. My guess is that they'll keep the main guy alive and throw him back into the games like nothing happened. We'll get like one or two more games, and be left with a final 5-8 winners.

I don't think she'll blame him for the PTSD. We shall see. I just hope they do another rebellion and its like the players vs the guards/frontman/vips. 

I hope Hyun-Ju survives. She's bad ***.

Caught up on Beast Games and woww its crazy what money does but I was hooked, a lot of dumb decisions mad but can't wait for my girl 952 to win that Island and get Jeremy a**!

Paramount Global boss Shari Redstone asked CBS brass to delay airing sensitive stories about President Trump and his policies until after she closes the deal to merge with Skydance Media, The Post has learned.

According to a source with knowledge, Redstone had become increasingly concerned over a handful of “60 Minutes” stories that drew criticism from the president and the Federal Communications Commission.

The media heiress called CBS CEO George Cheeks in April to express her concerns about critical Trump stories on Ukraine and Greenland that caused the president to urge FCC chair Brendan Carr in a Truth Social Post to “impose the maximum fines and punishment,” the source said. 

Puck News, which was first to report Redstone’s request to Cheeks, said she asked the exec what else she could expect from the program and wanted to know if it would be possible to delay sensitive stories about Trump and his policies until after she closed the Skydance deal. 

The outlet added that there’s no evidence of Redstone’s increased oversight of “60 Minutes” that has caused the show to change its programming, nor has Cheeks ever tried to execute her request.

CBS declined to comment. A rep for Redstone did not immediately return requests for comment.

A CBS insider told The Post that Redstone’s request isn’t necessarily out of the ordinary; sometimes execs make it clear to network brass that there are sensitive times to hold off on running certain stories.

But in this case, the situation is different; there is a spotlight on “60 Minutes,” which is in the crosshairs of President Trump over alleged bias.

Currently Paramount is in mediation with lawyers for Trump, after he filed a $20 billion lawsuit against “60 Minutes,” in which he alleged the show “deceptively edited” its sitdown with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who was running for president at the time, to make her look better

Carr, who is charged with greenlighting Paramount’s $8.4 billion merger with Skydance, has also launched a probe into the interview over claims of “news distortion.”

“60 Minutes” has claimed no wrongdoing and released the unedited interview and transcript of the sitdown, but the episode has rankled journalists inside of the network. 

Last week, Bill Owens, the head of the show,stepped down, citing concerns about a lack of editorial independence. 

In recent months, Owens bumped heads with higher ups at the company, notably Redstone.

Redstone, whose family stands to pocket about $1.75 billion if the $8 billion merger with Skydance Media goes through, allegedly pressed CBS News president Wendy McMahon to fire Owens for airing of a one-sided January report on the Gaza War. 

Following the episode, Redstone insisted that Susan Zirinsky, a legendary CBS producer who also served as the news division’s president from 2019 to 2021, oversee the Standards & Practices of “60 Minutes” and other CBS News programs. 

Owens privately bristled at the appointment of Zirinsky, who had once been in a bake-off with him for his job at the show. Zirinsky later brought in CBS News veteran Al Ortiz to help her with oversight of “60 Minutes,” which was much more palatable to Owens. 

Owens’ concerns of editorial interference were echoed by “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley, who launched into a shocking on-air attack of Paramount on Sunday, in which he accused top brass of interfering with the program’s coverage.

In a tribute to “60 Minutes” Owens, Pelley went off on Paramount’s heavy handed-interference, which caused his boss to resign.

Although Pelley said “none of our stories have been blocked,” he noted that Owens “felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.”

someone tell me what that says

Basically we have a dictator President that has the fragile ego of child. If any media isn't running positive stories about him he will abuse his power by and threaten them.

so basically they're merging and want to be cautious with what they're airing leading up to the merge deal. 

do people actually watch 60 minutes? 

People usually only watch the high profile interviews, like Kamala. Other than that, I think only seniors watch it on the regular.
